The meta decks this month/patch are more difficult to face IMO. E.g. the elemental decks that dish out 20-30 damage from their hand. There's also a lot of surprise random spread damage from hand in the meta, which doesn't favor a reactive playstyle. So I tend to contest the board more, often taking the 3 legendaries from Griftah, and I currently run Pozzik. Armor generation and defensive + sticky minions are great at the moment.
We have ways to deal with aggro. We contest the board with minions and run quick, reactive tempo cards and heals and will stall and prolong the game. Rogue does not have an inherent card 2 mana AOE 2-3 damage AOE that you can just press a button to activate.
You will be unfavored against pure face decks that build insane damage by turn 2-3. But they are far from unwinnable. We are quite strong against decks like Aggro Paladin and Secret Hunter that play aggressively but with a slower start.
Not many other 4-drops are worth it. You could experiment with Conniving Conman, but it looks a bit clunky for what you get. I'd probably go with something more flexible like Assembly Line or Eviscerate.
Edit: Another suggestion is Pozzik, Audio Engineer. Probably the strongest 4-drop after Griftah. Great tempo controller and with mill potential.

Glad you're liking it!

Thank you brother!

Kind of. Mostly 1-3 drops. Always Fool's Gold. Against Priest and Warrior, Shell Game is great.
Situational: Preparation, Griftah, Trusted Vendor, Sandbox Scoundrel, Velarok, the Deceiver. If the match-up and your hand looks good.
