The downside of Goblin Warrens is that you have to sacrifice two goblins, and auntie helps mitigate that downside. Maybe there’s something in there to work with? It’s good to work backwards that way…

Goblin Warrens, Reflecting Mirror, and Armor Thrull are dead-on perfect. Gauntlets of Chaos fits, I think--it's best to interpret it as your right hand and someone else's right hand. Subdue is also up there. Most of the others are strong honorable mentions.
I don't want to discount your work (and thank you so much for putting in the time and effort!), but if the criteria get too loose, there's a bunch of cards that can be interpreted as some kind of first-person perspective, with the viewer at an odd angle to the action. Like Life Chisel, I'm pretty sure Knife Dude is standing just in front and to the right of the viewer. That's why I'm giving preference to visible hands coming for the lower corners--the best interpretation is that the viewer is part of the action.

@legendofa I think I have a better grasp on what you’re looking for now. I don’t want to spam the deck page, so I’ll share some potential candidates for the 1st person perspective compilation here.
These are a few that I don’t think qualify, but I’ll list them here anyway just in case:
•Subdue No hands, but definitely a spear coming in from F.P.P.
•Amulet of Kroog If it’s someone looking in a mirror, the card qualifies. Otherwise it’s just a view of someone else holding the amulet.
•Urza's Chalice Probably isn’t, but definitely could be someone looking at a cup they’re holding in their own hand.
•Energy Tap hand coming in, but the angle would be difficult/painful to replicate in first person.
•Venom same with this one. Hurts the wrist, but can be forced.
•Gauntlets of Chaos Not really sure what’s going on here. Bottom right gauntlet is F.P.P. accurate, but the upper left gauntlet coming in looks to be a second right hand. Mistake? Born with two right hands? You make the call.
•Life Chisel 99.999% sure it’s just a view of someone else’s arm/hand.
•Ring of Immortals This one might qualify. Looking at one’s own hand in that manner is odd, but can be done.
•Goblin Warrens That bottom right arm being gnawed on looks like it’s still attached to some poor sap.
The following should definitely qualify, unless I’m misunderstanding the criteria.

Maybe because I’m an Old(tm), I’m inclined to play mono-colored decks. Goblins were my first real favorite, especially with enchantments like Goblin Warrens and the mighty Goblin Shrine! I love the art and the massive downsides that come with it. In my mind, in order to be considered one of the great cards it’s got to have a good balance of strengths and weaknesses; Goblin Shrine is a great example of that sort of structure.

Ripwater: sdidonato is exactly right, saccing mountains is really only for when you make your final big move. 90% of the games I win aren't even through combat, they are through the ETB and sac effects either all at once, or by grinding everyone down.
The addition of Skirk Fire Marshal and Massive Raid on top of the core of Goblin War Strike , Impact Tremors , and Purphoros, God of the Forge really help to bring down several people a turn, which is especially important when you go all in on saccing your mountains.
Crucible is still a strong play, but I like to use it either slowly, or all at once with the amazing new Nahiri's Lithoforming . I still haven't gotten it off, but those two plus Valakut Exploration seem like a dream combo. Also Lithoforming/Crucible into Acidic Soil / Price of Progress and recovering all your lands is really strong and an absolute blast.
I think the the biggest thing that a lot of us that have some variation of the current deck would agree on is that one of its biggest strengths is that you just form a strat depending on what you draw, which is absolute must with mono-red because you have such a poor ability to fetch or tutor compared to other colors. Trying to build a precise combo sets you up for being slow and getting disrupted, so we just don't really do it.
It is also flexible enough to take it a different route and go infinite goblins/mana with things like Mana Echoes , Goblin Warrens , and the like, but as long as Ib is your commander you are a lot harder predict.

paytongamer: In the last several revisions of the deck since I've added Goblin War Drums the Menace hasn't really been impactful because I am winning through something else that uses the Goblins as fuel. Along the same lines I barely get to use Goblin King's evasion, but he has a higher impact potential. It's rare that the damage being dealt by an unblocked Goblin is actually killing someone, it's more likely the Impact Tremors, Raid Bombardment, or Repercussion is doing it.
This is even more the case now with the recent additions of Skirk Fire Marshal, Valakut Exploration, and Massive Raid. I think if the deck focused more on Krenko, big mana with Goblin Warrens, and prioritized combat step damage, then Goblin War Drums becomes much more impactful. That has definitely been this deck at multiple times since I first built it, which just goes to show how flexible Ib is that you can tailor the deck to focus on so many different styles of play.
DBCooper: Shenanigans is good, especially because it can be tutored like any Goblin creature can, and can be freecast off of everything except Muxus, but I think the larger the table gets the less effective Shenanigans is. The same deck I was describing to paytongamer would do well with Shenanigans, a deck that just makes an obscene amount of tokens so it doesn't really matter than you are only hitting one player at a time because you have 250 Goblins to feed into it.

My spoilers in the comment above arnt working for me so im trying something different. "If you want to sift through some cards you can look at each section, but I would recommend just looking at the first grouping to start with, as I went a bit too far with the other lists. Those lists are fine to just look at ideas or "good cards" but there are far too many to call them suggestions.
Headtext for first 3 entries. Show
Enters tapped but sac's for free Show
Doesn't enter tapped, cost mana to sac Show
The expensive ones Show
Cards that do similar but arnt lands Show
Adding to the goboi theme Show
