Have you thought about running Fraying Sanity in here? It seems like it would be a good fit.

Almost Infinite Vampire Drain

Bontu's Monument on the field. Combo pieces are Oathsworn Vampire + Pitiless Plunderer + (Sack outlet - Yahenni, Undying Partisan is probably best, but Defiant Salvager works too).

- Cast Oathsworn Vampire with PP, Bontu's Monument, and your sack outlet already on the field.
- OV causes BMon to trigger, and you gain a life.
- Sack OV to Yahenni or Salvager, which triggers Pitiless Plunderer to create a treasure token.
- Sacrifice the treasure token for a black mana, and then use that black mana to cast Oathsworn Vampire from your graveyard (because of the reduced mana cost that BMon creates).
- This triggers BMon which drains your opponent for one life.
- Repeat as many times as necessary to drain all their life.

And voila! Nearly infinite vampire drain.

The rest of the deck is to help get you to the combo pieces.

I think what the deck might need is a definite direction. Right now there are a lot of cards that kinda lend themselves better to different approaches than one another. How do you see the deck winning? Is it a specific combo or is more aggro'y with the servos or you wanna go midrange/control?  What's your win condition?

Starter GREEN Creature Deck - for teaching beginners

I thought it might be fun to put together a really basic, inexpensive deck for each of the main colors. Something you could throw together and just give a brand new player or your kid or your kid's friend who was interested in magic. What do you guys think of this as a beginner green deck?

I wanted something that would be super cheap to put together that you could use to show someone some of the basic mechanics of the game. So creatures, simple buffs, removal, just a little taste of everything without being overwhelmingly complicated.

And the whole deck is under $10.

For an aggro'y deck, have you thought about using Vicious Conquistador instead of the one drop flyers? The flyers have evasion, but to use their boosting ability you can't use them for combat which makes their evasion quality less helpful in a "go get some" kind of deck. Likewise, Twilight Prophet might be a good alternative for Bishop of the Bloodstained. It comes out one mana sooner, it's got flying, a big back end (helpful against - counter removal), and it's secondary effect is off the chain.

Would you run it in place of the Live Fast? Less draw, more removal?

The Anointed Procession of Gruesome Vampires

Build the field as wide as possible, use Heroic Intervention to survive board wipes and removal, then finish them with Gruesome Fate and Bishop of the Bloodstained.

Other non-creature cards you may want to consider that work with the discard mechanic you're going for:
Lay Bare the Heart, Doomfall, Arterial Flow, Mind Rot, and Unburden. Doomfall is really good because you can either take something from their hand or make them sacrifice a creature. Creature removal is always a good idea.

I think Razaketh's Rite is too high cost mana wise for what it does for you. I think you'd be a lot better off spending that mana on another two The Scorpion God and two Cut // Ribbons.

Creaturewise, Dreamstealer is really good. I'd run four of those. Deadeye Tracker might be another fun one for you, and it fits with your pirates.

How do you feel like Shapers of Nature or Hadana's Climb would fit?

Don't forget about Yahenni, Undying Partisan and Gifted Aetherborn as well.
