Intro:

This is a deck that I've made tweaks to based on the existing rogue mech builds from the past. I'm not sure if this deck is capable of hitting legend, but it definitely works on ladder between ranks 15-10. Anything after that is a gamble. If you can familiarize yourself with the powerful plays and when to utilize them, this deck starts to show some true potential.

If you're new to the rogue class, I would suggest practicing on the AI for a few rounds.I purposely kept this budget-friendly because of the segment of players who are F2P. Cards are interchangeable, and if you have access to legendaries or tech cards -- feel free to make changes.

Playstyle:

This deck shares the same play style as some of the other "mech" classes -- in terms of minion synergies. Mechs are great because they're able to stick to the board and can trade well. Pair that with the weapon buffs of rogue and you can sneak some turn 6/7 lethals when left unguarded.

The idea is to swing face as much as possible. Only stop when you're absolutely forced to for taunts or favorable trades. Also, don't forget to use your weapon and buffs to clear minions. This deck also borrows from Oil Rogue with cards like Southsea Deckhand, Tinker's Sharpsword Oil, and Blade Flurry. If you can facilitate these cards in succession, you'll be able to push 17+ damage assuming you have a weapon with 2 charges.

It's not always sunshine and rainbows though. Taunt-heavy decks and control playstyles win most of the time if you don't have near perfect draw. You can practice playing slowly and hope for a string of decent draws, or concede to save time. I'm not telling you to concede -- but just concede.

GLHF!
