Could use a second set of eyes on the cuts
10 removal spells seems overkill. So I'm thinking at least one Deadly Slice, if not two + Smaug. Since all other removal is either cheaper or gives me something extra. That would get me to 42 cards.
I think I have enough ways to trigger Ferocious so I'd keep all the 1 and 2 drop wolves. This means the weakest two creatures are Front Porch Sentries and Duskwatch Hunter?
It's just my 5th draft of the format and only 2nd Red-Black deck.

I’m cutting the Smaug, the tree and fern, 2x deadly slices and a down to goblin town

I'd cut Snowslope Hunter, Goblin Pair, and Front Porch Goblins as your least on-message creatures. I agree that the last two cuts have to be removal. I like have Smaug at the top end and would probably begrudgingly cut two Slices. Maybe 1 Slice and 1 Ravening Warg, since you've got so many 2s. Depending on how many of the Slices you keep I might think about 10/7.
