I also agree with drekonja that Azure Fleet Admiral is better than Ruin Raider. Even if it costs more, it also:

Oh I see. And here I was trying to replace Wheel and Deal with a decent Magic card, while staying true to the popeye theme.
Well, Wheel certainly seems least terrible next to 4x Hullbreacher and...
Monoblue opens up a better Popeye Stompy because you can just play Narset, Parter of Veils and LED+Echo.

I wonder how much better that could be with a few tweaks...
If you're running a maindeck 2B non-Popeye, Opposition Agent seems good, leaving Plague for the SB.

4 Forerunner of the Coalition is tech.
Then you can run toolbox popeyes like Dreamcaller Siren, Hostage Taker, Dire Fleet Poisoner, and maybe even Admiral Beckett Brass (cast off Caverns mana).
