I felt like this was one of the best "buddy finder" cards, since the pinging ability is a lot more c^umulative than just being a 2/3 or some thing.

Goblin Warchiefs make it fun, haste and one less cost. But hey, you all knew that right.

I may be thinking of something else, but doesn't Cabal Slaver have to do with combat damage only? It says so on the card...thus, this wouldn't work the way you seem to be saying it does.

Down-Forward-Fierce Punch!
The Goblin is better than the likes of Howling Wolf or Daru Cavalier because he is a utility creature. In that way, it's almost like searching for rebels. Whereas a Skyshroud Sentinel is just a bad card that gives you more bad cards, Embermage Golbins have a sort of cumulative effect. They can gang up and wipe out opposing creatures more easily the more of them there are.

Comparing this guy to Goblin Fireslinger is interesting. You're paying an additional 3 to get the fetch. And while a squad of pingers is certainly interesting, I don't know if it's worth it... Throw in Goblin Warchief though, and it becomes a lot more appealing.
Still though, if you're playing a goblin deck with the Warchief, do you really want to this direction?
And LateralisOne is right. Cabal Slaver only deals with combat damage, so there's no combo to be had here.

Prodigal Pyromancer, except a goblin, costs 1 more, and has the Squadron Hawk effect. Sweet.
(Unlike Goblin Fireslinger, this can target creatures. Which is kind of a big deal.)

Well, on the one hand, this card is of course horribly overcosted. Four mana for a 1/1 pinger. Ugh.
On the other hand, this costs only one more mana than the average pinger, and draws you a card. And even a card that draws you another card. And pingers get more dangerous the more you have, since they can take out larger threats.
