This has obviously  not been tested but this is the standard handlock with loatheb and ragnaros taken out and tharussian and chromaggus put in. Tharussian if jaraxxus is in your hand allows you to play jaraxuss at some point AND HERO POWER IN THE SAME TURN! It also skyrockets the value of your giants. Chromaggus im not sold on as it's slower than rag but it has great synergy with life tap and also skyrockets the value of any giants you draw into with mortal coil or hero power. Chromaggus also dodges bgh while rag does not and will automatically double the cost reduction of mountain giant for every card draw which can be a huge break for playing them efficiently in the late game when your hand is low and you don't want to life tap as often. Tharussian im sold on but chromaggus is up in the air for me looking forward to testing it out.

 

Still in testing, combo dominates the ladder and with the release of BRM the meta will be in flux for quite a while to come. its difficult to anticipate what kind of deck you are playing against and that can break your early game. The prevalence of hunters is also a concern. I think the basic idea is solid but in my limited play i cannot say for sure whether or not it is better or worse than the old one. I am considering swapping jarraxuss out because  of how fast the meta is right now.

 

Testing out if cutting ancient watchers for more heal and cutting jaraxxus for boom can shore up the mid game and outlast some combo decks.
