You have the payoff but too few ways to activate it.
Look for Tinker's Tote.
Tote supplies three untapped permanents. Two can pay Caparocti’s attack trigger while other creatures keep attacking.
Your synergy is already working but you keep falling behind.

Unstable Glyphbridge 3WWA board reset that can later craft into a large flyer. Be deliberate about which small creature each player keeps.
Bonehoard Dracosaur 3RRAn evasive threat that supplies extra cards and material each upkeep. Keep early defense and enough red sources for double red.
Breeches, Eager Pillager 2RAttack with Pirates to gain Treasure, remove a blocker or use an extra card. Each mode is available once per turn, so several Pirates unlock more choices.
Magmatic Galleon 3RRRemoval and a large Vehicle in one card. Keep creatures available to crew it; the damage trigger happens even before it becomes a creature.17Lands Premier Draft ↗ · Nov 9–Dec 25, 2023 · 100-instance minimum
