Rogue Decks
Anybody have a good rogue deck (not the archetype)? Anybody else still creative enough to not hop on the color matters bandwagon?

I started with the idea of making a rogue deck when my Bitterblossoms were dedicated to it. They've moved onto better things, but the rogue deck has stayed. For a while the only big guy in there was the earwig squad, but I've recently made some changes and had a chance to play test, and it went fairly well. I wouldn't recommend it for tourney play without some more extensive play testing.
3x Prickly Boggart
3x Nightshade Stringer
4x Inkfathom Infiltrator
4x Oona's Blackguard
4x Strinkdrinker Bandit
4x Glen-Elendra Liege
4x Earwig Squad
4x Ghastlord of the Fugue
4x Unmake
4x Morsel Theft
22 Swamps
The idea is to have the evasive 1 drops to try to get into prowling early. If they're not evasive enough, the Inkfathom Infiltrator isn't far behind. Which is even better with the blackguard, bandit, or the liege. And the ghastlord is in there for some more heavy hitting. Earwig Squad's prowl ability is nice against combo decks, and Morsel Theft prowl is great for the card draw, but the hard cast can be good enough to get that list little bit of damage through. And with all the pesky persist creatures these days, and its non-color specific kill, unmake is an easy choice.
This could be better if one were willing to commit higher value cards to it.

Common mistake, but "rogue" decks as in not an internet-deck(i.e.--Faeries, Quick 'n' Toast, Red Deck Wins, etc)
your deck would be considered the Rogue Archetype, but like I said, common mistake for new-ish players.

Once again, not A Rogue deck, but rogue decks
Rogue Decks are decks that people create, not copy. Like a Quick 'n' Toast deck, or a Faerie deck are non-rogue decks, but a G/W deck that uses Glittering Wish as a win condition, is considered a rogue deck, because it wasn't an "net-deck" or based off of a Pro-Tour winner's deck.

O.... you said NOT the creature type!
Well yah, i dont use ANY net decks at all! it's much more fun that way!
I mean, it's not like a shun good cards, for example, before shards came out i used this deck:
4 x Doran the Seige tower
4 x Kitchen Finks
4 x Treefolk Harbinger
4 x Nameless Inversion
4 x Chameleon Colossus
4 x Profane Command
4 x Shriekmaw
4 x Creakwood Liege
4 x Bitterblossom
4 x Reflecting Pool
4 x Twilight Mire
3 x Wooded Bastion
2 x Fetid Heath
7 x Forest
4 x Swamp
I call it my All-stars deck, cuz its not particualrly great, it just uses lots of good cards:
my sideboard had:
4 x stillmoon cavalier
4 x oblivion ring
3 x Cloudthresher
4 x terror
Which did pretty well, but i changed it to be more shards friendly.
You know i also use my Angelfire Tempest deck which i'll post later, but it changed some more and it's SICK! what deck do u use radnomryan?
