Looking for Goblins that don't just go in aggro, bearing in mind I have like 2 slots to work with in Red.
I've recently added Boggart Mischief to support Lich Knight's Conquest (Three Bargains in one) and enchantment infiniflicker decks (Wincon that blocks twice) to my complex board state, combo-heavy 360. I don't want to bait people into drafting a Goblins deck that doesn't exist. Help!
The goblins I currently cube:
Putrid Goblin (Zombie tribal, Persist combo)
Warren Soultrader (Sac outlet, acceleration, Gravecrawler+Aetherflux combo)
Guttersnipe (Guess)
Twinshot Sniper (Artifact synergies, discard synergies, removal density)
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker (Guess)
Blast from the Past (Madness, cycling, flashback)
Goblin Surprise (Aggro, tokens/mass polymorph)
Vial Smasher, the Fierce (Fun)
Wort, the Raidmother (Fun)
Goblin Electromancer (Storm, prowess)
Plus a few changelings:
Flock Impostor
Orvar, the All-Form
Formless Genesis
Stalactite Dagger
My shortlist at the moment is
Skirk Prospector (Speculative, assumes I can find lots of room or a cool goblin combo that needs it)
Ardoz, Cobbler of War (Supports aggro, forms a bridge to prowess-y decks with Harmonic Prodigy)
Fugitive Codebreaker (Discard matters, goes with Wort and Electromancer as 'Goblin that cares about spells'. EW disguise. Neither a wizard nor shaman >:C)
Molten-Core Maestro (Goes with Wort and Electromancer as 'Goblin that cares about spells'. Neither a wizard nor shaman >:C)
Fable of the Mirror-Breaker (Already have Kiki. I like the token it makes.)
Goblinslide (Astral Slide in white. Goblinslide in red. This is what we call symmetry!)
Empty the Warrens (If I run Skirk Prospector and this maybe I can find a cool combo deck that benefits from Boggart Mischief)
There have to be better options, right? There are like 33,000 magic cards, surely the perfect goblin support exists

I am assuming you’ve seen the new 2 drop goblin from the Hobbit. If not, that’s slot #1 easy in my books (won’t post it here for spoiler reasons.
Since you have Putrid Goblin, Skirk Prospector is a sacrifice outlet for Persist combo (works with Redcap too) and a strong mana engine with the right density of effects.
Empty the Warren would be another strong choice providing you have the environment for storm.
Put all three together (+
Soultrader) and you have a unique creature combo deck. These are some of the adds I’m considering for my own lists, so definitely biased!

Thanks for pointing out the Hobbit goblin - I don't play UB cards as a general rule, so had no idea it existed, but that one's inoffensively Magic-y enough that I'm genuinely interested in trying it. It and the Prospector seems like the go, and I can probably find room for Empty the Warrens as well.
