Proposed changes to give some beefier creatures or ways to fight my buddy DarthSeatb3lt and his Gisela, Blade of Goldnight deck.

1. Replace Murmuring Mystic with Silent-Blade Oni
2. Replace Soul Manipulation with Arcane Adaptation
3. Replace Merfolk Windrobber with Thieving Skydiver
4. Replace Island with Clearwater Pathway  ^Flip
5. Replace Island with Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip

I may drop the fetches for basics and look for room for Throatseeker.

EDHable rogue creatures, depending on what your deck does (some like Nephalia Smuggler need other creatures built around it:

not sorted by $$$ price

Ghostly Pilferer Gonti, Lord of Luxury Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip Guildpact Informant Master Thief Moonlit Scavengers Neurok Commando Nephalia Smuggler Nezumi Graverobber Nighthawk Scavenger Opposition Agent Brazen Borrower Rankle, Master of Pranks Sakashima the Impostor Sygg, River Cutthroat Thada Adel, Acquisitor Thieves' Guild Enforcer Notion Thief Thieving Skydiver Tinybones, Trinket Thief Undercity Informer Zareth San, the Trickster Ogre Slumlord

And here's some alternate commander ideas or maybe some might compliment nice in your rogue deck Circu, Dimir Lobotomist Oona, Queen of the Fae Skeleton Ship Szadek, Lord of Secrets The Scarab God Wrexial, the Risen Deep

wgoms, thank you for your continued interest in the deck! Yes, as soon as I get one, Maddening Cacophony will find a slot. Maybe replacing Undercity Plague, which has given a spotty performance.

Kindred Dominance and Kindred Discovery have been on my list for a time when I have excess cash - as this is a paper list, it follows paper prices *sigh.

As far as rogues from Zendikar Rising:

• Nimble Trapfinder is nice, but I will never get the full party card-draw, so it's a bit underwhelming.

• Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip is in the deck to copy lord effects.

• Nighthawk Scavenger is a little outside of my price range, but a very nice ability.

• Thieving Skydiver is likewise a little pricey, and no one in my playgroup currently runs any artifacts aside from mana rocks, eggs, and combo pieces.

• Blackbloom Rogue  ^Flip just is too much mana.

• Shadow Stinger likewise, and while deathtouch is nice, it's not unblockable.

wgoms: Yes, Marang River Prowler is in most ways better than Deathcult Rogue and a good addition.

• Earwig Squad is annoying and can shut down combo decks, but has no synergy with the rest of the deck other than it's a rogue.

• Thada Adel, Acquisitor can be very salty and combo-y, and I have no artifact combo decks in my playgroup.

• Thieving Skydiver is too inconsistent.

• Rootwater Thief is an interesting find! Seeing it errated to a Merfolk Rogue is new. Again, it doesn't really synergize with the deck.

• Master Thief is again, inconsistent.

• Agent of Treachery used to be in the deck, but was traded to Goblin_Guide (for use in deck:The Lord of Options | Atris EDH Primer, check it out) in exchange for a Coat of Arms.

• Gonti, Lord of Luxury didn't make the cut; I respect him as a commander, but don't want him in the 99.

I like your ideas about doing multiple sub-themes within the Rogue-tribal theme. I am attempting to do this by utilizing several straight-mill cards (Fleet Swallower, Traumatize, Keening Stone, and eventually the new one from ZR), as these synergize with our commander, and allow us to win either through damage or milling. Thank you for your interest in the deck! Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I also have the deck and am thinking about upgrading it. Your curve is a bit off. You want more 3 CMC cards, and cut down on higher CMC costs since you're not in green and ramping is not too easy to achieve. Though you have a decent amount of ramp with the artifacts.

Some things I would consider changing:

• Worn Powerstone -> Commander's Sphere for faster ramp.
• Bonehoard -> Mindcrank for even more milling.
• Latchkey Faerie -> Glen Elendra Liege to pump all your creatures even more.
• Command the Dreadhorde -> Ponder I think there's a good number of cards that let you get stuff from opponents, so more draw is never bad.
• Sure-Footed Infiltrator -> Reconnaissance Mission straight up more draw for the same mana cost.
• Silumgar's Command -> Brainstorm more draw.
• Distant Melody -> Arcane Adaptation turn all your other creatures into rogues, pump them with Anowon, the Ruin Thief and get even more mill!
• Master Thief -> Thieving Skydiver let's you attach equipment for free as well.
• Whirler Rogue -> Thada Adel, Acquisitor for more stealing.
• Fated Return -> Cunning Evasion I think this should work with Zareth San, the Trickster if he becomes blocked and you have an unblocked creature, plus it can save your other creatures.
• Fact or Fiction -> Memory Plunder you should have enough draw with these cards, so casting stuff for free from an opponent's graveyard is awesome.
• Obelisk of Urd -> Adaptive Automaton so you don't have to tap your creatures to cast the Obelisk, plus you get another rogue. If your budget is higher you can go for Metallic Mimic.

I think that's all I can think of, hope it helps :)
