With Cryptic Command, you at least have a little room for a couple of colorless lands or a splash for a 2nd color and still have somewhat consistent on-curve castability. With this Charm, you pretty much need to be playing mono-blue and/or have 0 lands that tap for colorless in order to reliably play this at or around the time where its mana cost wants it to be played.
You'll want ~2 more blue sources in your manabase to play this on-curve in comparison to Cryptic Command, which is already insanely demanding in terms of source count.
This card is really powerful, but it's pretty much only playable in mono blue.
