Brineborn Cutthroat
Creature — Merfolk Pirate
Flash (You may cast this spell at any time you could cast an instant.)
Whenever you cast a spell during an opponent's turn, put a +1/+1 counter on Brineborn Cutthroat.

Only 8 Creatures seem very light, i'd cut some The Royal Scions and/or Manamorphose for your choice of Seasoned Pyromancer, Brazen Borrower or the most budget friendly option Brineborn Cutthroat.

Surveillance Drone
Artifact Creature - Thopter
Flying
Other artifacts you control have "whenever you cast a spell, counter target spell or ability targeting this permanent unless its controller pays ".
Whenever Surveillance Drone becomes tapped, scry 1.
To prevent theft and sabotage, every inch of the fairgrounds are surveilled at all times. Protection of the inventions and their creators is simply a matter of having a fast enough response time.
1/1
Most artifact decks tend to usually play at sorcery speed but I like the idea of holding up cantrips or going even further and playing something like Shimmer Myr and/or Brineborn Cutthroat.
Create a card that cares about casting as many different card types as possible

You're going to want to set your format to I believe Pioneer, with the cards you're running at the moment.
Take out Brineborn Cutthroat and Protean Raider. They're not all that good in pirate tribal. Take out Wily Goblin for more card draw like Chart a Course, it's going to be better late game and you're not really trying to ramp into a big finisher a turn early anyways.
If you go 4 Forerunner of the Coalition you can basically go toolbox with a similar list to what you have. Otherwise I would down to 6-8 separate pirate cards.
Imo the best pirates are Spectral Sailor, Dire Fleet Daredevil, Kitesail Freebooter, Ruin Raider, and Admiral Beckett Brass. Probably 3-4 of each of those + 4 Forerunner of the Coalition for toolbox, and 1 of each other pirate you want to include.
Fiery Cannonade is better in the sideboard. Swap in against tokens or small creature aggro.
While not explicitly pirates, Angrath, the Flame-Chained is better than Angrath, Minotaur Pirate. I try to stay away from the planeswalker deck planeswalkers. Although you could run Angrath's Fury and keep the deck like the precon I suppose.

Opt , Unsummon , Pteramander , Riddleform , Tempest Djinn , Brineborn Cutthroat , Brazen Borrower , Curious Obsession are tempo cards. I'd recommend go down to 18-20 lands xD

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.

Blue/Black Beginner Deck

I think this deck is really well-positioned to become a "draw-go" style control deck that plays instants and flash creatures on others' turns. Pteramander , Augur of Bolas , Brineborn Cutthroat , Threnody Singer , Vodalian Arcanist , Naiad of Hidden Coves , Wavebreak Hippocamp , Murmuring Mystic , and all of your instants (save for the likely too slow 4 mana ones) already fit in such an archetype to at least some extent. The horse fish is particularly insane as a card draw engine, and I'd try to get a playset of it if you can. Stacking them to draw even more cards with Nymris, Oona's Trickster , Baral, Chief of Compliance , Slitherwisp , etc. would also make Ominous Seas more viable, possibly even supplemented by draw payoffs like Chasm Skulker and Nadir Kraken .
Some other options that care about flash might be Cunning Nightbonder , Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir , Leyline of Anticipation , Torrential Gearhulk , and Mystical Teachings .
For more generally good instants, Counterspell , Mana Leak , Countersquall , Frantic Search , AEtherize , Vapor Snag , Rewind , Cryptic Command , Opt , and Brainstorm (if you're playing with the legacy banned list) are options of varying budgets and power levels for a control deck.
The first cards I'd cut would be anything with suspend or that applies keyword ability counters. I think some amount of counter manipulation would be needed to maximize the value from such cards (with Clockspinning , Jhoira's Timebug , Paradox Haze , and Nikara, Lair Scavenger being a few things that come to mind). Then, I'd cull any sorceries or creatures that would take up all your mana on your own turn for minimal impact. Dead Revels , Frost Lynx , Alirios, Enraptured , and so on.
Sorry it took me a while to submit this after seeing the deck get posted earlier this week. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck with your build!

Budget UR Delver

My knowledge of budget cards is quite limited but here are some suggestions:
Flame Slash
over
Lava Coil
in the sideboard
Also I'd go up to 16 Creatures with either
Pteramander
or
Brineborn Cutthroat
