Bookrook, Taken by Nightmares cannot destroy or otherwise remove enchantments, so I have no problem, with that card.

SaberTech, your last point is actually a very good one, because that is a very interesting question to ask, and I suppose that it is one that we should debate; as long as black's ability to sacrifice or destroy enchantments does not intrude upon white and green's ability to do so, I shall not be bothered by it. I would prefer cards such as Mire in Misery or Extract the Truth over Feed the Swarm or Withering Torment, since those cards allow the caster's opponent to choose what enchantment they sacrifice, rather than allowing the caster to choose it, which means that the caster needs to play it very strategically, to produce the best result, from it.

How do you feel about Taken by Nightmares? It exiles, offers a scry effect, and costs only 4 mana compared to Shatter the Oath.
