I've seen your list and I'd say it's a poor one for laddering now, at least for me. I've picked up Tempo Rogue on Day 1, moved from rank 8 to rank 3, but I'm facing walls of Control Warriors, which is problematic.
Why I said your decklist is poor for laddering? It's a mix a more typical Tempo list and a Burgle Tempo list. Paraphrasing Ron Swanson, it's a celery of desserts :P Either be one, or the other.
So, if you go with burgling, add other burgle cards (like that 4/3 for 4 Kobold that gives you a spell) and pair them with Underbelly Fence. Personally I find that list inferior to the normal Tempo decklist, but it kinda works better in mirrors and vs Token Druid and Murloc Shaman, as Vendetta and said Underbelly Fence allow easier board control and tempo swings in those MU's.
However, I'd cut cut both Sprint and Vendetta, as well as Blink Fox and Acidic Swamp Ooze and go for Fan of Knives, second Sap, Myra's Unstable Element (I know you don't have it, but consider crafting it - it seriously wins games with Prep and double Evi, or Leeroy/Shadowstep/Wagglepick). Since you run lack 1-drops, drop Ooze and take that pirate that ticks one durability from a weapon - the usual weapons you'll be targeting will surely be used once, on the turn they are played (Wrenchcalibur and Wagglepick), but it's your choice. Consider a 1/3 1-drop like Crystallizer (I'm using one and it's extra cool).
This leaves you with the question - should you go with Chef Nomi, or not? It's a nice push vs Control Warriors and Control Shamans, but you REALLY need to count those board clears (Brawl nad Hagatha's Scheme). Atm I'm not sure if Heistbaron Togwaggle is necessary - I've hit Rank 3 with 3 stars yesterday before hitting Control Warrior wall and I'm not sure if Tog would help (I don't run one currently). On the other hand, Nomi would.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm trying this decklist but I'm also finding it hard to pilot. It's a surprisingly hard deck to pilot despite looking easy to play - currently practicing with it in Casual.
Regarding crafting Nomi, I might craft it, especially if some sort of OTK Priest becomes a thing in a month or so.
No, I meant that I'm just waiting for a good excuse to craft Nomi.
For example, if Nomi Priest becomes a winning deck, then I would craft it. But since I can also use Nomi in Tempo Rogue, it'd be like killing two birds with one stone. Craft one card but can use it in two decks. But yeah, if not in Priest, perhaps Nomi can be used in a Mage deck

Technically it's used when you empty your deck, so anything that goes into fatigue (Control Warrior) is okay. I can't see Nomi in Mage, but mainly because it would be a slower Dragoncaller Alanna, and that card barely worked (when you play it, it's usually a "win more" card, and it won't save you if you're already dying).
FYI, go check out RDU's tempo rogue list. I have tried both the Blink fox, underbelly fence, henchclan burglar, vendetta VS the deckhand, deadly poison, hench clan thug package and I have found that the latter is much more consistent and faster. Sure vendetta is a super powerful tempo card, but running hench clan burglar and blink fox just makes your deck wayyy slower compared to the deckhand poison thug package.
I have tried both variants, and I have a noticeable higher winrate with the deckhand version. But I will admit that the burglar version is more fun to play.

+1 to this. I like Blink Fox/Underbelly Fence better, but the second package works way better.

Yeah I'm playing with the deck with deckhand, deadly poison etc at the moment. It feels like an aggro deck.

If you don't want to play the aggro style, then play the blinkfox, vendetta, underbelly version, it is still a very strong deck.
Nomi won't counter OTK Priest, mate. Vanish/Sap, maybe Unindentified Contract. But Nomi is a TTK play, and OTK Priest will still have Mass Hysteria.
I've no clue what I'm doing...

But still, it's a nice and interesting thing ;) Craft Myra's Unstable Element first :P

Hey OP,
I'm a rank 5+ mainly Tempo Rogue player. If you're still looking for tips and advice on the deck feel free to add me on BNet ZAR#21619.
I can't bring you to legend but can give you tips and tricks on that specific deck.
I could also give me thoughts on the two type of Tempo decks we're seeing right now, if you have any questions.
Edit: Goes for any "lower rank" players who might be reading this.
Take care!
