I really like this card as a SB option, but I'm yet to see it being used in Modern decklists. There are a lot of GY hate cards around (Relic of Progenitus, Tormod's Crypt, Grafdigger's Cage etc), but Faerie Macabre is something that can surprise a lot of opponents while avoiding countermeasures like Ancient Grudge and Echoing Truth.
Activates for free at instant speed, uncounterable, avoids removal, and not something people expect, its good. I loved it in my sideboard for living end.

MB 2 in my build so I can combo off more than once against aggro decks. Also its just nice to have a MB answer to gifts into rites iona.

When does lightning bolt kill Emrakul? When your opponent's at three.
Other than in Living End (which is such a strange deck that emphasizes synergy that Brindle Boar and Gnaw to the Bone are better aggro hate cards for it than Kitchen Finks), I think Faerie Macabre is having trouble fitting in sideboards because it is only spot graveyard removal. In case you meet up against decks like UR Storm, Dredge(vine) (with Faithless Looting, it's rising), and Sunny Side Up, you want to hit entire graveyards with your graveyard hate cards. Unlike Relic of Progenitus and Nihil Spellbomb, it doesn't cantrip, and unlike Leyline of the Void and Grafdigger's Cage, it doesn't hose entire graveyards until dealt with.
