Here are a few cards I think you should consider:

Umbral Mantle, it's basically a cheaper Sword of the Paruns

Staff of Domination, it's also Sword of the Paruns but with a side of High Market and Skullclamp

Pashalik Mons, it plays like a Goblin Sharpshooter

Hordeling Outburst offers 3 goblins for 3 mana, better than Goblin Rally at 4 goblins for 5 mana, Goblin War Party even offers 3 goblins for 4 mana with a modular alternative.

Heraldic Banner and Patriar's Seal, colored mana ramp with a side of +1/+0 or untap respectively.

Quest for the Goblin Lord, a cheap and easy way to get +2/+0 on all your creatures. It helps the deck win even when you don't manage infinite.

Goblin Recruiter, tutor for goblins is terrific for the deck and stacks the top of your library letting you add Muxus, Goblin Grandee, you could play Goblin Recruiter and put 7 Goblins on top of your library, draw Muxus and either play him normally or cheat him with Warren Instigator or Goblin Lackey to cheat the top 6 Goblins on your library.

Mirage Mirror, it's more of what you want in the deck.

I would add 4 Legion Loyalist because Goblin Piledriver and Goblin Rabblemaster don't have trample. Also if you are going to add Warren Instigator I'd add Goblin Lackey as well and add Muxus, Goblin Grandee I'm also not understanding why Spikeshot Elder is in here. Seems like alot of Mana for not much of a payout. Hope this helps

Ammonzy I put Grand Warlord Radha in there. I think Aggravated Assault and Insurrection will both be good additions, I just need to find them. Goblin Lackey and Warren Instigator are both fun and could help, i'm just not sure what to switch out for them.

Immolation Shaman for Goblin Fireslinger.

Lava Dart for Warren Instigator.

Long-Term Plans wins games.

WhiteEagle_12 Oh trust me, Shared Animosity is the best card in the deck. I'd run 6 copies if I could. The Frenzied Goblin's ability has been a game winner many times too. And the deck really is best without any slots used on removal cards. It needs the commitment to Aggro and it needs the width from the token makers. I've run it with all of those suggestions you made except Warren Instigator. I wasn't actually looking for suggestions, but I think I will try that one. Thanks!

I would go down to a maximum of 21 mountains, and then replace Frenzied Goblin with either Foundry Street Denizen or Goblin Guide. I would also replace Goblin Instigator with Warren Instigator. It's good damage and better aggro. I would also replace Ib Halfheart with another Goblin Piledriver. Additionally, I would switch out two copies of Shared Animosity for Goblin Grenade, it's just too good to ignore in a goblin deck. From there, I would remove all four of either Dragon Fodder or Krenko's Command to put in two more Goblin Grenades and two Lightning Bolts. With the three slots that you freed up from cutting land, I would add in two more copies of Lightning Bolt and one more copy of whatever you chose to replace Frenzied Goblin.

Im gonna go ahead and list off some goblins that I think will be great additions to your deck, while also trying to keep them mostly cheap to acquire. Goblin Matron, Goblin Warchief, Goblin Trashmaster, Siege-Gang Commander, Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, Goblin Ringleader, Goblin Recruiter, Goblin Instigator, Muxus, Goblin Grandee, Warren Instigator

Token Generation: Dragon Fodder, cheap, creates more goblins. Nuff said. Removal: Chaos Warp. Mono red staple.
Burn: Massive Raid, great way to cut an opponents hp pool down to size or act as a finisher. Also can serve as targeted removal in a pinch. Impact Tremors, I cannot recommend this card enough for your deck! It fits in soo well. Carddraw: Hazoret's Monument also doubles as discount! Endless Atlas card draw for practically no downside. Haster: Fervor, much harder to remove than your goblins that add haste. A solid card for any red aggro deck.

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!
