This temporogue list i hit legend. 60% winrate from rank 5 to legend this season.
Legend proof:
Winrates:
Card choices:
Backstab - good tempo card, nothing to say.
Eviscerate - good tempo card and good finisher
Cold Blood - help trading, and good finisher as well.
Swashburglar, Patches the Pirate, Southsea Deckhand - good tempo start, and draw cards. I discover that 3 pirates is exactly what u need for Patches the Pirate. Also Southsea Deckhand could be finisher. Also that's a good synergy with Cult Master. And if Cult Master stay's on board, it could be combo with Golakka Crawler and Cult Master together.
Hallucination - 1 mana choose card (which is basically - draw a card of your choice) combo activator - all we needed.
Razorpetal Lasher - a week one, but still give us oppotunity to deal one more damage for 1 mana and activate combos.
Undercity Huckster - draw a card, but pretty random effect for 2 mana, moreover it's only deathrattle, which makes it worse, so only 1 copy of that card.
Golakka Crawler - good versus any decks that have pirates, also as i'm already said it could be combined with Cult Master + your pirates to draw or just eat your pirate to play around something (let's say Frostbolt)
Defias Ringleader - very underestimated card. U get 2-2 and 2-1 for 2 mana, which is huge tempo like pirate tempo. U definitely what to hold that going second and going first hold with Backstab or in specific matchups.
Edwin VanCleef - actually kinda weak in this list, 'cause we have a lot of stuff to do and don't have Preparation, so it's kinda midgame or 6-6 turn 2 if u got lucky. But still it's good. Don't worry if u put him only 4-4 or 6-6 most of the time it's ok and totally correct.
Argent Squire - sticky minion which we want in our tempo deck. Also could do good trading with Cold Blood at same time creating a threat. But Fire Fly have another advantage which is generating value and activating combo, so you could try it instead of Argent Squire. Also if you facing a lot of murlock paladins you can use Hungry Crab instead of it (to totaly crush them, but you already winning). There is another option which i'm not tested yet - Bladed Cultist, but bubble seems more valuable for me, because of Cold Blood
SI:7 Agent - good tempo-removal card, that's it.
Shaku, the Collector - threat that generates value. In best case that's like one turn shaku, next turn Cult Master and something on board with Cold Blood, so many threats for opponent, and that defend each other, and that's a lot of oppotunities for your opponent to do mistakes.
Perdition's Blade - I found this is better than Deadly Poison despite it 6 damage per 2 turn for 2 mana each, because you can split damage in 1 turn which is huge in current meta (vs paladins, rogues, druids), moreover it's 4 damage in 1 turn and we have a lot of 4health minions to target. And finally it's 1-2 lethal damage trough the taunts. You can try Obsidian Shard, but i think it's awkward if u don't draw or play another classes cards, and can't spluit damage, so it's Perdition's Blade for me.
Vilespine Slayer - very good removal card as well as board presenting tool. In early game we have a lot of stuff to control the board, so we don't need Sap, and in middle-late game it's perfect to remove something so opponent can't replay it. Still thinking about 1 Sap, but i don't think we have enough slots in deck for it :) Too many better cards.
Leeroy Jenkins - perfect finisher
Cult Master - we really need a card draw with all our small stuff, and it's fastest draw we can get, as well as again presenting a threat for opponent. Also u could do some crazy combos to draw what u need. E.g. pirates in charge to trade, go face, then kill your own minion with backstabs\Si-7\Golakka to find lethal. And that's better than Defender of Argus (no synergy with our deck) or Naga Corsair (not creating a threat, and we not a face deck actually), also Dark Iron Dwarf is not an option (not threating opponent). In summary, we need 4 drops, more threats and draw, so answer is Cult Master!.

xaril over shaku? bounce back and +3 attack toxin offer leeroy synergy
but then turn 3 for this deck gets weaker
You answered your own question. Shaku is the only 3 drop that doesn't need a combo to be good. Otherwise you would need a 1 mana and 2 mana card to be efficient. Shaku can also give you an almost guaranteed cold blood target if you need one at the end and don't have a charge.
Edwin is irreplacable. You can use biteweed if you already have it but if not don't bother crafting it, you'd be better saving the dust for edwin. For Shaku, you could substitute in an undercity huckester or a mimic pod, just anything that hovers around the 2-3 slot that gives you gas
For Edwin, I'd say Questing Adventurer better than Biteweed, because they both grow at the same rate, and questing can still grow on the next turn. And for Shaku, the Collector, I guess Undercity Huckster but it is a much inferior card, since Shaku requires removal, otherwise it can get infinite value.
and why not Obsidian Shard ??
Perdition's Blade comes with removal for board clear whilst pushing face in the same turn though... A more solid tempo card overall.
Correct Peeboy.
ALso I'm update description so you can read it in card choices section spoiler
What app or service do you use to keep track of your wins and losses?
HearthStone DeckTracker
Thanks for the reply :) I think your deck is great. I can't figure out how to pilot it, but got annihilated by it yesterday.
just noticed the fel hound behind the cult master
😂
With all the combo pieces and importance of early board, I've replaced Golakka Crawler and Southsea Deckhand for 2x Fire Fly
Golakka is reasonable if you are not facing that many pirates. But removing deckhand would lower the chances of getting out an early patches and you lose out on a charge that can combo with cold blood.
I'm update description so you can read it in card choices section spoiler. Still Fire Fly is a decent choice
1. Don't think it's a good idea if you have all needed cards in collection :)
2. Yes you could
Actually it's hard to play without that card. U can also try Bladed Cultist andFire Fly
I have everything except vilespine and shaku, should i just craft vilespine?
Yes, that's a must-have card in every rogue deck. And you can replays Shaku with second Undercity Huckster
Any replacement for Leeroy Jenkins?
