Hey guys!
I reached legend with this deck and Senx's Hunter deck last night. I really like rogue atm and I had a 80ish% winrate with this deck.

Good against: Paladin, Priest, Warlock
Weak against: Warrior

The Hunter matchup isn't too bad, but you need good draws to handle the early aggression.

Card choices:

2x Shiv & 2x Sap
I really like to play 2 of each of these at the moment. Sap is just too good against things like Tirion Fordring or Savannah Highmane or simply to bypass taunts. It's also great on turn 4 if you prep it out with a Violet Teacher on board for a huge tempo swing. Double Shiv is just very consistent and can be used as a very efficient removal especially if you have spell damage.

1x Sprint & 1x Gadgetzan Auctioneer
I decided to run a Gadgetzan Auctioneer over the second Sprint because I felt it was too good with Preparations. Also I kinda like the feeling of the old miracle rogue :p

1x Southsea Deckhand 
This card enables a lot of burst potential as well as a very good option to clear hunter traps or Mirror Entity. It's just too good.

Only 1 Fan of Knives?
I would really like to include a second one, but I would have to cut either a Sap or a Shiv which I wasn't too comfortable with. 

What do I mulligan?

Always keeep SI:7 Agent if you have the coin. Against control decks you can keep Preperation and Sprint if you have both in hand already. Keep Backstab and early removals against aggro decks. Against warriors you want to get a Deadly Poison to kill the Acolyte of Pain in one hit. If you face a mage you can assume that it's mech mage so definitely keep Deadly Poison and Blade Flurry to clear the board if necessary. Against Paladin you want to keep the Fan of Knives to answer the Muster for Battle.

 

Enjoy!
