Mill Rogue. Will add the description if we hit 5+ upvotes!

Intro:

Hello, my name is ManThighs and I'm a Canadian hs player from Canada. I first started playing hearthstone in 2015 and I immediately loved playing non-meta decks. About a year and a half ago I was on Tapped Out (An MTG Deckbuilding site) and I saw a mill deck. Intrigued I pressed on the link and I found what I thought the coolest deck archetype ever was. In MTG your hand limit is 7 so your deck was based on making your opponent draw too many cards and "Mill' the others. After I had read the post I went to Hearthstone and tried to recreate the deck. I finally made a Mill Druid deck that used Naturalize and Coldlight Oracle. The deck proved to be inconsistent and bad for the meta so I switched to Mill Rogue. The deck was tons of fun to play but also required lots of thinking and strategy. With Standard, I tried to recreate Mill Rogue and here is the result. It's not nearly as prominent as Mill Rogue was in the Pre-Standard era but when piloted properly this deck can be successful in the current meta.

 

Card Choices: 

Rogue Cards:

Backstab: A 0 mana deal 2 damage to a minon and enables combos is a 2 of for me. Sometimes better to save the card for combo or on a 3/4 instead of a 2/3. 

Shadowstep: Easily one of the most powerful cards in the deck as it enables tons of combos with Coldlight Oracle, Shadowcaster, Reno Jackson, and Barnes. 

Eviscerate: Premium Rogue Removal.  Nothing else to be said.

Gang Up: Really the only reason this deck exist. Best Combo is Gang Up - Coldlight Oracle but sometimes Gang Up and a healing card is a better play.

Sap: A Great Tempo card and extremely powerful when cards like Vanish or Coldlight Oraclehave just been played so you can destroy your opponents minion for just 2 mana.

Fan of Knives: Good cycle card and when combined with Spell Damage it's pretty powerful.

Shadow Strike: A very powerful card as it kills most minions with ease. A potential 2 of in this deck.

SI:7 Agent: A very strong rogue staple. Not a 2 of because this deck can't consistently rely on combo.

Dark Iron Skulker: Rogues only decent board clear. Absoloultey anals Zoo and 4/3 body isn't terrible either.

Shadowcaster:
