Exile the top three cards of your library. You may play those cards this turn. At the beginning of the next end step, if any of those cards remain exiled, put them into your graveyard, then create a 0/1 colourless Eldrazi Spawn creature token for each card put into your graveyard this way. Those tokens have "Sacrifice this creature: Add {C}."

Have you tried Glimpse the Impossible yet? It gives you the opportunity to find key cards easier, while also filling your board with creatures. They're not goblins, but Goblin Bushwhacker doesn't judge. Plus, they can act as mana which imo the deck needs.

My only concern with the card is 3 mana is a lot so it's going to be awkward to cast, and in most cases hard to cast anything off-of

Disclaimer: While some of the following statements might seem like they're meant to be objectively true, they are in fact a subjective opinion based on my design philosophy

I feel like some cards in this deck are a trap.

• Faithless Looting - As wallisface mentioned before, this is pure card disadvantage. You don't gain anything by just digging and here's why. This deck wants to be as economical with its cards as possible, since you want your cards to either net goblins, net mana or net cards as efficiently as possible in order for you to keep up with opponent's speed. You are spending 1 (4) mana to see 2 (4) cards, but you also discard 3 (5) cards in the process and they don't even do anything in the GY. If you want to stay in blue Brainstorm or the likes might serve you much better.

• Springleaf Drum - So this one fixes your colors, will ramp some, and can sac to Kuldotha Rebirth. But, imho, this is only good on paper. Your deck has a number of sequencing issues, and this is one of them. Playing it early means you likely have to wait to use it. You need to have played goblin producing spells by the time you want to tap it, but you also likely want to sac this to Kuldotha Rebirth over a land. At the same time tapping that goblin is competing with Shared Discovery. If you draw it later, or when you're actually going off, this is kind of awkward too, because it will only ever fix that one mana pip on the same turn and that's the best case scenario. Now you might say, 'but hey, I'm still sacing this to make 3 goblins', now we back to card economics. All of a sudden your 3 goblins cost 2 mana and 2 cards.

• Distant Melody. Please put the gun down xD. This card can only ever shine when you're already ahead imho, especially the way this deck is set up. It's only ever good when it draws at least 4 cards, but since this is a core RED deck, it will also draw some of your infrastructure cards that will simply force you to delay your plan. This card is awesome when it can draw like 7, but at the time it would/could, you'd be better of casting some kind of finishing spell.

• Manamorphose. I have taken this card out of every deck I made that had it because I always realized it was never worth the slot (*unless you are playing a deck that has Goblin Electromancer clones and Morphose becomes a ramp spell). Yes, it cycles for free. But ultimately, this is one of your infrastructure cards that you only need because you play U

If I were you I'd consider an alternative way to build the deck in mono R and see what you end up with. That way, you need less infrastructure cards of a certain type, and will naturally draw into combo cards more often, without needing to draw 7 from a 4 mana off color spell.

The best thing you could possibly sac to Rebirth are expendabe Artifacts. Experimental Synthesizer is the best thing for that. (And you might want to look out for more, since IF you go mono R you will lose the ability to sac the blue lands, because you will probably want them out of the deck, but maybe not... but sacing lands to Rebirth feels wrong as well most of the time)

A 1-to-1 replacement for your blue draw spells is tricky. Glimpse the Impossible could be a powerhouse in your deck, tho. It draws cards, if you can't go off that turn or can't cast the cards it becomes ramp in the form of creatures, which in turn power up Battle Hymn (maybe up this to 4 copies as well). Consider also adding Wrenn's Resolve and/or Reckless Impulse, yes, those are not 'draw 3 or more' but they don't require much setup and you can reliably cast them even when you're not stabilized yet.

This would be my draft of this, leaving as much intact as possible, and even leaving the U artifact lands ... just to have sth to look at mono r goblin combo
