After getting tired of struggling to find my auctioneers in Miracle Rogue I decided to create my own deck that works within the current meta.  I may alter this going forward as I progress up the ladder, but right now I'm running this at rank 8 with a lot of success.  

The point of this deck is to utilize all the cheap spells rogue has in a direct and aggressive manner.  Questing adventurer and Mana Addict have both made appearances in some Miracle lists.  However, in my experience I always had too much trouble setting them up along with auctioneer under a conceal without getting blown out by an aggressive deck.  Which is why I was running standard Miracle Rogue.  Miracle Rogue is an amazing deck with explosive potential, but without your auctioneer it's a really difficult battle that usually ends in a loss since Miracle runs a lot of otherwise useless air to fuel the auctioneer.  

This made me consider what the actual Protocol of rogue is in the current ladder climbing meta.  It has a tremendous ability to control the board with Blade Fury to fight off aggressive decks like Zoo or any of the other numerous aggro decks out there.  The Coldlight Oracles are there to fuel the deck to keep you full of cards to fling.  I use Shadowstep on them quite frequently.  It's especially funny to run through a couple Oracles only to see control warrior or handlock start burning their important cards from their hands being too full.  Aside from that shadowstep is incredibly useful in this deck whether it's on an Abusive Sergeant, SI:7, or good ol Leeroy.  The singleton Sap is there to clear any nuisance taunts or creatures that have been buffed by your opponent.  

Try it out and let me know what you think!  I'll try to answer any questions or suggestions in the comments if you have any.

 I've tried multiple variants with the slot shiv is in now.  I've used 2x Abusive Sergeants, a Sprint and Assassinate, but now I'm using shiv for the extra spells for Addicts, and the additional card cycling.

Mulligan Strategies:
Against aggro you want to keep things like Backstab, SI:7 Agent, Blade Flurry, and Deadly Poison.

Against control you are looking to put down the hurt and want to keep cards like Questing Adventurer, Conceal, Mana Addict, and I still like to keep a Blade Flurry to get a nice swing through their taunts or other creatures.  Blade Flurry also makes for a great win condition if you poison an Assassin's Blade swing and Flurry for 10 damage at the end.

Let me know if you have any other questions about mulligans or general play with the deck!
