Heroic Question

If I were to target Phalanx Leader with something like Flames of the Firebrand would Phalanx leader die before the heroic triggered?

He'll have the counters on him before the spell resolves.

Phalanx Leader , Flames of the Firebrand
When you cast Flames of the Firebrand targeting Phalanx Leader, his ability triggers. Then, the next time players receive priority (are able to cast spells/activate abilities) the ability will be put on the stack, above Flames of the Firebrand. Since the stack resolves in last in, first out, the ability will resolve first, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. This will make Phalanx Leader a 2/2. Assuming you only deal 1 damage to him, he will survive.
FYI, questions like this are best asked in the Q&A.

Just for future reference, you'll get a faster responce if you put questions in the Q&A section rather than in the forums.

He gets the counters whenever you cast the spell.
