Your best defense is not to let Clerics sit at Level 9 for too long. Or, if DI really frustrates your group, pull it out of the deck. It's your game; play it the way that makes you happy.

Or their games go long enough that they cycle through the Door deck, possibly more than once. Or someone gets the Wand of Dowsing and is very patient. I don't know how it helps answer Pheo's question to minimize his concern.
