Orzhov Charm is a doozy; may be my favorite charm overall, but I also thought Devour in Shadow was going to make it to the big stage.

Spotlight isn't the Hexproof answer we need, it's the hexproof answer we deserve. I feel like this card is probably going to have crazy preorder hype and wind up in the same kind of Pithing Needle void. The anti-hexproof enabler probably needs legs to make it big.

AEtherize is really spicy. I legitimately hold that it will see Constructed play in Block, if not Standard. It seems like the sideboard card U-based control has wanted against decks like Mono-Red that have singular expensive haste threats and otherwise not very trying smaller threats. Also, it's a Token Wrath.

Thespian's Stage is a card you will probably want foil copies of for EDH, but also it can function as your 16th 'Post. I'm probably overselling it for that use, since getting it to clone a land requires two turns and
mana investment, but it's still a non-zero capability of the card.

Merciless Eviction is definitely a card they printed. The Enchantment and Artifact modes as separate functions probably hurts it a lot more than adding another color and giving it the ability to kill Planeswalkers helps it. Not that adding another casting cost restriction would help it.

I think Orzhoz Charm is good but getting a bit overhyped. The best Charms will remain the knew that can do stuff when you don't want to hold them. Selesnya, Azorius, and probably Boros. Orzhov prolly the best Charm in Modern by far.
Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion.

IMHO Dimir charm fits in that criteria you set above. Draw fixing for either player is a neutral and potentially powerful third mode for Dimir Charm.

Devour in Shadow isn't actually all that good, and that's the backbone of the card, so I don't think anyone's hype can justify it as being the best. It is an instant-speed answer to Orzabababababababa albeit at a 9-life swing.

Orzhov Charm seems like the best charm in the set, though Selesnya is my favorite overall from the block.

Forced Eviction should have read 'choose two' considering it costs the same as Austere Command.

ORzhov Charm is fun stuff.
I love Thespian Stage for EDH. It will eat a waste land a lot, but if it doesn't, you get to take the best land at the table.

I thought as much as well; costing 6 mana of two colors and having two modes for a Purify effect is maddening.

That spotlight is going to be insane. The first ability hardly even matters compared to the second.
Eric, Ren and Jensen were activists
Heads loaded with theory, their hearts are filled with passion
Shared the same left wing politics
Liked the same music, they were part of the protest movement
Now, Anna presented herself as a feminist
Studied the way they talked and dressed
Fashioned herself an anarchist
Eric fell in love with Anna at the meeting of the crime think conference
He didn't know it but Anna was an FBI informant

It does when you consider both Standard and Modern have Hexproof decks surprising top tables.

I don't know much about Modern, but I have a feeling this is going to me used more in Standard for its second ability than its first.
