I can see some pretty funny situations arising where you cast bonfire from the top then instant cast Rakdos Charm for the last ability and end up dealing almost lethal while also wiping their board completely.
Still, I wish the first ability had been "Target player sacrifices a creature." as I think that graveyard hate cards are much too abundant at the moment.

Definitely agree with you on that last part. All of this graveyard hate feels REALLY out of place for what we've seen so far in the set. I know they're trying to fix the misteak that was Snapcaster, but with hardly any graveyard shenanigans present in RtR thus far and all the 'hosers' that we've seen, it's kind of agitating and out of place.

Brian Tinsman, Set Designer :?mana::snow::snow:
Legendary Creature – Human Designer (MR)
Brian Tinsman, Set Designer can only be cast during the third set of a block.
When Brian Tinsman, Set Designer enters the battlefield, ignore all flavor and mechanics of the first two sets in the block. "Ok so what do we have here... gothic horror? Scrap it. Expand the Devine Vs. Demonic duel deck to 244 cards and print it!"

i fail to se how any of selesnya charms abiltiies should cost 1, only the +2 and trample could be argued. also lifelink ability of aorious charms abilities easily cost more than 1. so i don't think that it is fair to say all charms first two abilities have 1 cost abilities.
Selesnya Charm First Ability = Rancor
Selesnya Charm Second Ability = Dispatch, Path to Exile, Soul Snare
Azorius Charm First Ability = Lifelink (Tweaked turn duration, Revamped Creature quantity, unbalanced in favor of tweaked second ability)
Azorius Charm Second Ability = 127 different cards with CMC 1, most of them are better.

You might want to reconsider.
nice to see you made a new account to troll.
even if you were right, you are naming GOOD cards(that are obviously undercosted/aggressively costed) compared to the meh cards that rakdos charm is replicating.
it basically comes down to you dont want to play rakdos charm main deck, and its just not a super exciting card in general.

I wasn't trolling, those are facts, checked card per card. I just felt like answering to that one, after seeing a lot of missguidance of tought in this whole threat.
Despite the fact that I am right, I can also say you are right. On the other charms, good cards were replicated, where in this, situational cards were.
But the thing is: How meh are the cards being replicated?
I can tell you for sure that using this charm as 4 side is a lot better than having to pack 2 GY hates and 2 artifacts destro or even more, since because you can fizz with the ammount of cards you want. You have 12 cards in 4. You have 4 Laxes for 2, 4 Ancient grudges and 4 Tormods. In only 4 cards. Do you really think that's bad for a sideboard?
It could be better? Definitely yes. It could be worse? Definitely yes.
The place where mostly everybody is commiting a mistake is where they compare this charm to other charms. Every charm has a function, this one is a banging sideboard card. That's it. If you want to Main it, do it at your own risk. If not, you can sideboard it.
If you're not using it, you can suit yourself and use up 4 burn spell slots, 2 GY hate slots and 3 artifact hate slots or similar.
I can honestly feel for sure that Gatecrash will have worse charms than this, mark my words.
Really like the anti-Twin effect. Oh, you make a million tokens and swing for lethal? How about you die instead?
GY hate takes on snappy, loam (and other GY abilities),
There are TWO ways to use it against affinity. Knocks out a birthing pod.
Instant speed GY hate to head off a Finks recursion, etc., etc., etc.
I admit, it is somewhat situational, BUT, it appears that it attacks many of the major archetypes in the modern format, which I certainly like.
You know reading this got me to realize how RB this card really is. BR is all about the hate, and this card sure hates a lot. This coming from some one who built BR hater in lorwin shards standard
In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.
Yeah if you happen to be running something with RB then there is no reason this should not be on your sideboard. I like that the charms have resistance to being "dead" cards in most situations. That's kind of the secret to why cards like these charms are good. Worse charm by far still.

Unless you have any creature with lifelink I'm pretty sure that's a draw
