Default Blue / red enchantment removal

I play a blue / red deck and my friend plays an enchantment heavy white deck (leyline of sanctity and stuff). Are there any suitable cards for blue or red for enchantment removal?

There's absolutely nothing in red. Part of red's pie is that it can do nothing to enchantments.

For blue, try to use spells that counter your opponent's spells before they hit the board(Counterspell,Mana Leak, Daze, and Force of Will are all good choices). There are also a few goodies like Reality Acid.

There's almost no direct enchantment removal in those colors. However, using artifacts can also help you.

Culling Scales is great if your opponent runs enchantments with CMC 3 or less. Engineered Explosives blow up CMC 1 or 2 enchantments. Oblivion Stone blows up all of his/her enchantments.

Well, almost nothing.

Apocalypse

But that's a little bit excessive. Since your opponent plays with white enchantments, there is an old card that'll help.

Anarchy

Also, blue has Annul to counter enchantments.

Closest thing for Red is Capricious Efreet. Blue has Bounce spells to handle Enchantments on the field.

Since it's a white deck, Anarchy is available (assuming you're playing casually).

Red and blue also have thier respecitve Elemental blasts to destroy specific colored permanents. You could get tricky and use Magical Hack and destroy any permanent for 1 mana.

Technically that'd be two mana no?

Drake Familiar is another option on the blue bounce range. I like those little buggers. There are a couple artifacts that will hit enchantments. Most notably, Nevinyrral's Disk and Oblivion Stone.

Boomerang+Cancel is a nice way to build-your-own Desert Twister in blue.

Into the Roil is even better because it can maintain card advantage.

reality acid? Not ideal but probably the best you'll find in those colors. Very Johnny card, so you'd have to build the deck around it to get reall use out of it.

I'm surprised nobody said Nevinryal's Disk.

Two people above you definitely have.

You could just steal it with Confiscate or Take Possession.
