Still in very rough form, but it's workable now. I believe this is ultimately tier 4, fair warning, but super fun, plus I've had success beating ramp decks with it. (NB that when I say tier 4, I mean jt struggles against OTK decks and Painlock--not a good look right now.) Please take it and workshop it to see if you can make it competitive!
The goal of the deck is to hit our combo pieces as quickly as possible: Tess, Maestra, and Goldbeard, and make sure that you've bounced and replayed Goldbeard at least once. Once you play a hero card from another class (from Maestra), Tess replays all Rogue cards (plus others that aren't from your new hero's class). That includes Goldbeard. If you have Shadowstepped or Breakdanced Goldbeard back to hand and played him at least twice, this will summon as many randomly attacking temporary copies of Goldbeard as there are board spaces. (Make sure to save at least one bounce card for Tess, in case your first Tess doesn't bounce herself.) Eventually, you will be summoning a full board of 5/5s and 6/6s (with an occasional 6/5 thrown in there) every single turn--if Goldbeard doesn't kill the opponent, eventually playing Chef Nomi every turn will.
The drinks are in there to give you a fighting chance against fast decks, to efficiently discount your Snatch and Grabs, and to turn your Tess into a Reno once she's up and running. Backstab is there for Flame Imps. I'm not sure about Drink Server, the weapon package, Quickdraw, and (to a lesser extent) Gold Panner, as they help find your wincon/give survivability but clog up the hand once you've found it (drinks especially)--so that's 7-9 cards to potentially flex in and out. I've already tried the Velarok route; he is surprisingly bad, since he's very often inactive till after Maestra.
If this gets a bit of traction, I'll clean up this guide and give a bit more strategy, but for now, take it and run with it, and hope you enjoy outvaluing the other value decks.
