I can only think of a few cards that are better under general circ-umstances. and they're only good in their own colour, this is good for suprise factor in Blue and Red decks
As for Grixis charm, that needs three colours to work.
and as for zealous persecution, it isn't Blue or Red is it?

The real crime is not how this compares to Zealous Persecution, but to the rest of its own cycle:
3.450 White or Blue Repel Intruders
3.824 Blue or Black River's Grasp
4.314 Black or Red Torrent of Souls
4.390 Red or Green Firespout
3.815 Green or White Dawnglow Infusion
3.986 White or Black Batwing Brume
3.196 Black or Green Cankerous Thirst
3.750 Green or Blue Invert the Skies
1.794 Blue or Red Unnerving Assault
3.646 Red or White Moonhold

I want to like this card. I really do. But would it have been so wrong to make its cost 1Blue or Red instead?

I am confused why this card was made so weak. All that can be said about it is that it set the stage for blue instants that have a variation on the theme of "creatures your opponents control get" some lose in power until end of turn. Of course, this card's descendants like Hysterical Blindness or Turn the Tide are significantly better than it.

Zealous Persecution is different colors, your argument is invalid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is easier to cast anyway as it doesn't require two colors to go off.

And just because there exists a card which is strictly better than another doesn't mean that the worse of the two is by definition crap.

Grixis Charm seems better in every way imaginable if you can pay Black.

Forget comparisons with other cards, this one is just terrible in its own right. There are a nearly infinite number of U/R spells you could play instead of having this poor thing in your deck. Just because there's not a card that's strictly better than it in its own colours doesn't mean it's good.
