I'm going to have to agree with BiNexus; Orzhov Charm  is severely underrated. On that note, Boros Charm  is overrated. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's not the be-all-end-all of Charms like everyone is treating it. I'd rank it at 4-5, personally. Aurelia's Fury  is going to be insane, but I feel like it might not be as insane as everyone thinks. It's no Bonfire  afterall. I think Razortip Whip  might be pretty underrated in Limited. It's not a great card, but it's quite solid in Orzhov decks.

Totally Lost  was underrated, I think, going into prerelease. It looked overcosted, but in limited, with not a ton of removal, it really threw my game off a number of times when it hit me.

Glaring Spotlight  might be a little bit underrated, because many people ignoring its second ability and just see the hexproof hate.
Aurelia's Fury is a little bit overrated imho. By no means a bad card but not worth its current price tag.
And Duskmantle Seer  ... sorry I just don't see it. No pun intended.
I think you are spot on with Glaring Spotlight. If you treat it as a turn 4-5 play instead of turn 1, there's a lot of value in making your board hexproof and unblockable mid-game.

I feel like Firemane Avenger  is better than her $4 price tag. Free lightning helix  is good. Combine her with a couple of Bomber Corps  on a battlaion strike and that's 5 ponts of free damage. Ouch!
Firemane Avenger is in the Boros intro deck, which explains it's relatively low pricetag.
Extort in general seems underrated. It definitely played better than I thought it would at the prerelease. Blind Obedience  seems undervalued, and Kingpin's Pet  is a limited workhorse.
Agreed with Obedience, it is good against many of the best threats of this current metagame; Thundermaw Hellkite  , Falkenrath Aristocrat  , Hellrider  , Lightning Mauler  ... and even makes blinking Obzedat, Ghost Council  not always a good idea.
I think people underrate Dimir Charm  . It is quite good.
Not really overrated, but some think the new Gideon  has a chance, but it doesn't, it's completely worthless.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

most dimir cards (especially ones with cipher) are underrated. In a control setting big cipher cards like stolen identity or whispering madness won't be played on turn 6... instead it will be played in the window of opportunity that makes you almost certain you'll get 2 cast that turn and more out of it later, (say you just cleared their field and their mana is all tapped or they just use all their mana to draw a bunch of cards). In that case many of the cards are a catch.

I think Prime Speaker Zegana is slightly under-valued atm...I mean $7-9? When I played her (sealed of course) along side Fathom Mage things got silly. I was drawing 4-7 cards a shot...if they tried to remove her I just used Bioshift to put her counters on the mage...another 3-6 cards please. Granted this was sealed but Prime Speaker is as close to a titan as we are going to get...she easily comes down on turn 5 to draw 4-6 cards.

tempo decks, not only in standard but Modern and maybe the eternal formats as well. But its uses don't end in tempo as it's a great card in aggro and midranged. It's a 2 mana spell that just does work at all times. I don't think it's the best charm, but it's a real boon for its colours and that's why people are giving it so much attention.
