Lash Out

Emotional Red Spells

"If you want red to feel more emotional, find spells that have some emotional resonance." What red spells do you feel exemplify emotional resonance? Stranglehold? Anger? Lash Out? Lightning Bolt? Ball Lightning? I can see how the title of a card would clearly convey an emotion, but that feels like good branding, rather than good design. What are cards whose designs have clear emotional resonance? Do cards have intrinsic resonance outside the context of the metagame or personal history?

EDIT: TUMBLR’S HAVING ISSUES. THE REAL QUESTION WAS WHY DOES NICOL BOLAS HAVE RED IN HIM? I think the red got in their to portray his dragon-ness. Personally, I don’t see a lot of red in Nicol Bolas personality-wise. He is not at all impulsive and doesn’t tend to let his emotions drive his decisions.
