If a mono green deck doesn't carry around some enchantment removal it had it coming. Works even better with said big fatties if they have trample aswell. trample through with all but 1 damage/blocking critter.

Rabblemaster tokens attack each turn if able, so you can't hold them back to block. Your opponent can just take the damage from the 1/1s and swing back with their fatties.

True, but convoke spells such as Stoke the Flames can tap them down for mana if you dont want to swing into a bad board state. Kinda wanna throw Hornet nest into this idea too
There's a lot of wonderful ways to make use of Bow of Nylea, the problem is wasting turn 2 or 3 to play it, and not getting any real use out of it for another couple turns because your 4 mana the following turn is probably going to Polukranos.
If you think the Rabble/Bow combo is neat, think about just mono green with Polukranos attacking, then going monstrous after being declared as an attacker. Deal 1 death touch to all possible blockers. Add in Nylea, now you have fatties with trample and death touch. If that's so great you have to ask yourself why doesn't mono green main deck bow of nylea? If mono green has that much synergy with bow, and doesn't main it, then it's hard to justify putting it main in any standard deck.
^Speaking of hornet nest, I've been doing well with a RG burn/control/walkers deck that uses chandra to hit my own hornet nest. Also lightning strike or even fated conflagration on your own hornet nest after attackers are declared against you. Just not against any deck with bile blight.

The worry isn't swinging into a bad board state, because the only time that'll happen is if your opponent has First Strike creatures. The issue is that the only thing you're achieving by combining the two cards is giving the Rabblemaster tokens pseudo-evasion, which isn't really worth a card slot.
And Hornet's Nest has zero synergy with things that give Deathtouch. I mean, tokens + Stoke the Flames is good, but the Bow still isn't doing anything for you.

Except it can put +1/+1 counters on your hornets, or gain life, or kill their hornet. Burning your nest in response to removal is great too. I'm just pointing out that stoke is good if you dont want to swing with the goblins. There are some occasions where this is relevant, maybe not all the time, but I'm just pointing it out, because people dont always think of the smaller side synergies

Was playing against mono green.
Bow of Nylea = attacking creatures have deathtouch.
Goblin Rabblemaster gets a 1/1 Token each turn.
Each turn you get a 1/1 deatchtouch token attacking.
This really messed with my opponent eventually as I kept getting tokens cause he didn't want his fatties to die.
Bow is also good for the incremental +1/1 or 3 life gain, I had my Rabbledaddy at 4/4 before I even attacked with him.
