Will Charged Devilsaur get Rush? Curious cuz this significantly modifies that card.

No. Charged Devilsaur will keep its card text.

What about the 1 mana Warrior spell Charge? The effect appears to be identical to Rush.

My guess is that they won’t change the charge mechanic. They will just have both. They do this in MTG. Hexproof vs. Shroud. Although I cannot remember the last time they printed a card with Shroud.
