It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.54. It's a key card in 3 combos.

A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and generating energy counters would benefit from including Lightning Runner, as it provides a powerful combat ability with double strike and haste, along with the potential for additional combat phases. While Lightning Runner can be a strong finisher in the right deck, it may face competition from cards like Hellrider or Combat Celebrant, which offer similar aggressive capabilities. Ultimately, Lightning Runner could see play in decks looking to close out games quickly with a burst of combat damage and extra turns.
