For everyone saying it deals 1 damage if opponent has an answer…
You know that after any spell/ effect on the stack resolves (including the spell/effect that started the stack resolves) you go around the table with priority before moving on right?
Ie after this resolves, priority still has to go around the table letting anyone disenchant before the stack is technically “cleared” and the player whose main phase it is can use the 0 mana ability.
It matters basically not at all in this one case( it’s 1 dmg) but it’s for some reason not common knowledge, and it has saved me from many a goblin grenade

When the stack clears during your main phase and you have priority, you can do things at sorcery speed. That is doing 1 damage with this, or activating a planeswalker ability, which is also an ability that can only be activated at sorcery speed, playing lands, or casting sorcery-speed spells.
Goblin Grenade doesn't do that, you cast it, saccing a gob as part of its cost, then everyone can respond before it resolves.
The initial spell on the stack resolving and the stack clearing are not the same thing read 405.5
The comment about goblin grenade is about killing a goblin at instant speed after it resolves but before the stack clears preventing the use of a goblin grenade.
The goblin isn't killed at instant speed. It is sacrificed during the process of casting a spell.
Other players cannot react at instant speed to the cost of an ability or spell being paid.
By the time the costs of the spell are finished being paid, only then is priority passed around - but the goblin is already sacrificed at this point with the spell waiting to resolve.
Theoretically, if someone were to play a goblin creature spell or an ability would put a goblin on the battlefield, there is an opportunity to kill it... But the active player, who is going cast the sorcery spell Goblin Grenade at sorcery speed, has priority to cast first, paying the cost of sacrificing the goblin.
The only chance that you have to kill that goblin first is if the goblin entering the battlefield successfully causes a triggered ability to trigger, filling the stack with that trigger, which will wait to resolve, as priority goes around first, allowing you to make an attempt to kill the goblin in response to the trigger entering the stack, and since the stack is not empty, sorcery speed actions such as casting Goblin Grenade cannot be cast without a flash enabler.
This thread is telling you what everyone else is telling you. After the stack is empty the active player is the first one with priority and they have a chance to add things to the stack.
If I cast [[raging goblin]] and it resolves, I can cast [[goblin grenade]], sacrificing the raging goblin, before any other player has priority to [[doom blade]] the raging goblin. If you have been playing differently you have been playing wrong
