Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Pump Ability: For 1R, you can temporarily increase its power, which can be strategically used in conjunction with its death trigger.

• Death Trigger: Deals damage upon death, making it a deterrent for opponents considering whether to kill it or not.

• Low Base Stats: Its 1/1 stats mean it's vulnerable to removal or being outclassed by larger creatures.

Deck Utility:

• Burn Strategy: Ideal for burn decks focused on dealing direct damage to creatures and players.

• Combo Potential: Can work in decks that have ways to sacrifice creatures for benefits, maximizing its death trigger.

• Goblin Synergy: Could find a home in Goblin tribal decks that benefit from having multiple Goblins in play.

Goblin Fireleaper is a flexible low-cost creature perfect for aggressive strategies. Its pump ability allows for flexible damage output, and its death trigger can act as a deterrent or even a tactical asset. Ideal for decks built around Goblin synergy, burn, or even combo strategies.
