Hi,
I am currently in the process of building a competetive multiplayer Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker EDH deck. With the list I have put together, it is mainly focused on combo win conditions:
1. Lightning Crafter, Kiki & sac outlet combo: Copy Crafter with Kiki, champion Kiki, tap Crafter token to deal damage, sac the token to return Kiki, rinse and repeat.
2. Thornbite Staff, Kiki & anything that deals damage, creates tokens etc: There are a variety of ways to win here as most creatures in the deck (most of the creatures that have an ETB/LTB effect) create an infinite combo with Thornbite Staff/Kiki and a sac outlet.
3. Zealous Conscripts & Kiki: Win on the spot, pretty boring but may aswell run it while I can.
4. Beatdown: Pretty much a last resort really, just go on the beatdown plan if I have no other way to win.
I have tried to build the deck with as much ramp as possible in mono red, which relies heavily on artifacts, and then with as much search and tutoring as possible for my combo pieces, through the Goblin package I have in the deck, along with Artifacts such as Scroll Rack and Divning Top and Wheel of Fortune effects, and of course including Gamble. I want the deck to be as quick and resilient as possible really, which is not too easy in mono red.

I'm looking for some feedback on the deck list, is there anything that should be changed, or anything that I am missing? Anything that could be improved up at all, just any suggestions people have I am happy to consider.
Thanks
Strionic Resonator -- Most of the creatures have ETB triggered abilities, which you might as well be able to copy for profit.
Purphoros, God of -- with any Kiki-Jiki loop this does infinite damage. it also just does lots of damage in general for doing what your deck wants to do
Magus of the Moon -- Moar Blood Moon is Moar good. auto-include for monored EDH??
Mimic Vat -- seems like another good way to abuse those ETB creatures
Invader Parasite - exiling a land can be useful to avoid recursion shenanigans. it's also just fun to do this to a basic land and deal tons of damage to enemy monocolored decks.
Strionic Resonator seems like it could be really good in the deck, as well as Purphoros, God of the Forge. I intended to try and fit Purphoros in to the deck but couldn't find a spot to be honest. Magus of the Moon I originally had in the deck as well as Blood Moon, but then I'm running 14 non-basic lands myself and I don't want to nerf my own land base to be honest so I took it out, just having the one Blood Moon effect in there instead. Maybe I should cut down on some of the non-basics but I'm not sure. Mimic Vat is, again, another card I wanted to include in the deck but just struggled for space or something to cut to include it. Invader Parasite I looked at, it's on the maybe list at the moment and I may give it a try at some point.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I would cut Goblin Ringleader. It's way too consistent in anything other than Goblin Tribal (Krenko). With fewer than 50 Goblin creatures in the deck, you expect to draw fewer than 2 Goblins per 4 cards, which makes it kind of bad.
EDIT: Although I guess the combo with Recruiter is nice. Up to you.
