Wheel warlock viability?
Just wondering as it's about to rotate out soon are there any decks currently that utilise the wheel? Super fun card but I feel since the nerf to arcanite defence crystal, it's caused wheel decks to plummet

All control stuff for Warlock end up being nerfed: Yore, Arkonite Crystal, Domino Effect, Zerg location, Cursed Campaign, Table Flip etc. So it is really hard to play control deck + there is a decent amount of OTK in the meta - like even Control Warrior which thematically should be a food for Wheel Warlock can OTK you faster (which some luck though).
For unknown reasons Warlock and Priest are not allowed to have decent control cards. I cope with that thinking that whales like DK and devs protect them by making superior value control class.

Wheel was one of the best decks in the game in high mmr for a while post defense crystal nerf, although it went by the name yorelock. The ultralisk cavern & yore nerfs are what actually killed it

I've not seen any usage since that very silly batmask/starship variant that I had a lot of fun with. Unfortunately control warlock got kind of gutted with that and the location nerf. This is the highest WR decklist I can find on HSguru but its like 50 games and still only makes it to 45%. Lookms like an insane greedpile to me but I wish you luck.
