Why Play Disenchant

Clean, efficient removal for problematic artifacts and enchantments makes this a reliable sideboard inclusion across multiple formats. White-based control and midrange decks appreciate the low mana cost and instant speed, allowing you to answer threats while holding up countermagic or other responses. The instant timing lets you destroy equipment before combat damage or remove enchantments during your opponent's end step to maximize efficiency.

Format Notes

Strongest in Pauper where it serves as premium artifact and enchantment removal at common rarity, often seeing mainboard play in white decks. Commander players frequently include it as reliable, budget-friendly removal that hits two of the most problematic permanent types in multiplayer games. While playable in Pioneer and Modern, it faces competition from more versatile removal options, typically relegated to sideboards when specific artifact or enchantment threats dominate the meta.

Combos & Synergies

Pairs naturally with Academy Ruins to create repeatable artifact destruction by destroying your own artifacts and recurring them for value. Works well alongside Enlightened Tutor in older formats, allowing you to fetch the perfect answer and immediately deploy it. Sun Titan creates strong value engines by recurring Disenchant from your graveyard, giving you ongoing removal while applying pressure with a powerful threat.
