1)How does fiery confluence work with the modes 1 dmg on creatures x2 and destroy target artifact and let's say SoFI on a 2/2?

2)player 1 is using Mons's Goblin Raiders (Beta) as 1/1 red goblin tokens. Player 2 wants to wipe the board with an EE on 1 pointing to the tokens. Who is at fault here?

1) The card is resolved in order so the damages will be prevented then the artifact will be destroyed.

2) You can't use Magic cards as tokens. You're not even allowed to keep cards not in your deck with it. Both players are responsible to maintain game state so responsibility is shared but player 1 is looking at a possible Game Loss while player 2 a simple Failure to Maintain Game State Warning; those aren't upgradable to harsher penalties. It is different in Modern since the card is not legal and can't be seen as playable or in Regular REL because there is basically no penalties besides DQ. Depending on the situation the judge might back up to before the EE is cast and changes the tokens or let it stands as real cards in play.

If a player intently let the board state be misrepresented or purposely ignore a rule, then the penalty could be DQ.

608.2c. (http://www.yawgatog.com/resources/magic-rules/#R6082c) The controller of the spell or ability follows its instructions in the order written.

At Regular REL I would let P2 keep the Explosives, even though technically nothing illegal happened, and I would tell P1 not to use those as tokens as they are misleading. At Competitive, the Explosives would stay gone (activating it is legal) and P1 would be told not to use misleading cards as tokens.

The rule is no cards stored with the deck "that could be conceivably be played in the player's deck". Mons's Goblin Raiders may or may not pass this criteria depending on the deck, and are extra likely to be OK if they're sleeved differently than the rest of the deck since that is also taken into consideration (IPG 3.5).
