EDIT2: @Fireballmage: Good explanation. Thanks!
______________
EDIT: Whoever rated me low, feel free to do it again, but at least tell me what I'm missing first, ok? Pre-Scars, white generally didn't have cards that seem "evil," but "Horrors" definitely seem "evil" (afterall, wasn't "horror" supposed to be politically correct term for "demon" for a while?). I'm not hating on the card, just questioning its name/type belonging with white. Personally, I might have called it "Soulfire Liege" and made it a "Spirit Avatar" instead of a "Spirit Horror," but what do I know?
___________________________________
Leaving aside the game mechanics, how is a creature that's a "horror" (even a "spirit horror") EVER appropriate, flavor-wise, as white? I don't know the backstory, but it seems that the creature-type and name should have been more tuned to the nature of white. If you told me you have a creature card called "Balefire Liege" and that it has a creature type of "horror," I would never... (see all)

Sort of a souped up soul warden, it costs more, but does 3x as much. It helps get damage through on stalemate games while also granting a ridiculous amount of life gain. Only 3 spells with red and white in the cost is 9 damage and 9 life gain, and theres a variety of multi color spells to choose from. Quite possibly the best liege, in that it needs nothing except playing normally to make use of its free ability. It doesn't even have to tap, so you still have a decent 2/4 that you can equip with something to do extra damage, like a behemoth sledge.

twincast doesn't trigger this, even if you copy lightning helix. you have to cast the spell, and putting a copy onto the stack doesn't count. the most you would get for lightning helix+twincast is 9 damage, 9 life. still nothing to scoff at.

When I get him out, it's usually game over for the opposition. Give him shroud or the like and he's unstoppable. However, I think the artwork could be better.

In a {(R/W)} deck, he powers up everyone else and whenever you play a spell, you either heal yourself or damage your opponent! Nice. I like to play it with Glitterfang!

As soon as I saw this card, I wanted to do a themed deck where everything is White AND Red. It then almost reads "Everytime you play a spell, cast a copy of Lightning Helix. It cannot be countered and can only target players.". I once fought an opponent, he didn't counter it when I played it, and later, I just kept playing more card to cripple his planeswalkers (I like Jace's drawing ability :D) and eventually lower his health to death, no matter how many of my cards he was countering.
I like that themed deck, almost every card have both defensive and offensive purposes.
