Rantipole a few months ago Id have agreed with you but electrolyze has proven itself to be deceptively awesome. Steam augury is a very good card too but I always find myself just wishing it was fact or fiction.
How brutally fun would copying brimaz or hero of bladehold with duplicate be? Prime time?

That's what I did this weekend. Boy, I underestimate this card a lot. I add this card to my cube 2 nights ago.
It have copy Kanolian Hydra, Brimaz, and True-Name Nemesis in the 1st night. And I can say that cube card+haste is quite brutal.
Got to play this yesterday in my Izzet deck and it was consistently the card I wanted to have in my hand and did excellent work. I am pretty sure this will stay in my Izzet section.
I can attest to its power. We drafted last weekend, and one of my players drafted U/W/R midrange. He said that the card was consistently a top performer, copying his Archangel of Thune and Baneslayer Angel for massive lifeswings, and allowed him to win a few matches that he otherwise would've lost; the power of Haste cannot be understated.
I think that Izzet Charm, Electrolyze and Steam Augury are fine cards, but they're not exactly exciting, whereas the clone is a very powerful, splashy effect in a guild that has traditionally been very shallow.

I hate to cut the last of my Izzet burn spells but new cards are fun too!
I think you forgot Phantasmal Image.
And I got to say, a 4/5 Brimaz with hsate is a deal for 4 mana.
I still wanting to see it copy some titan. This+any titan would be really awesome to play.
