Some of the moonfolk, though they could be a lot better, are there to be sacrificed to the Patron.
Essentially, all this deck wants to do is get one or more mana doubling effects or infinite mana via Palinchron (Acquire can be good for this too if facing monocolored decks), get Uyo on the field with Patron of the Moon, and then copy one of the win conditions as many times as possible. Getting 3 or 4 10+ copies of Eternal Dominion just feels so good.
After that, shenanigans happen.
Some of card choices, like Ghost-lit Warder, are there to still have something to do even after Eternal Dominion goes off. This is just a thought experiment right now, so not all of the card choices are set in stone.
Edit: Just been goldfishing with this deck to see how it interacts with itself before testing it against others when I get the chance, and Uyo, Silent Prophet + Patron of the Moon essentially read as 3: Copy target instant or sorcery. 2 doublers like a Caged Sun and Gauntlet of Power, or a double-copied High Tide off of Echo Mage, or some other combination is wonderful to get going right before a slew of Eternal Dominions. Paradox Haze seems kinda win-more with that level of copying, but I'll keep it in anyways. There might be some other good cards to put in this that will interact with it too.
Bribery and Knowledge Exploitation are both fine, but they're more dependent on the meta if they will be worth copying to the point of bouncing some/all of your lands, unlike Eternal Dominion since nothing else can be casted after it resolves.
I like your explanation and win conditions. I already made a EDH similar to your Goblin :P. Don't think i'll make another EDH just yet, but yeah enjoyed reading

Glad you liked it. Post about it in the U/R gobbo thread; I'd like to hear what you made differently about it, and how it plays against decks in your meta.
This one is more expensive than the last, about $165 and easily subject to change, and I'll probably have to dismantle my old Talrand deck for a lot of this. That one was more traditional U control, aiming for infinite turns and getting infinite drakes, or MoM/Temple Bell, or Blue Sun Zenith on all opponents, one at a time.
Edit:
Now that I've been playing it with other people, the lack of win conditions is rather crippling, and it tends to only durdle until overran by other players.
So, it will probably get revamped into a Patron of the Moon deck, as that guy is quite good, being a mono blue Azusa who can potentially ramp everything out.
Some tech will be stolen from Azusa too, maybe Storm Cauldron, with Amulet of Vigor=infinite mana as well as screwing up others, and some fitting blue tech too, like Meloku for Illusion spams and some other stuff I might find later when I got time.
Also, Trickbind is worth its weight in gold after just a simple prevention of Sylvan Primordial's EtB, much less other things it could counter.

Probably another I missed.
Under consideration for Patron Deck:
Trinket Mage (since Amulet is more important now)
Flow of Ideas (drawing off all those Islands seems great)
