he locked so many cards so this happened. this feels unfair, has this happened to anyone else

I had 3 cards locked once. The encounter might need balancing, though it could also be meant to be that way : an opponent who starts slow but gets more and more powerful in the endgame, requiring you to play fast and aggressively to defeat him quickly, lest he becomes unbeatable. The fact that your run can be ended because you built too slow a deck befits the game's roguelite style.
