Charging Hooligan kills an artifact or enchantment on entry — no mana investment beyond the cast, no activation required. In Totentanz, Swarm Piper builds it also dies on demand, which is the whole point.

Totentanz, Swarm Piper turns every dying nontoken creature into a Rat token, so Charging Hooligan pulls double duty: it removes a problematic artifact or enchantment when it enters, then feeds the engine the moment it dies.

Charging Hooligan is a Commander card first and almost exclusively. In 60-card formats — Modern, Pioneer, Legacy — a two-mana 2/1 that destroys one artifact or enchantment is a sideboard floor at best, and dedicated hate pieces like Destructive Revelry do it with upside. In Commander, the singleton rule and proliferation of Treasure-based strategies, Smothering Tithe tokens, and Enchantress boards make the effect reliably relevant, and any death-matters commander turns the body into a resource rather than a leftover.
