I'm trying to put together a somewhat pirate-themed deck, while still putting some good cards in it. What is here is just a tentative list at the moment, and I'd love to get some feedback or suggestions on decent "pirate-y" cards to put in.
Spelljack is good and sort of on theme, in that you're "stealing" their spell.
You don't have too many reset buttons. Things like Damnation, Oblivion Stone are worth thinking about.
Seeing all the Leviathans and Krakens almost makes me think you should shoehorn in Quest for Ula's Temple. Although that's probably just crazy talk, you'd get bonus points if you could pull it off.

Most recently looking at Morinfen!
I like the deck idea because this is what EDH should be about. A great theme and not a bunch of OP cards, except for Sorin, he's just one of the lamers in EDH. There are also Pirate ship, Ghost ship and Merchant ship (In theme), even though they are not very good. Grozoth is also one that fits as does Jokulmorder, Leviathon and Thing from the Deep. Great design!
This is quite the interesting theme. I LOVE it. You should get one of your friends to make a ninja-themed deck (shouldn't be too hard), to get a Pirates vs. Ninja thing going.
Not sure if it fits, but you could add Dark Depths and have a Marit Lage token handy for flavor.
You could always run Rishadan Port...just for flavor. :-p But, I would definately try to fit in Plague Wind (hey, a ship's gotta sail, right?) and Damnation...after all, who REALLY believes that a Pirate ISN'T Damned?
Empress Galina for Legend stealing Rishadan Pawnshop great with Galina, and Legacy's Allure thievery with treasure counters War Tax best pirate flavor text ever. effect's not bad either. Blatant Thievery because pirates lack subtlety, and this card is just redonkulous in multiplayer. Piracy Obviously. Opportunity but it has to be 7th edition, another flavor text gem. Piracy Charm flavorful, toolboxy, sorta decent. maybe.
