So I'm playing through the SC1 campaign right now cause I'm a huge hipster (or because I've been playing SCBW on iccup lately, one of those is true) and I was lucky enough to remember a spell that I'd forgotten about because well... no one ever used it.

Lockdown

As just a completely random thought that I haven't really heavily sat down and thought about; what if ghosts(or possibly ravens? I dunno) got Lockdown so that mech TvP was a little more viable?

It only works against mechanical units (so zergs no stress), it costs 100 energy (which could possibly go up, but definitely not down or that'd be ridiculous), and helps perhaps shut down a couple of Protoss units so that you can be a little more effective in a fight. A lot of the time when playing the game it's about making the correct choices, and in this case it would be "do I EMP the toss and just hopefully have the firepower to stop him? Or do I lockdown a unit so that they are out of the fight?".

I'm not sure how this would play out in TvT though, that's the thing that could be interesting - and to be honest it's hard to fully theorise on it because the spell was NEVER really used (apart from a few hilarious BoxeR moments) in competitive play, so the only real time you see it is during vs AI games or in the campaign and it's ******* ANNOYING.

Anyway, this could be a completely stupid idea, but interested if you guys have thoughts on this
