Will Enchantments Become Problem Cards To Deal With After BFZ?
Standard forum

Rotation is upon us and as Constellation leaves so do many of the answers we had for enchantments. Revoke Existence had become a staple to deal with Hangarback Walkers and enchantments. No more Back to Nature or Banishing Light.
Dromoka's Command is okay but doesn't specifically target.
I felt fine using Erase sometimes because it could even be a kill spell for creatures like Courser of Kruphix but with no more enchantment creatures is this really a card you want to take up a spot in your sideboard?
I mean, I guess we still have Naturalize? Utter End or Sultai Charm if your running those colors?
So how much of an impact do you think enchantments will have after rotation? If they will be a problem, how can we deal with them? Answers for all colors would be great if you can think of some.

Sure,
Enchantments I had in mind were Sphinx's Tutelage, Hardened Scales have more than doubled in price with +1/+1 counter hype, Jeskai Ascendancy, Starfield of Nyx, and Sigil of the Empty Throne.
None of these are "hard to get rid of" as they are not hexproof or anything. Im just looking for good removal options and/or whether the community thinks that they will even be worth sideboarding for.

I don't see any of these being constructed issues outside of Hardened Scales.

Some of the ascendancy cards may end up being troublesome.
But I don't play standard.

As a Jeskai player, all I know is that if one of these lands on the battlefield before I can counter it, there are very few ways for me to interact with it, even after sideboard. I like my sideboard but am not sure if I should take something out and make room for a card like Erase.

Stasis Snare is the enchantment players should be most worried about, I don't see any other real problem ones. I don't see Sphinx's Tutelage decks being viable currently, but I may be wrong.

I guess you could make the case that Quarantine Field is an answer to other enchantments?

Im playing jeskai tutelage with noyan dar or whatever his name is (cast int or sorc animate 3/3 land) with ascendancy and tutelage pretty much just as splashing white for ascendancy n noyan....... but def did notice the lack of enchantment hate after rotatation..... my meta is far from net decking so we never know what to expect but my deck can mill you out with tute regularly or make huge lands that kill u or generate inf. Mana that causes me to do both..... I really see enchantment hate being worthy of at least . 2/4 slots in the board.....blue has disperse then counter it...sultai charm dromokas comand erase utter end naturalize scour from existence then there is the green modal land artifact enchantment card from.

Suspension field and silk wraps suffer a huge reversal of tempo against tragic arrogance.
Those cards I think can really benefit by teaming up with an eldrazi processor though

First of all you need to highlight if there are any enchantments worth worrying about, and then after that you need to see how hard they are to deal with.
