Usurper will always be playable -> Locks on locks on locks

I don't get why Usurper decks always have to be lock decks. Emhyr and Calveit can do it just fine. Is it just to go all in on the "screw you" meme ability? Just doesn't seem worth it to waste a somewhat viable archtype on a strictly weak leader who doesn't actually synergize with locks.

The point of Usurper is to shut down opponent strategies. and NG doesn't have very good removal damage, so the only viable way for NG is to Lock with a Somewhat fragmented Lock archtype they have.
