There are two casual decks where I really enjoy playing this card. One includes things like Primal Forcemage, Ooze Garden, Hamletback Goliath, Elemental Mastery, etc... Swing with the goblins and other haste tokens every round, then sac to the Garden if a forcemage is on the table. Janky but fun.
The other deck is similar but uses Dralnu's Crusade and the various zombie lords like Death Baron and the Undead Warchief.

This isn't half bad at all! It can completely offset the whole strategy of your opponents goblin deck, and it gives you a creature to attack with every turn. And if you don't lose them every turn, they can be used for devour. There are def. going to be games where you are running the board and all your opponents creatures have been wiped off or they don't run many. Also can attack for 1 damage every turn if your opponent has only 1/1's or 2/1's out and they won't be able to block unless they want to lose their creatures. GOod times!

I want to see this plus Beastmaster Ascension .
Turn 3: Goblin Assault
Turn 4: Beastmaster Ascension (If u drop a land u should have at least 2 to 3 creatures attacking this turn if they have haste.) 2counters.
Turn 5: another land and creature or another Goblin Assault 3-5counters.
Turn 6-7: Play whatever These turns, If u have 2 Goblin Assault u basically from turn 6 up have at least 2 6/6 goblins attacking each turn.

I use this in my devour deck along with Dolmen Gate and sometimes Skirk Prospector if I'm in need for some quick mana. The Gate gets rid of the drawback on Assault on top of being awesome just by itself.

Nah, perfect for goblin decks. Not good for careful combo seeking goblin decks with Warren Instigator, Goblin Lackey, Siege Gang Commander, etc, but you are all missing then the basic way that goblins should work. Which is to say.. "Forward Gobbos!! Attack Attack Attack!! Run into their swords and die horribly for your cause!!" To that effect, this card is super awesome for the use of Boggart Shenanigans, Raid Bombardment, Goblin Grenade, and Quest for the Goblin Lord. I'm sprinkling in Mogg War Marshalls, Dragon Fodder, Goblin Warrens, Hissing Iguanars, and hereby pronouncing it Nasty. Death by a hundred flea bitten moggies.

I think a lot of people are ignoring the most straightforward uses. First, this is great at generating token fodder. Second, board-affecting equipment like Umezawa's Jitte and Sword of Fire and Ice never goes without a body with this out. Still behind Bitterblossom, but in toting powerful equipments, the haste is terriffic.

Use with Intangible Virtue to get a Cerodon Yearling every turn.

Judging from the wording of the card, you could sideboard this against a Goblin deck and force your opponent to attack every turn. Risky, but if you can wipe out the attackers (or just play Fog or something) then you've got little to no resistance if you attack on your turn.
EDIT: I like how it evidently never occurred to Past Me that Goblin decks are either attacking every turn or losing.

1) Keep them alive and dealing damage for as long as you want with Kyren Negotiations.
2) Goblin bombardment isn't bad for the ones that get blocked by beefy defenders.
3) Or throw in a Helm of Possession, to sacrifice one of your opponent's creatures to the bombardment each turn.
4) This is the second best card in my Goblin Assassin deck.
5) Great prior to a Jokulhaups.
