Hey all,
Running Mardu and trying to round out my removal suite with either Despise , Magma Jet , or Mardu Charm .
Deck list here: Mardu Monsters
Any and all advice/help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Mardu Charm is god awful in this meta. Not killing Polukranos, World Eater , Siege Rhino , etc. is a massive liability.
Magma Jet really only hits Goblin Rabblemaster and unpumped Seeker of the Way , other than that it's really only good as burn/scry.
Despise is just amazing in this meta, it's what you want imo.

Despise is ok, there are enough matchups where it can be unreliable. Jeskai wins and U/B control for example. Both of those decks are very creature/planeswalker light and it's very easy for something like despise to whiff in those matchups. Despise is better as a sideboard card that you bring in against creature heavy midrange decks like Abzan midrange and other Green based midrange decks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Despise is bad or anything like that. It's just better to bring it in for matchups where you know it's not going to miss.

Mardu Charm gives you two different types of removal and feeds Butcher of the Horde .
Despise is low cost but also very narrow.
Magma Jet is less relevant as removal in the current meta.
