This deck was posted on reddit a week ago and is surprisingly fun. The Control Rogue archetype is hardly tried anymore ever since Oil Rogue came out in GvG. Even the occasional Dragon Rogue you run into on ladder is more tempo than control. This deck is very refined and a lot of credit should be given to the deck creator for bringing it this far. I thought at the very least that Burgles were out of place, but theyve started to grow on me. It gives you resources that helps keep you in the games that you would otherwise lose without a Prep Sprint. Farseers are serviceable in that slot if you really want, but then you need to squeeze in a second Sprint, which then gives you the inevitable clunky double-Sprint, no-Prep hands.

The other questionable card is obviously the deck's namesake, Anub'arak. I'll just copy and paste what Radius said in his thread, as he explained it perfectly why its so great:

This card is why we can build a very efficient control list. Why? Because the fact that he keeps returning which make so that we don't need to add more deckslots to other big minions. Anub'arak wins me most of my games and is the reason I win alot of control matchups. You just need to wind that one window to drop him in -> they'll use removal -> you drop him again. Of course you can't just drop him and hope for the best you need to be careful with Anub'arak to not lose him to a Polymorph/Hex or a silence. This card exceeded my expectations from when he was first revealed. He may look bad, but just by the fact that we can make an efficient decklist with just one big guy that keeps returning is what makes control rogue work. Anub'Arak is extremely strong against Control Warrior and Control Priest, because he draws so much removal (and there are almost guarateed that good situations will occur when he can be played on an empty board against those). He's so strong in those matchups, and against yourself too that you have be aware about different Mind Control options for your opponent, you can't handle Anub'Arak against yourself, because your removal is limited.

And anyone who has any other questions can go into that thread and ask him, as he still responds even a week later.
