Replacing the swashburglar with the 1 mana spell to discover a card from your opponents, especially against druid, I had a few time face them and using the spell to discover the “twig of the world tree”.
You are trying to substitute the single best card in standard and most important card in aggro/tempo of all time. Patches there is only one. Simplu put; if you don’t wanna craft him (where have you been the last 2 years? lol), don’t play these kinds of decks. Any non-control/combo is not worth it without Patches. I’d recommend crafting Cubelock, it won’t loose much after rotation and looks very promising.
You can play Argent Squires (or Dire Moles, these might be even better) and Cold Bloods instead of the 1 mana pirates; and Tar Creepers or Vicious Fledglings instead of Captains (taunts a safer choice, cold blood’ed flappy birds can win some games here or there if opponent doesn’t have the answer); and whatever you want instead of Patches, as long as it makes sense in the deck.
As long as you understand that this isn’t optimal and adjust your expectations accordingly. On the bright side, at least you won’t be vulnerable to golakka tech that some smartasses run even on ladder…

Any substitute for the lich king ? What is his role in this deck, I dont really see.
Cobalt Scalebane 100%
Oh yeah obviously. I didn’t see he was’t there

any replacement for the whole pirate package? dont have patches and im not fond of crafting him for 3 months before rotation
Its worth it.
No, not for this type of deck.
Every deck needs corridors and patches..
