A Boros aggro or midrange deck would benefit from including Lightning Helix as it provides both removal and life gain, which can help stabilize against aggressive decks while also providing reach to close out games. While Lightning Helix is a strong card, some decks may prefer Lightning Bolt for its lower mana cost and flexibility, or other options like Boros Charm for its versatility. Overall, Lightning Helix is a solid choice that should see play in decks looking for a mix of damage and life gain.
