Both of them do more or less the same thing if you think about it ,that is deal 2 damage, of course there are difference like Backstab costs 0 instead of 1 and can be buffed by spell damage , Southsea Deckhand can be buffed by Tinker's Sharpsword Oil and guarantee a ready to attack target for the oil as long as you have a weapon up.
They're really not that similar. Backstab costs 0, can be buffed by spell damage. Deckhand can't get past taunts, needs a weapon equipped in order to be able to charge.
U dont always have your weapon equipped, that is a big deal. U cant get pass taunts. U cant combo it as with SI:7 for 4 dmg for 3 mana etc etc, sure in theory, your suggestion seems to pay off in a long run, but rogue aint about the long run, its about the most proficient combo and it has been tested over and over, so im sorry, but u didnt break the meta with some groundbreaking idea :) But if its working for u, go for it ;-)
"they're kinda similar except 1 is a minion, 1 is a spell, 1 costs 0 mana, 1 costs 1 mana, 1 is buffed by some of my cards, the other is buffed by a few other of my cards (cold blood, maybe), 1 can go through taunt, 1 cannot, 1 is effected by loatheb, 1 is not"
Very similar cards, my friend.

As such don't you think Backstab can be replace by 2 Southsea Deckhand and make oil rogue more flexible and free up some deck slots? Instead of 2 Backstab and 1 Southsea Deckhand , make it 2 Southsea Deckhand and add another antique healbot for example? Southsea Deckhand is also good for triggering traps.
The difference between 0 and 1 mana is huge for rogue
Well you can play Southsea Deckhand naked on turn 1 vs Hunter

@DaManS already stated them on my first post? Other than that they are almost the same.
