Ceaseless Searblades + Mirror Entity
If I am not mistaken, I need to have something like Veteran Armorer out to keep the searblades long enough to givethem a million power, correct? Since after each activation of mirror entity the searblades trigger will go on the stack?
Is there a way to stack all of the searblade triggers on top of the mirror entity activations in a way that I can Fling a HUGE searblades without SBE killling it?

If your intent is to activate Mirror Entity's ability for X=0 repeatedly and want the creatures to survive after the abilities all resolve, then yes.
Is there a way to stack all of the searblade triggers on top of the mirror entity activations in a way that I can Fling a HUGE searblades without SBE killling it?
There is. When you activate Mirror Entity's ability, Ceaseless Searblade's ability triggers and goes onto the stack on top of it. The following is a legal sequence of actions that gets you the result you want.
1. Activate Mirror Entity's ability for 0.
2. Ceaseless Searblades' ability triggers and goes onto the stack.
3. Allow the Searblades trigger to resolve.
4. While the Mirror Entity ability is still on the stack, activate the ability again for X=0. Repeat from step 2.
5. After N iterations, your Searblades has gotten +N/+0 and there are N instances of Mirror Entity's ability on the stack.
6. In response to the Mirror Entity abilities, cast Fling.
With Veteran Armorer it would work, but you can't stack the triggers in any clever way to get around it. Even if you retain priority after activating Mirror Entity, the trigger will be put on the stack before you have the chance to activate Mirror Entity again.
EDIT: Didn't think of that. Artscrafter is more clever than I am.
