Random soldier: Commander! We've lost control of the spark troopers! They're out of control!
Boros commander: Send in... the keyrune.

I saw a game where this guy was playing a Orzhov deck who had Blind Obedience on the field. The poor kid had this in his hand. That really is just a major feel bad moment in magic.

Here is a neat 1 hit kill combo if your opponent decides not to block your Spark Trooper
Spark Trooper + Inquisitor's Flail + Boros Charm or a soul binded Silverblade Paladin after blocker are assign and before combat damage is dealt = a very scary suicidal trooper

Stormtrooper {2RRW}
Creature — Elemental Soldier
Storm (Copy it a whole bunch of times.)
Trample, lifelink, haste
At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice Spark Trooper.

Turn 1: Plains, any white one drop (Doomed Traveller works well
Turn 2: Mountain, Infernal Plungeand then Spark trooper
Also Works well with Séance

At first glance, I considered Silverblade Paladin and thought this Spark Trooper would be amazing. But then I realized Blind Obedience was printed in the exact same set... and this card went from awesome to not so good.
Not to mention this set is very first strike heavy. It's kind of sad when you realize your entire double strike goodness plan is cut in half by something as simple as an Aerial Maneuver, or a Warclamp Mastiff.

when i first saw this card, i about fell over. not only does it have haste and life link and a huge 6 damage if it hits, but it is a soldier too. Preeminent Captain is very much my choice for getting this card into play.

Well, I managed spread the name "Ball lightning helix" in my local card shop.

if this card is supposed to be a finisher, what do you want the life gain for? better use ball lightning.
