Hello, I have been around since pre-TGT and I used to play handlock a crap ton. It was a great deck. I stopped playing for a little while and came back post-WOTG. I continued to play handlock, because I didn't realize molten giant had been nerfed. However, it didn't affect me too much, and with the aggro meta, I think that handlock could be the answer we have been searching for.
So, I of course switched to zoo because handlock was not strong in standard at all, but the more I think about it, themore hope I have that it could work. Yes, you sacrifice a lot of health early on, which could be dangerous against aggro, but with a few neutral heal cards and maybe even bolf ramshield, I think handlock can make a comeback on the ladder. Thoughts?
Handlock lost Antique Healbot when GvG cycled out and WotG didn't really bring up any efficient healing minions. In addition Molten Giant, which was one of the key minions in the deck, was nerfed unplayable. The "modern" version is the reno lock but the old school one was buried along the molten giant. As a player who got 500 ranked wins as a handlock, I tried to get it to work in wotg but the loss of the key cards hit it just too hard. :/

By Hamdlock, I'm guess you mean midranged hunter with LnL and all the boars.
No, that's the answer for priest.
