So make a lot of pirates that are elusive and sneak in for damage right?

[DelverMage]

That is one method.

Going over, going through, and going around are all options here.

Being that flexible and nimble means there is always a delicate board state.

If the battlefield is not controlled, this deck loses quickly.

[G. Moto]

so using spells that flicker your stuff, making your creatures unblockable, giving them deathtouch, maybe flying. First strike is nice and perhaps some good burn spells to clear the board. I gotcha. So what changes or improvements are you looking to make to this build?

[DelverMage]

I have this tendency to play highly interactive and flexible decks. Right now I am just playing with Pirates to explore the possibilities. 
There are three main ways you can play Pirate tribal in Ixalan; R/B aggro style, R/B/U midrange, and U/B Control.

I went from playing with a 3 color pirate concept, using Admiral Beckett Brass when Ixalan came out, to trying to tune to one of the 3 core builds but I wanted to keep an aggro stance, which is why it is a fairly low cost spell list.
I certainly don't think I am there yet, but I have not tested the latest changes.

So far the deck seems to play out ok, but it struggles to finish off the opponent.  I have added in 3 more tribal boosters, and another sweeper in the sideboard to try out. 
I am not convinced that I will be pushing this deck much further anyway before I try both of the other two build types. 

I have seen a lot of interesting decks that twist on that.  I have seen a U/B Control that had all flyers recently, which inspired my latest changes.

[G. Moto]

What about U/R, would that be more of a tempo build?

[DelverMage]

I have built one already.  It works pretty good too, but suffers the same problem.
