It's a Demystify for its madness cost. And you're right. It's still bad.

Would it have been too powerful if it destroyed target artifact or enchantment at that madness cost? Or if it just destroyed target enchantment but had a madness cost of 0?

I see this working well with spirit cairn or some other discard card

Strictly worse than Erase. (the urza's legacy one)

Guess I'm the only one so far that liked the flavor text enough to say it, huh? Any whoo.. Pretty awesome :)
Nothing I know of is "strictly better" than this. If you can find a way to pay a cost by discarding a card and then PLAYING that card in your deck, this card has some uses.

Madness cards cannot be so easily compared to their non-Madness counterparts. I would like to introduce everyone to three things: Card Advantage, alternative casting costs and "Discard a card from your hand:". (Note the colon, free abilities are great.)
I would call this and Fiery Temper better than Demystify and Lightning Bolt, but I also would build synergistic decks that have a real focus when using the former. If a non-Melvin built a deck, he'd prefer the latter, and the latter would probably work better for him.
Regarding the card: it sucks. But I'll take what I can get. White only has two Madness cards.
