Maindeck Changes:
-1 Druid of the Cowl ; +1 Kraul Harpooner
-3 Sailor of Means ; +3 Thief of Sanity
-1 Ravenous Chupacabra ; +1 Golgari Findbroker
-1 Dream Eater ; +1 Izoni, Thousand-Eyed
Sideboard Changes:
-1 Ritual of Soot ; +1 Plague Mare
-1 Moment of Craving ; +1 Thought Erasure
-1 Deathgorge Scavenger ; +1 Carnage Tyrant

Druid of the Cowl was often boarded out and doesn't seem particularly impressive when drawn. Kraul Harpooner is a tutorable solution to Curious Obsession decks and random annoying flying creatures.
Sailor of Means and its treasure appeared to be completely unimpressive. Thief of Sanity was a must-kill threat.
Ravenous Chupacabra is fantastic, but something needed to be removed for a 4cmc tutor target that's good on a mostly empty board.
Dream Eater was unimpressive and was often boarded out. Izoni is a trial card that should break board stalls against aggro and midrange as well as rebuild against control.

Ritual of Soot went unused. Plague Mare is being tested as a tutorable, albeit very conditional, sweeper.
Moment of Craving is unlikely to be drawn as a one-of and does not make for much of an anti-aggro package. A third Thought Erasure shores up the anti-control package instead.
Deathgorge Scavenger is unimpressive as a one-of even as tutorable, albeit soft, graveyard hate. Carnage Tyrant seemed to overperform, although it's possible that running two is overkill.

I am not confident about the sideboard changes. It is probable that more tech against aggro is actually necessary, especially with a Chupacabra traded for a Findbroker maindeck. 2-3 total copies of Moment of Craving, Plague Mare, Cry of the Carnarium, and/or Ritual of Soot could be retained as a sideboard package.
