Cleaned up a previous list and figured it was different enough to warrant a completely new deck for two reasons: 1) I figured out that this isn't actually a Thief Rogue variant but rather its own thing--thief cards are complete and utter bait in this deck, and 2) this deck has a secondary win condition (and much better survivability) in Spectral Cutlass.
The premise of the deck is pretty straightforward: find Maestra, Mask Merchant and play her turn 6; swap out your hero turn 7; play and bounce Tess Greymane turn 8; rinse and repeat, making sure to add in Spectral Cutlass and Shoplifter Goldbeard (whom you need to save a bounce for, as he needs to be played at least twice for Tess to summon a full board of Goldbeards) when you have breathing room. This turns Tess into Shudderwock and Spectral Cutlass into Kingsbane.
Everything else is card draw/tutors, weapon upgrades, and removal.
Fair warning: this deck is probably tier 3 or 4 depending on the meta and the population of its natural predators: Incindius, Sunsapper Lynessa, Lamplighter, Dirty Rat, and decks like Painlock that make tall threats earlier than the Rogue can remove them. However, it's very fun and has a fighting chance in any matchup except Painlock!
