Ok, with now out of the way, which is the correct SB strategy against SB Leyline when playing discard spells? Nothing worse than a promising turn 1 discard, turn two spell, turn three Liliana of the Veil only to end staring to a turn zero True believer.
Is it worth considering to SB out the discard spells? Sounds horrible, and leads to scenarios where they could justs be bluffing. Nature's claim is the fastest response but is hella narrow.
Which is your plan against decks that might be siding in Leyline? Which enchantment reomvoal spell is best suited for the job?
You see, I have libraries of experience here. I've played Bogles for a long time now and I probably have played against BGx the most. My record is 82-43, despite only playing Leyline of Sanctity in the main only twice - always 4 in the board though.
You have to keep the discard in because it is SO good if they don't have Leyline of Sanctity. If they have it, you have Maelstrom Pulse for it, so perhaps play an extra one of those or side it in if you have it. There's literally no way that you can side out all of your Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, or Liliana of the Veil in these matchups (Lily being a "both discard a card" with Leyline in play).
And in our defense, not everybody likes having their hand stripped and then relying on top decks. My top decks in Bogles are a whole lot worse than yours in Jund. Now when I'm on Titanshift, I welcome the discard. That deck draws live.

I apologize for the first line. I've been posting in a fighting game forum where the occasional curseword is allowed as long as it isn't personal and forgot it was banned here. No offense meant for anyone who plays Leyline (they totally should), it was just me being a little mad and frustrated because the card owned me in three tournament matches.
Yeah as expected I have to side in the enchantment removal. I hate it because the options are to play something versatile like Pulse which forces to wait until turn 4 to start picking their hand or use something far narrower like Naturalize or Nature's claim against something they might not have, but I'll have to live with it.

Well, dodging the Swear filter gets you an infraction I believe, but we feel the same about your discards. :]
I would say, since you are in black, unless you are on 8rack, you should have a multitude of options as you should be paired with Green.
Many.
