Like the idea of combining goblins with the new Battlecry. I would probably switch out the 3x Burst Lightning and 3x Galvanic Blast with 4x Forked Bolt (or Flame Slash) and 2x Fireball. Since you only have 5 artifacts, and the kicker cost of Burst Lightning is rather high.

Will try him out and see what works best. Pros: You draw (up to) 4 cards right away, and you don't have to discard (but neither does your opponent) Cons: The recruiter-combo is more critical for this card, than for sensation gorger. He costs an additional mana.
Other draw-cards could be: Preordain, Foresee (scrying to get out training grounds or teachers) or Steady Progress (proliferate + draw) PS. Also, 4x Kabira Vindicators are a bit much in my oppinion
IMO cryptologists are too slow in a leveling deck. If you are running a bit low on cards, there are other more potent cards out there. Instead I would go with Students of Warfare or Skywatcher Adepts. Maybe bring in some Turn Aside, or other cheap counters to protect the Transcendent Master or the Chronologists
You're right, double strike should make it harder to block early, which makes up for the extra mana. And it's cheaper too :P
Think you are right Biermann1, except for coat of arms, everything should be playable at turn 3 or 4. (with reasonable distributed lands in deck). Will try and swap them for an extra recruiter and sensation gorger, since they are rather important for the deck to work proper
Have the brightstone ritual in there for the same reason, but might want to add more. But against creature-control decks it might be a better alternative
Looks nice, and I like the sacrifice-style play. Thought about putting Goblin Grenade in there? Please also take a look at my goblin deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=135373
