To go along with my UB Tempo Pirates - RIX Standard, I've decided to try and make an aggro version of Pirates, because there are a ton of great Red pirates that we can't make use of in our tempo version. The deck is fairly straight forward, swing as quickly as you can with your pirates and attempt to go wider than your opponent.

We play a low to the ground aggro, with some evasion in the form of Kitesail Freebooter, Kari Zev, Skyship Raider, and a unique combat trick in Dire Fleet Poisoner to mess with our opponent's mind. Fatal Push and Lightning Strike make appearances here as they're two of the best removal spells in Standard.

Sideboard brings along some extra removal, the Pirateclasm known as Fiery Cannonade, and some extra power.
