This looks fun, good job. As mtobin said, Fractured Identity can't be in here. I assume you got a name mixed up?

Considering you're playing 20 legendary creatures besides your commander, Thalia's Lancers might be a useful inclusion. With all these tokens, Skullclamp would be great.

Species Specialist doesn't seem to be female, but is veeery powerful here.

Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire and Lurrus of the Dream-Den both seem great additions. Ashnod's Altar is great for aristrocrat decks. Oh, and Smothering Abomination, Species Specialist and Grim Haruspex are powerful card draw options.

Hey lobsternips! Thought I'd jump in and give you my take on what you've got going on. Your noncreature spells look fantastic, not much I would take out, but if you can find a way to fit in some creature recursion in Rise of the Dark Realms or Thrilling Encore with your mass creature destruction in dictate or Killing Wave . Also bounce-type effects like Conjurer's Closet could make use of your etb effects, you'd definitely see some usefulness there. The only problem I see with this deck is its SUPER heavy into red, there are some non-red Goblins out there, but you'd basically be playing a Red deck splashing white and black for support. However, Goblins are funny and mean just like Negan.

Thoughts

As for creatures, I love what you're doing. Lots of synergy, and I love the Goblin tribal theme. Also, love the Kiki-Jiki inclusion, plus with snoop you sorta just win.

Cuts? Show

The only things I would take out are:

• Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin : Because he goes tall, not wide like the rest of your board. Additionally, it takes him a second to really get going, multiple turns/multiple combats.

• Goblin Instigator : Only because he's two 1/1s for 2 mana. Yeah, thats okay. But there are better options out there

Creature Suggestions Show

• Goblin Recruiter : Very good for Goblin decks, worth an inclusion in my opinion.

• Goblin Chirurgeon : Decent if you have enough Goblins in play. Protects your board from most board wipes.

• Warren Instigator : Very good for this deck, basically free cast your Goblins when he connects.

• Wort, Boggart Auntie : Really nice built in recursion on a creature. Would work really well considering the gameplan you have.

• Goblin Sledder : You ever want to ride a Goblin?

• Species Specialist : Nice little inclusion to draw your whole deck when the time comes.

• Munitions Expert : Kaboom am I right?

• Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician : Cheeky little Goblin man. Makes your 1/1s explode when they're blocked.

Goblin Tribal spells Show

• Boggart Birth Rite : Decent little recursion spell.
• Fodder Launch : Synergystic kill spell for Negan, Goblins and making your opponent mad.
• Warren Weirding : Good if you target yourself, and also good if you target your opponents.
• Boggart Shenanigans : Targets players and walkers. Very good when you're ready to wipe your own board.
• Brightstone Ritual : Not really a tribal spell, but very VERY good for mana ramp. Would work wonders with Goblin Offensive .
• Last-Ditch Effort : Funny card, fitting art. Killer with Dictate of Erebos .

Utility Cards Show

• Throne of the God-Pharaoh : If you're going wide, this is a fantastic inclusion. Swing in at everyone and then have them all lose a TON of life.
• Vault of the Archangel : I love Behind the Scenes so much. Very good inclusion. But what if they had Deathtouch and Lifelink for basically the same cost? Worth thinking about lol
• Talisman of Hierarchy : To complete your Talisman set!

Hope I helped some, I probably didn't seeing as I gave more inclusion suggestions rather than cuts. If you decide on doing one thing like "Go Wide" or "Go Tall", adjust your cards to reflect that. Aside from that good luck on your deckbuilding!
