R/B enchant removal
Modern forum

I play a deck that primarily focuses on killing opponents with Liliana's Caress/Megrim and discard spells. I find that if an opponent drops a Leyline of Sanctity, It is almost impossible for me to win. If I am running R/B what options do i have for enchantment removal.

Ratchet Bomb (though it's a bit slow), Slaughter Games (though it must be preemptive) and Chaos Warp (though it carries the risk of giving the opponent something cool for free) are probably your best options. Not great, but you don't have a lot of options unless you're willing to splash into a third colour.

Chaos Warp is not modern legal. A pre-emptive Slaughter Games is far too slow, and Ratchet Bomb is only really good against weenie strategies.
Instead of fighting Leyline of Sanctity, you could just avoid it completely and attack with creatures. Liliana of the Veil, Hypnotic Specter and Pack Rat don't target to opponent, and are powerful threats (Specter not as much) to have on the board. Sometimes Leyline of Sanctity is just going to happen, so run creatures or non-target spells like Smallpox to get around the effect.

Burning Inquiry is my biggest hitter. Unfortunately, however, I think you are right. There isn't really anything I can do against it :/

Red and Black are weakest in enchantment removal. Thoughtseize is probably your best bet.
