Here's the idea: have 1 Goblin Arsonist, 2 Mudbutton Torchrunners, and Boggart Shananigans out into play. Then cast Cauldron Haze to give them all persist, then cast Tivadar's Crusade to destroy all Goblins.

Initial string of damage is 10 (1 from Arsonist, 6 from Torchrunners, 3 from Shenanigans). All your creatures come back from the persist, but die immediately due to -1-1 counters, resulting in a repeat 10 damage. Does this work?

I would say this works just fine. Nice.

I would suggest Last-Ditch Effort, because it deals damage.

you would only deal 17 damage

Boggart Shenanigans is and enchantment and therefore does not gain persist and it is destroyed by Tivadar's crusade because it is a goblin

You can make it mono colour using Cauldron of Souls and Goblin Sledder. Sac those Goblins instead of using Tivadar's Crusade.

I like Last-Ditch Effort, especially for the low mana cost. Cauldron of Souls is awesome too.

I was also contemplating Breaking Point, as it would either destroy all other creatures on the field as well, or deal 6 damage to a player that wants to prevent their creatures from being destroyed.

I originally got the idea when I saw Tivadar's Crusade - thinking how hilarious it would be to use on yourself in a goblin deck - but I forgot that it kills the enchantment too since it's tribal. Last-Ditch Effort is probably the best bet; it even adds an extra three damage to the combo.
