Hello everybody! So I am excited about building a Goblin deck in pioneer now that Conspicuous Snoop is in the picture. I am splashing white to give the sideboard a boost against the top tier decks in the format. My main question is what spell should I put into my main deck. I have boros charm in there now for the flexibility but I feel like I need a removal spell in that spot seeing that I am lacking in that area. What do you all think? The other options I have considered are lightning strike and heartfire.
Not a big fan of Goblin Ringleader. Personally I would cut those and add 4 Goblin Instigator. Kind of serves the same purpose of Ringleader at a big mana discount and works much better with Bushwhacker. If you are deadset on a 3 or 4 cmc goblin in that slot, Goblin Warchief or Legion Warboss could be decent choices as well. I also think there may be better removal than Searing Blood in your SB as well. Good luck.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
So I took your advice and made some adjustments. I also took a few pointers from the Star City Games Versus Series on YouTube. I Switched to mono red because I can't justify leaving out Castle Embereth. I put Goblin Ringleader in the sideboard for the grindy/sweeper matchups. Thank you WarMachinePrime for the tips and I am excited to try this baby out once my card shop reopens!
Good luck, glad to be of any help I could. Mono red will keep you more consistent and "faster" as well. Castle Embereth is a good choice. Good luck and let us know how it runs.

Go ahead and use the card tags on Conspicuous Snoop so people can see what you are talking about.
Warren Instigator is not legal in Pioneer.

I am interested in Pioneer Goblins as well.
