Hi, this is my new custom rogue jade deck. It can out-pace aggro with decent luck at draws and can out-last big control decks (even jade druid!).
VIDEO:

Mulligans:
Backstab, Jade Shuriken, Jade Swarmer, Bloodmage Thalnos, Eviscerate, Novice Engineer, Mistress of Mixtures, Loot Hoarder, Undercity Huckster
Goal of deck: remove early game garbage with removals and small minions while drawing. Start putting out jade cards and pulling them back into hand/copying them with raptors and shadowcaster. Also gang-up should be used on any of the 3 jade minions in this deck as soon as you can use it as this is how you will start out-pacing other decks.
Brann Bronzebeard targs:
Shadowcaster, Aya Blackpaw, Unearthed Raptor, Xaril, Poisoned Mind, Jade Spirit, Barnes
Barnes can pull out many useful targets:
Xaril, Poisoned Mind, Jade Swarmer, Aya Blackpaw, Loot Hoarder, Bloodmage Thalnos, Undercity Huckster
If you can save Barnes for after you have ganged up, you will have a much bigger chance of pulling a better target.
I will write a detailed guide later if this gets enough upvotes, thank you for viewing.
Journey is a nice option. Getting an extra Aya or Swarmer ramps up the golems pretty quickly. Cobold might work, but sometimes the draw is the more important trait in rogue. Having a certain card come up a turn earlier could mean the game. Consider another Gnomish Inventor or a shiv. The spell damage is important for tempo plays, though, since you want to use your burn on minions to keep your board intact. Experimentation is your friend! Keep track of the cards and note how useful they were in each situation.
I've started using Shiv myself yesterday. Mirror matches on the ladder show, that other players do it as well, it works good.
Probably Aya, she is the core of jade decks. You can replace Bloodmage Thalnos with Kobold Geomancer, and Xaril, Poisoned Mind with Undercity Huckster or Unearthed Raptor
I would use Shiv over Novice Engineer. Shiv is direct damage and gets Spell Power, also having Engineer makes Barnes weaker. Overall looks good, though I feel like the Gang Ups and Shadowcaster would dead draws against aggro. Perhaps a Sinister Striker or second Mistress may be better in place of one of those.
2nd Mistress of Mixtures. Small change, big impact :)
Pretty damn good deck if you consider the fact that you can clear the board on pirate warriors.
I dont have a problem with aggro decks i have a decent win rate against them just got to out tempo them and play more control like an contest the board.
Shaku, the Collector is OP in this deck. Not sure what I switched off the top of my head but it helps a lot.
Also took UnrealRobbin's advice on the switches below.
God everyone keeps saying that Shaku sucks.
Just because a 3 mana 2/3
Loot HoarderUndercity Huckster (I understand my mistake) with Stealth is the Rogue Legendary doesn't mean it sucks. If people playLoot HoarderUndercity Huckster, they should at least take a look at Shaku.its been winning matches for me as long as timing is right
Loot Hoarder is a lot better than Shaku, the Collector because Loot Hoarder draws you a card while Shaku, the Collector gives you a random card from your opponent's class. A card that you draw from your deck will almost always be better than a random class card because it fits into your deck. Rogue relies heavily off of combos and synergies and a random card from your opponent will almost never be as synergistic as one that you put into your deck intentionally. This is why Loot Hoarder is the better card. That being established, Loot Hoarder is 2 mana while Shaku, the Collector is 3 mana. EVEN FURTHER than all this about Loot Hoarder being better, how many Rogue decks do you see that play Loot Hoarder ? None... other than Deathrattle decks, and Shaku, the Collector isn't even deathrattle. It's a simple fact of life, Blizzard hates Rogue with a red hot fury, so why would they give us a good card?
EDIT: Sorry about the rant :)
I didn't say Shaku was better than Loot Hoarder, so you didn't have to really prove that point - I knew all this.
Doesn't mean Shaku deserves disrespect.
It's just a game. Try new things. Mess around. Have fun. Whats the worst that'll happen? Your Legend rank will fall to the heavy 3000s? Boo hoo.
I found gang up slow and N'zoth slow, Replacing them with just more removal and stay alive cards made this deck work a lot better for how I play. I put in a second Mistress of Mixtures, a Shadow Strike and a second Sap. That second sap slot is the only one I'm still fiddling around with, it doesn't feel great; however, N'Zoth and gang ups have only ever made me win more, the deck has a threatening enough win condition without them in my opinion.
Aggro decks hurt
If Priest and Druid are a consistent matchup, remove Gang Ups for another Mistress and Shadow Strike, or just two Shadow Strikes. Those can help take care of bigger golems,
Vanish - clears buff on hp overloaded minions, plus you might mill some of their cards if you return a whole board to them.
With how ramped pirate warrior is, ooze would actually be an excellent card to tech in
I´ve also struggled to find a decent deck which is able to deal with both: Pirate Warrior and Jade Druid (vs. Dragon Priest I was quite successful anyway). Here´s the line up I run currently:

Maybe put Ragnaros the Firelord?
