I want to love this card but a friend of mine is THIS close to flat-out marrying his copies of Blind Obedience which just makes this card sad all day long.

Ball Lightning Helix. A 12-point life swing for 4 mana seems fair if you are able to connect with it.

Silverblade, Ajani, Caller of the Pride, Boros Charm...

Yep, lots of ways to make this a game-ender.

Honestly, if you get to the fourth turn and haven't dealt the 8 damage to make this guy lethal, you're playing the deck wrong.

T1: Vexing Devil smashes them for four
T2: Boros Charm, same thing
T3: Silverblade Paladin or Ajani, Caller of the Pride
T4: Lethal Spark Trooper.

Ball lightning, what have they done to you?!

There's now this, Ball Lightning and Spark Elemental. Next:

Blightball 1BBG 6/1
Haste, Trample, Infect. Sacrifice Blightball at the beginning of the end step.

Seriously, this card isn't really all that useful. Why would you want to gain life in an aggro Boros deck? It's flavourful I suppose but still a bit silly. Much rather Ball Lightning for aggro.

@Capncrunch: It's fine for the game. Who wants lifegain in an aggro deck? It's a really silly fit. And you would never use this card outside aggro so it's just a waste. If you want too powerful, try Ball Lightning or Goblin Guide which both make ten times as much sense for an aggro deck.
