Gotreck Aloha, thanks for commenting. I prefer not to run many sorceries and/or instants because that's less targets for my tutors like Goblin Matron, Goblin Recruiter, Moggcatcher, and Imperial Recruiter. I also get to recur them again with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Feldon of the Third Path, and Mimic Vat. Plus I have many goblin token producing creatures like Beetleback Chief, Krenko, Mob Boss, Mogg War Marshal, Siege-Gang Commander. And they are targetable with the majority of the tutors and also recurable since they're creatures. I do believe in the value of being able to tutor things and Red really isn't strong with it so we have to make do with what we have.
For your Ogre Battledriver, Door of Destinies and Herald’s Horn suggestions I do already have a set of lords like Goblin Chieftain, Goblin Warchief, Goblin King, and the artifact Coat of Arms. I also have Ruby Medallion, Hazoret's Monument, and Goblin Warchief for cost reduction. I'm not too worried really about bolstering my goblins with +1/+1 effects since I barely need to attack.
I used to run Mogg Infestation. It really is a great finisher. But with my meta I needed to have more reliable board wipes, hence Blasphemous Act. Sometimes I'll have this sitting in my hand when I need to wipe the board and it'll be useless. If I can find room I'll run it again but the deck runs fine without it; at least in my meta.
I kind of looks like we have the same priorities but just different methods of execution. It's always nice to meet a fellow Purphoros, God of the Forge player. Thanks to you I may to a write-up for this deck.

Have you considered Neheb, the Eternal? Crazy ramp with an active Purphoros, and goes infinite pretty easily with Aggravated Assault. Might be worth testing out!

TheNocholas, that's the card I was trying to remember! I really want to try it out. It definitely would help in the draw aspect. Even if my average CMC is low I could probably still hit something.

If you run it and have the ability Madblind Mountain and/or Soldier of Fortune are good cards to run, that way if you move a wincon card to the bottom you can try to shuffle it back in.

TheNocholas, yup I have a Madblind Mountain and Sensei's Divining Top for just that reason or if I don't like what cards are coming next. Thanks for the suggestions. :) Great minds think alike.

I am looking forward to your thoughts whenever I build the win more Neheb deck. I see Soldier of Fortune as the most fun defense against Sensei's Divining Top

TheNocholas, I look forward to checking it out; let me know.
I can see Soldier of Fortune as pretty annoying but I don't think it's worth running just to fight someone's Sensei's Divining Top. It's not that broken.
I like to Viashino Heretic someone's Sensei's Divining Top to make them use it's second ability... every turn. That's less mana they get to use the next turn if they want to cast it again.

If you want to make a goblin tribal deck you should include Ogre Battledriver-Door of Destinies- Herald’s Horn .
Also there are a lot of sorcerys that generate goblins like: Krenko's Command - Dragon Fodder - Empty the Warrens - Mogg Alarm - Kuldotha Rebirth - Hordeling Outburst - Goblin Rally. Why not duplicate all the goblins with Mogg Infestation to deal a lot of damage with purphoros and explode on mana with Brightstone Ritual.
