Psychic Spiral is the perfect counter to rest in peace.

as opponents cast rest in peace, psychic spiral returns all your graveyard cards to your library while making them exile all the cards in their library. Then you hope to top-deck d-sphere or cyclonic rift.
Sorry, maybe I worded wrong. It's the perfect DEFENSE for Rest in Peace.

Um... okay? Cool story bro? xD
And it's not the PERFECT response to it, if your deck counts on keeping creatures in your graveyard to keep going, like my Dead Marshes (Self-Mill).
The perfect counter is, well, counterspells.

follow that with a cyclonic rift+negate?
I misspoke, I think I meant defense. I rather draw into another gravecrawler than never have it ever again.

Rest in Peace costs 2 mana. Psychic Spiral costs 5.
I wonder which one will get cast on turn 2...

...Ray of Revelation is a card. Or just don't play Zombies.

Yeah. What landgrafb said. Don't play Zombies or Frites and you'll never have to worry about Rest in Peace .
The best counter to Rest in Peace is to counter Rest in Peace .

GC may hold some cards that'd do that and fit the color bill you want.

Blue and Black are traditionally very weak to Enchantments. Black has just about nothing to deal with them and Blue's only defense it to counter them (Counterspell ) or bounce them and prolong death (Boomerang ).
If you want to destroy/exile Enchantments, you really need Green or White to do it. Even right now, I don't think there's anything in Standard that isn't Green or White that can destroy Enchantments.

Enchantment removal cards are actually not that great against Rest in Peace if you Ray of Revelation it, your graveyard is still exiled and the damage has already been done.
