I really wanted this deck to be good - I like the concept!

Unfortunately, it just doesn't work at all.

Played it 4 times, lost all four times, including one that just had spells in my hand. No minions of any sort, spells. I'd say this deck is a failure. 

Some tips for playing this deck:

1. It’s more of a control rather than mid-range deck. If you ever played miracle and always dagger on turn 2—yeah that’s pretty much you do with this deck as well. Also an important thing is keep your eyes open to get value out of Shaodwsteps, which is the point of this deck.
2. Unless you are very sure that you can get HUGE value later, make value out of your Shadowstep right now. You are risking it become dead cards if you wait too long.
3. If you can get value from shadow step your guy but not at the moment（eg: you just killed a guy with The Black Knight, but you know he has more taunts in his hand）, pick the guy up when you still can. Recently ppl tend to clear the board more than they should, don’t give them the chance to ruin your Shadowstep value.
4. It’s not an OMG-80%-win-rate deck at the first place, so yeah keep that in mind.

With that being said, I like the idea about this deck, it’s a bit similar to “Toolbox” strategy in MTG---annnnd I suggest the name to be “toolbox control”, it’s more accurate than mid-range J I do like the gameplay a lot as it has a lot of thinking and turn out to be quite rewarding sometimes. And the deck will get more power as more battlecry minions make their way to the game.

Now, some ideas for OP: (Disclaimer: some of which may be terrible ideas as I haven’t test them out yet.)

Later game cards: This deck has very little early plays. But for its slow speed, late game threat is a bit of lacking. I’m not sure which cards to add though.

Cold Blood: this deck is already on the short side in terms of minion count, and tbh I do not think it makes good use of cold blood—more often it’s just one card for 4dmg. I’d say take them out.

Zombie Chow: Now it’s not the best “control” card ever, it’s here in case you want to go mid-range rather than control.

Sap: this deck has 2 sap and more than often I get a dead one stuck in my hand. Maybe one copy of sap is enough? I kind of want Assassinate to be in its place.

More value cards: I mean, value! You know, those cards we played when minions rogue was a thing. Shadowstepping them sometimes worth a card :P

Conceal/Master of Disguise: I find myself wanting a conceal for some minion I really want to keep alive so I can shadowstep later. Conceal hardly worth a card(in non-miracle decks that is), Master of disguise is kind of okay but too expensive.

Crazed Alchemist: work wonders sometimes, Add him if shamans get out of hands.

I’m currently testing a version with argent commander, assassinates and perdition’s blade. I’ll let you know if I get destroyed :P

I've reached level 2 with other decks so I'm not a noob and I can say that this deck doesn't work in the high ranks...and I dont see how it could work in the lower ones...I've been trying to play rogue, every version of it starting from the usual high rank you get at season start without any success...versus cancer hunter it's almost an auto loss and that's at least 50% of the matches nowadays...

Naxx pretty much killed rogue...

miracle is fine in this meta, and has a 50/50 or better matchup vs hunter depending on variation of miracle and who you ask

This is strange, but the deck works. Played 3 games on 18-17 rating. All 3 matches versus shadow priests. 

playing 4th game against hunter. hoping for best. But there is a sence that the deck is incomplete. Dont know what is missing.

Not sure rank 18 and 17 vs Shadow Priests is a good sample , lol.

of course! only legendary ranks can judge the deck)

those 3 wins were last 3 wins i got yesteday with this deck. After that i got about 10-12 losses in a row. 

I'm tired of miracle. Its not that cool as it was earlier. Its well-known and easy countering now. I;m hoping for an invention of fast and deadly deck, like EbolaDruid. 

Naaah, i wont say that only Legendary ranks can judge things but its a fact that people there a atleast a bit more experienced :D. Looking at your statement, you like aggro / Midrange?

If i'm on 17th position after 1st November - it doest means that im unexperienced) And i think that decks have to be tested in all levels, to see  its strenghts and weaknesses. Thats why we are here ) 

If there was no tonns of zoowarlocks and shadow/control priests - i would prefer long and interesting games. But you see the current situation - thats why we need to create fast and deadly rogue deck.

I actually played a variant of this before the leeroy nerf. I love playing tempo rogue but it's become so incosistent in the post nax meta. I had to switch to a combination miracle and tempo rogue which is working really well for me. However this deck is very interesting and renews my hope of playing tempo rogue once again.

Hi! this deck looks amazing! i currently on rank 17 but i dont wanna try this deck just because i dont have neither sylvanas or tbk (and i have only 20 dust :P) any replacement? i have up 2 loatheb in naxx, so...... yeah, i need more cards haha 

HI, thank you so far, i do think that TBK is pretty much unreplacable because of his battlecry synergy on shadowstep, you can replace sylvanas with cairne

great, i have cairne :D now 2 think about something 2 throw until i got tbk :P i think i go harvest

tbk is worth crafting, because he got his use in almost every midrange - controll deck , you could try to replace im with a bomb or Spellbreaker

well, atm argent commander works fine, at least i have something 2 use haha, again thanks a lot 4 the deck!

This is nothing more then the old tempo rogue deck with shadowsteps....WHY? I mean other rhen bouncing si:7 and or loatheb it seems wasteful

if that was true, i would not have made this deck in first place and if your only seeing SI:7 bouncing, you maybe got something wrong but nvm everyone his opinion. sad that you dont like it

its nothing personal I just think better cards could fill those slots yeah the bounce of certain cards with battle cry, not just si:7 which you think is all I can see, is cool. I mean you get a second play of said battle cry at a reduced rate and that is pretty cool tempo concept but I still feel the deck is nothing more then a tempo deck with a new spin, its not a bad thing was just asking for a clarification. Nothing more.

i didnt took it personal, but ofc its sad if someone doesnt likes a thing and yes you are right, its tempo with a new spin. hopefully i can bring some light into the dark next days and thank you for yor honest feedback =)

I'm with you on this one, what do you need shadow steps for?

And i tried this deck on ladder it fails horribly. On the other hand no proof of legend with this.
No print screen didn't happen in my opinion.
