Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
When I first saw Soulbright Flamekin in the list of cards we were previewing, my thoughts immediately turned to dragons and Stonebrow. Those are both fine ways to use the card, but the coolest tag-team partner for the little "powder house" was a card that was slated to appear after my Flamekin preview. We did a little schedule flip-flop with my other preview, Rings of Brighthearth, just so I could refer to Mark Rosewater's Monday card—the awesome and incredibly creepy Mirror Entity.

Soulbright Flamekin works with Mirror Entity in two important and obvious ways. It gives your creatures trample and it gives you a mana boost, two things you are looking for when can turn your creatures into X/Xs for X mana.

Since both creatures have activated abilities requiring a payment of mana, I figured this would be a great time to use Heartstone. Now instead of giving you eight mana when you put in six, Soulbright Flamekin will give you eight for three! How can you spend all that mana? Well, since I randomly decided to make this a Goblin deck, you can use that mana to unmorph a Warbreak Trumpeter (more creatures = more X/Xs), pump a Goblin with Goblin Taskmaster, have your Spitfire Handler spit fire, or use Blaze-on-a-stick Goblin Dynamo to send damage dome-wards. Captive Flame is the chief non-Goblin use.

Moggcatcher is great with Heartstone, but, more importantly, it can fetch Mirror Entity as well as the aforementioned Dynamo (the latter at a significant discount). Once you've got an Entity in play and the ability to make your creatures into X/Xs, the two Goblins with abilities that key off their power (Spikeshot Goblin and Rabble-Rouser) become pretty absurd. The last creature I added isn't a Goblin, but since the deck is red and white I figured I'd use him anyway. How could I not use Boros Swiftblade? Not only is it completely ridiculous with Mirror Entity, but it's not bad with Captive Flame, either.
