Dealing with enchantments as red-blue
General forum

The best way I've found for dealing with enchantments that mess up my burn deck ("Leyline of Sanctity" for example) is to either counter them when they come out or use boomerang to bounce them back to their owners hand and then counter it the next time he plays it.
Can anyone suggest any other ways of dealing with enchantments playing a red-blue deck?

Unfortunately, Wizards has never printed a mono-red magic card that destroys an enchantment other than Anarchy , so that would be the only red solution to Leyline of Sanctity . However, blue has a lot of tools for dealing with enchantments. You could use Boomerang as you said, but you can also use:
card:Barrin's Unmaking
Of course, most of the cards listed above are unpractical, unorthodox, and expensive to cast/buy. Also, you'll notice that none of those cards will destroy an enchantment in play. I only list all of them to give you a feel for all of the options out there. Now, the best way to deal with enchantments with a red/blue deck is Lux Cannon , which works in any format at the moment.

Ratchet Bomb is also a colourless solution to enchantments. However, your best bet is either counterspells or bounce effects like Disperse .

Out of Ratchet Bomb/Lux Cannon and Steal Enchantment, which would you say is more effective at dealing with enchantments? Since Steal Enchantment is easier to get out but Lux Cannon has more options to it and can be used more than once.

Lux Cannon is colorless anything hate, but it's rather slow.
