I wonder. Can you play Phage the untouchable then use this card to switch and make opponent lose?

No, because Phage doesn't come into play at that point - she just switches control.

Solid card. Allows you to steal creatures for free. Combos very well with Surgespanner and Temporal Adept in Wizard Tribals ... or Unsummon and Boomerang in a generic blue deck.

4/5.

Play with Equilbrium and bounce the creature you gave to your opponent.
Then you can rinse and repeat when you cast your bounced creature again, since you can bounce and recast Spawnbroker as well.
You could of cours always bounce something else from your opponent instead (maybe a fattie you couldn't target with the broker) if you don't worry about the traded creature on your opponent's side.
(That's about the only bounce combo i could think of where he would be preferable to Gilded Drake.)

Regarding Bronze Bombshell:
"When a player other than Bronze Bombshell's owner controls it, that player sacrifices it. If the player does, Bronze Bombshell deals 7 damage to him or her."
Dang! This would have been a great target for this combo. Steal up to a 4-power creature each turn and deal 7 damage. Oh well, it's still a decent target with Spawnbroker by itself.

You can still do that combo if you play black and use Recurring Nightmare,Endless Whispers or Dawn of the Dead to return the Bombshell to play, then bounce and recast Spawnbroker, take an opponent's creature and let the bombshell explode again. For the Nightmare you can also sacrifice your opponent's creature for activation.
Endless Whispers is hilarious even without the Spawnbroker: attack with the Bombshell and watch them not blocking it since they know it would deal 7 damage that way, and just return to your side next turn :D

If you splash red, Bazaar Trader is also a good choice with him.

Not a single Morpheus reference? I am disappointed Gatherer.

This means the player has to sacrifice it. The second line refers to if something interferes with the trigger. If nothing messes with the trigger, the player takes 7.

Can someone tell me why Bronze Bombshell doesn't work like this? As soon as you swich, they have to sacrifice it (It's not a may effect) and lose 7 health, and it has a solid 4 attack to switch something with.
