Instant/Sorcery-oriented non-beatdown goblin tribal, where you use creature quantity as a catalyst, most notably in the case of Peer Pressure, which lets you steal all creatures permanently when combined with Standardize or Insurrection + Arcane Adaptation (I think the latter works because Peer Pressure makes you their permanent controller when Insurrection runs out).

The cards Seismic Spike, Strip Mine, Blood Sun, Pillage fill the role of hating on Homeward Path since that could otherwise be troublesome for the titular janky combo.

Thrummingbird and Tezzeret's Gambit gives some counters when Mizzix isn't feeling up to it (also, Primal Amulet  ; I kinda wish I had included more counter-oritented cards).

Finishers include e.g. Comet Storm (with sufficient mana/cost reduction), Gempalm Incinerator + Mogg Maniac and Mob Justice + Radiate + Ali from Cairo.

I'm not very familiar with spellslinging so feedback would be appreciated, esp on other ways to utilize the creatures without attacking/sacing. Not sure about the mana base either since I usually do 3 colors; for better optimization some janky-but-fun cards could certainly be removed for e.g. more lands (I'm looking at you, Hunted Phantasm).

Maybebord category comments

Sacing: Since the deck revolves around building up a swarm I'm kinda reluctant to include these (and I don't think I have enough support for Goblin Warrens to be efficient).

Artifact shenanigans: I had an idea about adding an artifact saccing subtheme, using stuff like Kuldotha Rebirth, Genesis Chamber (bonus: more honorary goblins to steal!) and Throne of Geth to fuel the casting, but I couldn't find enough room at the end of the day. Might do a separate deck involving this category somehow.

Non-spell-oriented: Mostly beatdown-oriented cards here which I've considered; I didn't want to distract from the main theme, but Fling + Reckless One could have bridged the two I guess. There's also some good but a bit too expensive creature (read: non-nonpermanent) cards here like Chancellor of the Forge.

Off-color: Non-Izzet stuff. I considered expanding the colors but I didn't like losing Mizzix as a commander. Still, would have been nice to have e.g. Wort, the Raidmother.
