I'm sure being a common and Limited Format considerations is also a big factor.

A pretty compact win package for Red:
Goblin Recruiter gets Conspicuous Snoop, any Goblin, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker.

The trick is that you can make infinite Conspicuous Snoop with Kiki-Jiki on top of Library but they'll all be tapped.
So you want to do the infinite at the end of turn just before your turn so they'll all be untapped to attack with. That means stacking an alternative Goblin so that its not directly on top, otherwise you'll have summoning sickness through Kiki-Jiki being your top card.

Alternatively if you want a heavier Goblin package that wins on the spot, I've come up with..
Goblin Recruiter gets Conspicuous Snoop, Skirk Prospector, Goblin Bushwhacker, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Mogg Fanatic.
You'll need rrrr to get this combo going, rr for the Conspicuous Snoop and r for Skirk Prospector.
Then you can sacrifice Goblin Recruiter for r and cast Goblin Bushwhacker kicked to give Conspicuous Snoop haste so that you don't have to worry about summoning sickness.
Because you can get infinite Goblins, that means infinite mana, and you can just eventually cast Kiki-Jiki and then sacrifice all the Conspicuous Snoop with Mogg Fanatic activated ability as its on top of library.

Nothing is going to feel as red as flashbacking Firecat Blitz then activating Soubira, Caravaneer of the Tulzidi's discard ability during your Final Fortune turn.

@darrenhabib Might I recommend that the goblin you stack between snoop and jiki be Torch Courier? T4 win, or T3 with fast mana.

Alternatively, stack up snoop → torch courier → Kyren Legate (probably better alternatives but just something cheap) → Dark-Dweller Oracle → jiki → mogg fanatic.

play snoop, courier, legate, sac recruiter and legate to exile the top 2 cards, then courier gives snoop haste while jiki is on top, make infinite snoops, then once jiki is exiled sac them for infinite damage. Total of 5 mana, plus the two for recruiter. So could go off T2 with, say, gemstone caverns and seething song.

OK, well you can combo with only rr in theory with your suggestions, although it would rely on opponent having a Plains.

Goblin Recruiter gets Conspicuous Snoop, Skirk Prospector, Kyren Legate, Torch Courier, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Mogg Fanatic.

Because Conspicuous Snoop has Skirk Prospector ability, you sacrifice Goblin Recruiter to be able to cast the Skirk Prospector.
You can cast the Kyren Legate for free so that you can sacrifice it to have enough mana to cast the Torch Courier.

Right, idk why I forgot about just casting the prospector. For some reason I was stuck thinking you could only have one activated ability available at a given time.

Yeah that's pretty insane tbh. Wouldn't be surprised if that becomes a thing in legacy. Wait...recruiter is banned in legacy, nvm lol.

-snip-
I'm pretty dense when it comes to combos, but wouldn't this not work because the Conspicuous Snoop only has activated (emphasis added) abilities of the top of the library? Therefore, any copies of snoop lack haste, and can't then be tapped to use the snoop-kiki ability?
Edit: I'm just as dense as I thought - the tokens have haste via Kiki's ability! Sorry.

Are they? It looks like a more narrow Swan Song to me. Not that it's bad, but there is competition already. Flusterstorm also competes for the slot. I haven't played enough cEDH to know whether decks want more of this effect though.

This post is basically doing an evaluation for myself to see actually where Miscast might fit into the picture.
Swan Song features in literally every Blue deck except for Edric Turns as they don't want to give opponent a creature.
Flusterstorm features in 65/74 = 88%
Spell Pierce is really the variant of the decks featuring in 15/74 = 20%.

So for me there are two questions here.
Decks that do run Spell Pierce, are they going to play Miscast as well as, or would it be a replacement?
Decks that don't run Spell Pierce, would they consider Miscast?

I personally run Spell Pierce in my cEDH decks, so I do rate the card more highly than other people (according to this breakdown). So for me personally Miscast is going to make a lot of my cEDH decks.

First the death trigger changes allows me to have a easier time to sac Ryusei, the Falling Star, recast and sac again for 40 as long as I had Repercussion and Furnace of Rath/Dictate of the Twin Gods without having to need Grim Lavamancer/Relic of Progenitus.

Now with Fiery Emancipation, I don't even need to recast, 45 to the dome as long as they all had a non-flying creature. Or I could just 117 Blasphemous Act per creature...

how does this interact with Purphoros, God of the Forge? One of the decks in our meta is/was a norin ping you to death.

It deals a hefty 6 to each opponent.

Repercussion is a key card, because it checks for damage dealt to creatures (from another source), then it dealt damage to players, so it was a key funnel to "doubling" the doublers, because the doublers get to check two damage triggers everytime a creature gets damaged. By itself Repercussion doesn't do anything.

Purphy just deals damage to opponents outright, so it doesn't synergize with Repercussion.

Was not expecting a goblin, more flexible Stuffy Doll. Seems like an A+ card in Nin. Even better if you run Basilisk Collar!

Something about Brash Taunter just makes me giggle looking at it. What a ridiculous card.

Enthralling Hold isn't very exciting here, but that card will haunt my dreams in limited.
