I have a Purphoros, God of the Forge deck that runs Goblin Recruiter. While it feels like an incredibly strong card, I still don't feel like I am using it to its fullest potential.
You definitely have a lot of ways to make Goblin tokens, and that goes great with Skirk Prospector, but have you considered Fire Marshal Bill? He's a board wipe that Purphoros would survive AND a great way to break stalls and/or kill multiple opps at once. This may not fit your playstyle or the deck's goals but it's something to consider.

10 from Purph, 10 from Bill, that's halfway there! Or all the way...

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Either way, it was always Goblin Ringleader that really unlocked the potential for Goblin Recruiter. This was true when the first Goblin Food Chain decks came out as well. In your deck I'm not sure that Ringleader would necessarily work so well given that you are only running 13 Goblins (so a Ringleader "in the dark" would probably come up empty), but if you tutor up Goblin Recruiter enough then it might be worth it.

Usually I go for Krenko or Kiki-Jiki or both. Are there better goblins I should be using? Do any of them provide extra utility? (ramp, removal, etc)Any suggestions on how to better use Goblin Recruiter welcome!
