A deck that would benefit from Lightning Helix is a red-white aggressive or midrange deck looking to apply pressure while gaining life to stabilize against aggressive opponents. While Lightning Helix is a strong card for its versatility in dealing damage and gaining life, some decks may prefer more specialized options like Boros Charm for its flexibility or Lightning Bolt for its efficiency in dealing damage. Lightning Helix should see play in decks that value both damage output and life gain, especially in formats where these effects are valuable for survival and tempo advantage.
