If you go back through the meta builds for the past few months, you'll find this is the standard type of build used, and Silver is the standard % pen item for a crit build. While you can sort of build Hou hybrid (e.g. Trans + Fail-Not a consideration), this still likely ends up being the best pen item for most builds.
Examples:
Zapman (2 weeks ago) - built both Exe and Silver
Mast (from March) - had both Silver and Dom
That said, I think my preferred build at this point would be a different meta build, going Cowl -> Trans -> Ata -> WD -> Silver -> either DB form. A bit of CDR for his abilities (esp ult) is appreciated.
