I built this because its hilarious. Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind is so used to having decks constructed around his draw ability that its a serious blow his ego to be this badly sidelined. Poor insulted dragon; stuck babysitting all the goblins!

The main premise of this deck is to use blue untap and battlefield re-entry mechanics on red goblins. Krenko, Mob Boss and Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker are good examples of abuse of the former and Goblin Matron and Goblin Recruiter of the latter.

I can still use Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind's in conjunction with the goblins with cards like Slate of Ancestry, Coastal Piracy and Distant Melody .

Feedback would be appreciated- comment and advise...
