Brass Pirates Deck help

So I have this deck, Brass's Band of Booty-Seeking Buccaneers. I made it a few days ago just with some cards I had on hand, but it struggles pretty bad.
It's tough to get pirates through my opponents' creatures, and I've had trouble geting enough cards in my hand late game. I reckon I could find some good permanents to help out with card draw, but I couldn't tell you what cards I might put in to keep my creatures from being blocked.
I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Keeper of Keys is a nice one that I rarely hear mentioned. Gives the evasion you want with extra card draw (if you can keep the monarch)

Wow thanks a bunch! If I were to run some of the non-pirate creatures you mentioned like Thassa, God of the Sea, Wonder etc. I might have to run some things like Arcane Adaptation, if there are that many cards that can change my creatures' types. Teleportal has been on the aquire list for a long time, and I might just cave and order it online.

And a cheap one, at that. Keeping the monarch shouldn't be a huge problem if I can solve my evasion issue.

A fine combo! I'm not entirely sure if I can pull it off reliably though. Perhaps I could run Mastermind's Acquisition along with Diabolic Tutor and some other tutor cards to get my hands on the combo more effectively, but it would be tough.
Thanks for the suggestions all! I should have mentioned that I'm trying to keep the mana curve of the deck relatively low (peaking at 4), but honestly I might just cave and get some mana ramp.

It's been a little bit, and I've converted the deck into the brawl format: Yo Ho and a Bottle of Brawl. Most of the cards were already in standard and the deck no longer struggles from being unfocused. It's the first brawl deck I've made, and I have to say the format is fantastic. Thanks for the help again folks! :)

Thassa, God of the Sea will let you pay 1U for each creature to make them unblockable.
You could also try cards that give all your creatures flying, fear, or protection. Cards like Akroma's Memorial, Eldrazi Monument, Archetype of Imagination, Frostwind Invoker, Levitation, Wonder, Intimidation, and Vela the Night-Clad.
Torrent Elemental, Blustersquall, and Teleportal could work too.
