As a wrap up, people have completely forgotten/never learned how to play around Molten Giant - and with enough of the wild tools, I anticipate Wild Handlock to be a force to be reckoned with.
As an update, the version above is on a win streak, and it's doing alright. The sheer amount of AoE in the deck is helping to offset the lack of taunts, and it's just murder for some of the faster decks... like what I did to this poor druid https://hsreplay.net/replay/oRkcxdVNuGY8puS9d8Gx3j .
I'm still figuring out the deck, but it's showing much promise thus far.
I always thought the main draw for Molten Giant Handlock was the low costs Giants/High health twilight drake + Sunfury Protector/Defender of Argus to defend against aggro/Tempo. I'm not really sure how effective it is in the current meta, since most decks are designed to expect to deal with high health taunts eventually.
Either way, learning to make Handlock work in Standard is going to help a ton with modernizing the deck, as what's learned in Standard will be applicable to Wild.
why is this called standard handlock isnt this going to be a wild deck
The Molten Giant unnerf hit ahead of the rotation, so Handlock is live in Standard right now. So you've only got about a day (maybe two) before it goes to wild.
I don't really think it's a "waste" of a silence when you just used two cards on this and they just silence it with a spellbreaker. You just spent 7 mana and 2 cards for a 2/5, and the opponent spent 4 mana and 1 card for a 4/3.
Lynessa Sunsorrow can take some of the edge off, and I'd run both in that deck IMO.

This deck could probably use some optimizations, but if you're fan of Handlock, it's in standard for all of 2 days, so enjoy it while you can =)

Shouldn't this read "Whenever you cast a spell, summon a Doomsayer"?

Eh, it might work? Not sure though, but here's what I'm thinking for a possible starting point:
