Combos with Chandra Nalaar herself, her +1 ping can keep this thing a 4/3 flying pretty much all the time, not to mention the other burn you're likely to be running that will pump it even further.

@MisterAction
If you want to build a deck purely around the spitfire, simply add a few Flamekin Harbingers. That way, you can be pretty sure that you'll get a spitfire every game.

Anyway, I use this with Cinder Pyromancer and Grinning Ignus. With all three in play, you can effectively pay Red to ping the opponent for 1 and give the spitfire +3/+0. For fun value and incredible utility, I give this card a 5/5.

EDIT: @Lief098: You are my new hero. I didn't even think to tap into tribal potential. Good show.

Say, here's a fun interaction, going off turn five:
Cinder Pyromancer pings opponent for 1.
Soul's Fire, Targeting Spitfire to damage opponent.
Pyromancer untaps and pings opponent again before Soul's Fire resolves.
Soul's Fire deals 7 damage to opponent.
Spitfire swings for 10.

Takes a bit to set up, but it's 19 for one card and three mana, meaning you can afford to use other cards to keep yourself alive until it can happen or get rid of any blockers (or just put out a Goblin Tunneler).

This is one of the most "awesomest" cards ever! I built a Red/Blue deck around this, complete with Prodigal Pyromancer, Ember Hauler, Fire Servant, Staggershock, Sensei's Divining Top and whispersilk Cloak. At its best this card in conjuntion with others can pump out about 9-10 damage to player in a few short turns. I love it, its fun, a must have for a red deck.

Grapeshot is actually a good choice with this too, as it will trigger for each storm count.

But, with storm, you are trying to to much more than just get one creature really huge. At least, in most cases.

Pairs nicely with Kiln Fiend and Arc Lightning. Spread the damage and trigger both card's +3/+0 pump.

It's best friends are Goblin Tunneler, Gut Shot, and Kiln Fiend.
