I'm never concerned about the damage from giants in handlock matches. It's the taunt wall that is a problem, if the warlock has time to build one. I play midrange, not face, though. I added Spellbreaker to my hand to go with the owl (only have 1 own in my collection) to get around taunts just today. I'll see how well it plays. Also crafted Dr. Boom today! LOL, only cost me like $120 to get the cards for dust. I remember when I was gonna play the game for free.
I actually played like a 25 turn game vs handlock with my hunter a few days ago. No idea how I lasted that long, but he summoned Lord Jaraxxus around turn 21 or so, and I got him down to 1 health but had to pass and he had fatal on the board. Even though I lost, that's my best game I've played imo. A face hunter never wins after the taunt wall goes up.
