If you cut merchant and pariah you also cut the bonechewer brawlers and the sigil runner. Merchant is there because of bonechew and the sigil is only there for bonechew.
Siltstepper is the best card in the deck by a wide margin. Without him, you would alter like 7-8 cards in the deck and pretty much just play last expansion's deck. The stepper is the entire reason for the deck.
The main thing to say is that Hearthstone has changed as a game. Decks are more powerful. Even aggro decks aren't really what they used to be. There is currently Aggro DH, which is the aggro's side of control warrior. You have Highlander hunter, which has more endgame than a normal aggro deck, but still a standard aggro deck. Then things like Doomhammer shaman are just Tempo Mage style decks, not traditional aggro.
I will admit, so far it seems like Warrior is the only class that houses a strong control deck. It has two of them, Bomb and Control. Control Warrior is in fact a tier 1 deck, and I'm not sure why you think you have the credibility to deny that fact. Bomb Warrior, I will also admit, isn't really a "true" control deck, similar to Doomhammer shaman not being a true aggro deck.
The main finger to point at here is that Warrior has essentially monopolized the control market. Brawl is a card which has pushed Warrior control decks since the start of time. However, decks in the current meta are just too powerful for weaker control decks. What can priest do against Evolve Shaman (no, evolve shaman is not an aggro deck, it is by definition a midrange deck). Priest has their AoE at 7 mana, brawl can stop it, soul mirror cannot.
Now, the claim of control being dead is just not true. There are meta shifts where certain playstyles become null. Last expac decks like Control Shaman, Priest, and Warrior were all perfectly good and viable. If there is one expansion cycle where there is only 1 control deck (keep in mind, that control deck is one of, if not the best deck in the game), that does not mean the archetype is dead. It got bad support. Next expac (or even during the mini expac), it will be back.
That's the beauty of this deck and why I chose it. This is the version of the list I would play no matter what cards I have to work with (as you saw in the video, I played the deck on my top 350 acc). This is the best version of the list imo, which is crazy with how low dust cost it is.
A rogue will play a large edwin on you once every ~100 games you queue or so. It feels bad when it happens. But there is no reason to run a bad card in consume magic to counter that. The rogue plays it, concede and move on. You'll probably never see it again while playing the deck.

This thread is really odd to me. Control Warrior is currently a Tier 1 deck, I don't understand the idea behind "control being dead."

Wrench warrior is actually one of the easiest decks for this to beat. They just cant stop your pressure.

Super glad to hear the deck worked so well. Acrobatics is just so expensive, and the deck doesn't need that much draw.
