Like all of the charms, this is a highly
versatile card. It is not the strongest of the
charms, but that doesn't keep it from seeing
some play in 5cc type decks, usually for the
Pyroclasm ability. The +2/+2 can also be very
nice in the right situation. While it's true
that Firespout and Pyroclasm are both legal,
this is better in the 5cc deck because it's an
instant and it's more versatile. In non-control
decks, just run the Firespout instead.
In limited, it's versatile and it has two very
useful abilities. Play it if you're in the
colors.

Jund Charm
All of Alara's Charm spells are very powerful,
and Jund Charm is no exception. At first glance
it can look like you'll only ever use two of its
abilities... but then you realize that wither is
a keyword ability from a recent set, and that
Rage Forger and Bramblewood Paragon are always
looking for new allies. Even if you really do
only need the first two, you rarely see these
abilities at instant speed for such a discount
price, so enjoy it.

Casual: 4/5

Jund Charm
This is one of the better Alara charms in my
opinion, and they are all already very good, so
that shows how good this card is. Its mainly
used for instant boardsweeping since this is the
only playable instant speed board sweeping
effect in Standard. Combine that awesome mode
with the versatility of removing a graveyard or
adding 2 +1/+1 counters for combat tricks or
Persist interaction just makes this powerful,
versatile all rolled into an efficient cost.
Constructed: 3.8/5
Casual: 3.5/5

Jund Charm
Constructed:
It is one the best charms. To do 2 damage to all
creatures at instant speed is awesome. It can
even cross over to other constructed formats
with it's first ability.
Casual:
Charms are okay for the casual crowd. I wonder
if a only Charmed deck would work. Hummmm.
Limited:
Would pick this high even if I am not going Jund.
It is to strong to let someone else use it.
Overall a very good charm hard to chose between
it and Esper Charm.
