Necrotize on Color Pie Issues- Blue Burn?
8 years ago
If I'm not mistaken, cards of this type are few and far between, with most of them being alternate versions(or very old versions) of other cards in different colors. Char is the red version of Psionic Blast(although, Psionic came way before), Prodigal Sorcerer became Prodigal Pyromancer. This kind of double nature happens pretty frequently in blue/red actually.
Guerrilla Tactics-Psychic Purge
So I don't know if there were enough "burn" blue cards to say blue had a burn subtheme, but blue is the color of copying, misdirection and trickery. It is a pretty weak lore argument, but it makes a little sense, Blue always having the element of surprise with small pieces of spells you wouldn't expect them to have.
