I'm building an Orzhov Midrange deck

SCORE: 6 | 5 COMMENTS | 606 VIEWSand I'm seriously considering mainboarding 2 Orzhov Charm as one of my 2CMC removal spells.
I would love some feedback on whether or not this is an interesting idea or just dumb lol
My logic:
1: All the 2 mana instant speed removal spells in Orzhov colors have serious limitations in what they can hit whereas Orzhov Charm hits anything.
2: The life loss may be an issue but I feel like the deck can recover life later in the game well enough it shouldn't be an issue.
3: I've run into a few Mono Black Aggro and Rakdos Aggro decks at my LGS and neither Doom Blade nor Ultimate Price take care of enough of their threats.
4: I can emergency bounce my dudes in response to kill spells and let's be honest - who expects an Orzhov deck to bounce?
5: The art is cool =-)
Would love some help with this! And as always general suggestions are always appreciated! =-D

as long as you're gaining the life, it's not a bad idea. It doesn't hit EVERYTHING but yeah it's certainly not as limited as a Doom Blade , Devour Flesh , or Ultimate Price .
The MAJOR draw back is that yes you do have to have BW in order to cast it where the other spells like those mentioned above as well as Last Breath only need 1 of the colors to cast. But being able to get the BW isn't that difficult in a 2 colored deck.
The best thing to do is look at whats in your meta, and base your kill spells off that.
