Red doesn’t get the shaft so much as it just doesn’t get to be as powerful with its main mechanic as the other colors. Damage is Red’s thing, so I’d love to see Lightning Bolt and other “OP” burn spells that give Red an advantage. Bonfire was a good start to the trend, honestly, and things got better creature-wise with Archwing Dragon (who I think is a fantastic card). I think there isn’t so much a need for variance as there is for more focus.

We recently had Lightning Bolt in Standard for two years.
