I love to play Locke in my slower Lilithe Swarm lists. Crown Swarm benefits from both provoke and little buff, so does Blood Baronette Lil which enjoys stall to find its combo pieces. Now Locke herself can’t be removed with general attacks which helps.
I’m yet to try her in walls, but I lack most wall finishers.
That said, slower swarm Abyss was never a threat to the meta, that may be the reason we don’t see her often.

Locke… in… wraithcrown… lilithe… got it.
That sounds pretty nice.
On another note, I consider mirkblood to be a superior choice in most decks outside of lilithe and maybe walls, as it generates value over multiple turns and has a better body to boot.
Provoke is useful though… In less aggressive lists at least.
If I can’t call my baronet combo deck the Lockeness Monster then what’s even the point.
Undoubtedly it is, as is the ability to position your spawns freely. The question remains, however, as to whether those perks outclass mirkblood’s continual value generation and superior t h i c c n e s s. In most cases, my answer is no.
You play Mirkblood in aggro, m8. That explains why you prefer it.
And also the fact that aggro is competetive regardless of meta.
Also dont discount the silly things you can do like curving crown into locke shadow stalk or furiosa BBS. For this combo deck particularly I’d likely play both but I’ve played the deck enough that not playing Locke feels wrong IMO.
I wanted to play this with Sirocco, but I have no spirit.
Playing Oasis with him is infinitely more useful for the same cost. The only Locke advantage is resistance to plasma, but it’s rarely seen on ladder now.
I mean, for memes.
And for the ability to say you filled the board with sticky poop 
You can call it the Lockeless Monster
…
it is depends on your setting and playstyle (you can actually run both)
but i find lady more of the control type, i use her with walls as a setting for a wincon. droping her + blazing spines on 6 mana, or luminous on 8 mana knowing damn well no one wants to take the dmg so they either rush into drop a heavy tool - which then you remove, use removal and try to remove them all or ignore it.
all three choices are good for me.
Lady Locke can also be fun with Fault and Luminous Charge.
luminous is a great way to proc as a good replacement for embla and setting for the sweet wake/ razorback/ just going face with 15 dmg
Well thank you for this topic, Lady Locke was totally under my radar.
Yet another Legendary on the list to craft. 
Yep, gotta love the Locke Shadowstalk bbs at 6 mana 8)
What were the original stats?
I played Locke in my (hyper)swarm Chakram deck and she was helpful, but deck itself is not that strong and overall performance was average. I’m sure she would see a lot more play (from me, at least) if cost was lowered to 2 mana, but that might make her too strong.
