From my experience since RoJ released, people are usually not dedicating a Dominant slot to GoyS as often as they should (IMO) in T1.
However, if this is for a T2 deck then I nearly always see GoyS.
I personally always have it in one of my dom slots in t1 and t2. It's too useful not to have, especially in a deck with multiple martyrs.
Also, I'd like to point out that simon wouldn't work for a combo like this, because he protects from opponent's cards.
Actually, looking over cards that protect hands, it seems there are none that could protect your hand from your own good cards...
