Hello guys,
I'm playing B/U zombies and i have trouble finding an answer for Rest in Peace . Is countering it my only choice?
Yeah, you're kind of up a creek in those colors. The only cards with enchantment destruction in standard right now are green, white or Golgari Charm . Cyclonic Rift would at least let you bounce it, giving you another chance to counter.

Ouch, that's rough! I'm only running 4 Drowned Catacomb s as my blue mana, rest is from Cavern of Souls . So the blue mana for countering is very unstable. Not to mention actually having a counter in hand when it's played too. Oh well.

Or force a discard before it enters the battlefield. Duress and friends could help.

Oh that's right! I even play Duress ! Awesome, this scenario hasn't occurred for me yet, but that's great!

I run 3x Syncopate in my mainboard of my G/U self-mill, with an additional 1x Syncopate and 2x Negate in my sideboard.
I don't like Rest in Peace either. >.<

Pretty much. U/B doesn't have any hard answers to enchantments. You can bounce and counter, but that's about all you have.
