Jade Golems are extremely powerful. This deck is competitive with the faster playing decks but still has the reach to take on control. Although I haven't had a huge game sample size so far, I have beaten pirate warrior, dragon priest, jade druid, and all sorts of reno.
Some casual play and brand new season low ladder as well - will update
The deck plays like most tempo decks rather than using combos like most current rogue decks. If somehow they survive until you play N'Zoth, the Corruptor, don't worry-- there is no way they come back from that.
As usual more up votes, more detail AND VIDS!

General mulligan:
Keep Backstab, Eviscerate, Jade Shuriken, Jade Swarmer, Undercity Huckster. Generally you don't keep copies.
IF you have Jade Swarmer or Undercity Huckster keep Unearthed Raptor.
IF you have Backstab or you are going second and do not have Jade Shuriken then keep SI:7 Agent.
Consider keeping Shadow Strike and Barnes in control match ups. In aggro match ups you can keep double copies of Jade Swarmer. If going second you can also keep double copies of Eviscerate or Jade Shuriken.
Detailed mulligan:
I added more detail above. Follow the General mulligan but know the meta. Here's what's currently popular:
Aggro: Warrior, Hunter, Paladin and sometimes count Rogue
Tempo/Mid-range: Rogue, Shaman and sometimes Druid and Mage
Control: Warlock, Druid, Mage, Priest and rarely Warrior
The Big Three Subs
Why no Swashburglars?
The random card isn't that great most of the time. Undercity Huckster does the same job but also has N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Unearthed Raptor synergy. Even though the deck is tempo/mid-range you still don't want to top deck Swashburglar past your initial mulligan. And besides, we aren't running Patches the Pirate.
No Gang Up? No Shadowcaster?
These cards have the same issue as Brann Bronzebeard (even though we're running him) in that they're just too slow for the meta as is. Right now without N'Zoth, the Corruptor you can get up to an 11/11 Jade Golem while keeping up with the faster decks in the process. Why would you want to slow down your tempo to gain more late game that you don't need?
When I didn't have Aya Blackpaw I ran Cairne Bloodhoof. 95% of the time this will be a disadvantage and I suggest crafting Aya Blackpaw if you can afford her. She is definitely worth the dust and was my first Gadgetzan legendary craft.
All comments welcomed and appreciated. Any questions feel free to comment below and I will get back to you when I can, usually within 24 hours.
Any replacement for Rag?
Maybe Cairne Bloodhoof but Ragnaros the Firelord is pretty huge with Barnes and is also very worth crafting as he's one of the best legendaries. I don't feel like he's essential to the deck but he definitely helps a lot.
Infested Tauren works wonders in this meta and is a super cheap replacement. Shadowcaster might work in his spot to get another fat jade or two out.
Nice Deck. I`m playing with Cairne too and he is only a downfall against really fast decks. Otherwise he helps me contesting the board nearly as good as Aya.
Yeah Cairne has his own advantages, mainly being an actual good turn 6 drop. Especially if you hadn't play Golem cards yet.
