Craeter Oh hey dude!! I do have a couple of conditional draws (Sygg, River Cutthroat, Nashi, Searcher in the Dark, Deadeye Tracker), but something more reliable couldn't hurt. Thanks for pointing it out!

Echoing wallisface, budget aggro lives or dies by casting 1 mana spells as fast as possible.

If you move to straight rakdos colours, you lose only Daring Saboteur and Frantic Inventory , while your mana becomes a lot more reliable.

With the land set here, I'd go so far as to run almost entirely 1 colour with splashes for higher cmc spells.

A few options; Deadeye Tracker + Grasping Scoundrel + Outcast with a focus on 1 and 2 mana black spells - Kitesail Freebooter in particular is good in a black shell with other sources of discard.

Rigging Runner + Daring Buccaneer + Fanatical Firebrand will work well with a focus on fast damage partucularly spells that deal direct damage and like creatures. I'd look at Captain Ripley Vance and the budget staple Curse of Stalked Prey alongside sources of evasion.

Blue as a primary colour has some neat options if you want to go for a more instant-speed tempo game - Siren Stormtamer , Spectral Sailor , & Brineborn Cutthroat , while opening up sideboard tricks like Crafty Cutpurse and cheap past staples like Mana Leak .

There are a few notable pirates to build combos around - Skyship Plunderer , Timestream Navigator , but they don't have a coherent theme which will make builds awkward.

Artatras Oh good lord; I confused Mystic Remora with Deadeye Tracker , a completely different advantage-accruing 1 drop I was testing out.

Excuse me while I go find a Drowned Catacomb to lay face-down in for awhile.

I think you can find better cards than a 1/1 deathtouch creature for . Maybe even Deadeye Tracker but it might not be worth it.

If you like that slot though there are at least three strictly better cards I can think of right now, Vampire of the Dire Moon, Foulmire Knight, and Ruthless Ripper.

Raven's Crime is middling, Leechridden Swamp is bad, and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx dosen't have anything to ramp into.

You don't have much maindeck creature removal (for dorks, creatures relevant to combos etc.), I would reccomend Bloodchief's Thirst as it can also answer planeswalkers and is only 1 mana without kicker.

Your sideboard could use some work too, while I understand that you want to build devotion, Contaminated Ground and Withered Wretch aren't amazing at what they do. I guess I never have seen contaminated ground and its pretty cheap so you could test it and see how it does, but I would reccomend playing cards like Relic of Progenitus or Grafdigger's Cage over wretch in every case but maybe tribal zombies.

I think your right about Deadeye Tracker and I cut two for two Seekers' Squire.

Deadeye Tracker is versatile, but it is pretty slow and mana intensive for a format like modern; would you consider replacing it with something like a Seekers' Squire?"

Ha, I like the consistency to theme with your sideboard. I think Deadeye Tracker, Kitesail Freebooter, and Dire Fleet Daredevil would be very good additions to it that still go with the pirate motif, though. I'd also personally replace the Dire Fleet Neckbreakers with Ruin Raider or more Fell Flagships to make your deck even more grindy and durable to control!
