Introduction
I just thought about making this deck when I realized you can pick Zephrys the Great back up with Shadowstep/Waggle Pick and also double it's battlecry with Spirit of the Shark.
The other lists I've seen online don't really convince me, even though their creators have had great success with them in some cases.

NOTE: I think this archetype isn't nearly as good as face rogue, but it's not bad and interesting to play.
Card explanation
Heistbaron Togwaggle isn't in the deck because most of the time it was too slow, and holding onto a lackey wasn't great, especially having so few lackey generators.
Bazaar Burglary isn't good enough, and the extra burgle cards I would need to run to make it work aren't good enough either.
SN1P-SN4P is a great card, but there's never a good situation to play it .
Stats show that Captain Hooktusk is great, but the other pirates needed to make her work (Ticket Scalper, Cursed Castaway), not so much, so I'm not sure if that package is worth it. The "normal" pirate package is definitely worth running imo, because all those pirates (and weapons) are great on their own.
Preparation might have been nerfed but I think it's still useful. The deck might not have that many spells by itself, but Vulpera Scoundrel, Zephrys the Great and Ethereal Lackey will give you something to use it on. Plus, as always, it's a fantastic combo enabler.
The burgle package is big enough to be able to activate Vendetta consistently without having to run the burgle spells (wich are tempo losses), which makes it worth it imo. Keep in mind that Pharaoh Cat and Zephrys the Great can give you class cards too.
I tried Youthful Brewmaster and Daring Escape for extra bouncing, but I didn't like them because they're too slow. (Shadowstep and Waggle Pick don't have this problem because they discount the minion they pick up).
Sandbinder is in the deck to tutor Zephrys the Great and Siamat.
I used to run Novice Engineer but I think it's not good enough, I prefer EVIL Cable Rat over it.
Vulpera Scoundrel is decent but not amazing, first card to get cut if I need to include something else.
Stats
Coming soon (once I've gathered more data)
Some screenshots
Chances that Heistbaron Togwaggle is a dead card are too high imo. I would swap him for Youthful Brewmaster. Plenty of high value battlecry cards in that deck.
i also had this impression when i played with a similar list. not sure though
Youthful brewmaster could be a nice addition, but I'm not sure I agree about removing tog, I'll get back to you once I test the deck more.
Edit: I've tested togwaggle some more and while I think it's not always a dead card, it's just too slow.
Can you share your stats?
1-0, haven't had much time to test it yet lol
i have been trying similar stuff out too. right away i want to say that i dont think togwaggle is worth it. i wonder what is your experience with it?
I haven't been able to play the deck much, but so far I'd say it's one of the best cards in it.You were right, most of the time it's too slow, I'm cutting it.
