Question by Jarad: Looking for black or red artifact/enchantment destroyer for my new standard deck?
I just bought a box of M2011 that had a Grave Titan and Foil Grave Titan so I decided to make a deck using them. I added in red for the damage and removal, but I am having trouble finding something to destroy enchantment and artifacts. I have played Bant colors for about a year now and am just adjusting to these colors.

There are no red or black enchantment destroyer cards, there are some artifact destroyer ones but they lack the speed to do some serious damage. Your best strategy here would have to be discard, use powerfull black discard cards to discard your oponents enchantments or any other threaths before they can harm you. Right now in standard exist one of the most powerfull discard cards: Blighting, its a common from Shards of Alara set, i think you will have lots of fun with it. Also by discarding your oponents creatures or by destroying them you can later steal them with resurrection type card spells.
Have fun.

Unfortunately, red and black have no enchantment removal whatsoever. Red has some options for artifact removal, the best being Shatter (m10) and Manic Vandal (m11). Your best bet for getting rid of enchantments is to force them to discard them out of their hand, like the previous poster said. The best options for this are Inquisition of Kozilek (Rise of the Eldrazi) and Duress (m11). Blightning can work, but they might end up discarding their non-enchantment cards, but it is still a fantastic card overall.
As a side note, opening a Grave Titan and a foil Grave Titan is insane!
Hope this helps
