I think Bog Witch could have been a cool card but it costing  {2} {B} and being sorcery speed and without haste made it suck. Here's a slightly better version that I hope isn't too powerful.

Flame Caller {R}

Creature - Goblin Spellshaper

Flash
Haste
 {R} {Tap} Discard a Card: Add  {R} {R} {R} to your mana pool.

0/1

What do you think?

That seems very strong. In combo decks it could replace red rituals. In goblin decks it rockets you to swarm the board turn 2.

Did you forget to add "Discard a card" as part of the cost?

I did indeed forget to add discard a card, I'll fix that.

Broken as hell.

More importantly, seems out of flavor for red.

Red acceleration tends to be single use these days. Also, it tends to be either incremental (Rite of Flame, Braid of Fire), or makes you pay a lot to get a lot (Seething Song, Geosurge). A reusable, quick, and cheap mana boost goes against pretty much all three principles.

I suppose it's mostly the thought that this format is just one big Mistake; and not even a very sophisticated one at that.

Instead fo Discard a card, like the Spellshapers, Perhaps make it " {R}{Tap}: Add  {R} {R} {R} {R} to your mana pool.  Target opponent chosen at random gains control of ~."  In a similar vein to Witch Engine from Urza's Block.

this should be discard a card at random and it should deal damage to its controler each use.

Flame caller  {R}

creature- goblin shaman

flash
haste
 {R} {Tap} ,discard a card at random:
Add  {R} {R} {R} to your mana pool,
Flame caller deals  {3} to you.

1/2

...still too strong?

I still don't like that he has flash or haste. They seem largely superfluous.
