I am calling out to any and all cards that can destroy an enchantment that are playable in a mono-red deck. I know Apocalypse and the Disk, but are there any others?

See, here's the thing. If you really want to play mono-red, you better plan on winning fast. That's the trade-off... powerful color, for the quick win. If you want a longer-term style deck, you'll need to mix in white, green, or blue to get enchantment control.

HOW THE (expletive deleted) DO YOU WIN ON (expletive deleted)(expletive deleted) TURN TWO WITH BURN????!?!?!?!?? I am so sick of losing to story circle! I mean, I have fireblasts, I have acceleration spells, I even have demonfire for the late game, but I can't remove any more mana, and it's driving me nuts to never draw lands at the beginning and never draw spells in the lategame.
In case anyone is wondering, I am HORRIBLE!!!! in deckbuilding. And I'm on a budget (THE NAME!!!)

So if you can't win with a pure-red deck against Story Circle, just go ahead and make a red/(insert other color here) deck -- even if it's just a splash of a second color -- and scare the crap out of your opponent when you drop, say, a Forest on turn 10ish, Naturalize his Circle, and pound him for 15 damage all at once.
Just a thought.

It's times like this that I wish I had any onslaught painlands.

Try 4 of these:
Flames of the Blood Hand (2R. Instant. Flames of the Blood Hand deals 4 damage to target player. The damage can't be prevented. If that player would gain life this turn, that player gains no life instead.)
Betrayers uncommon worth about a quarter....
Or
Aura Barbs (2R. Instant. Each enchantment deals 2 damage to its controller, then each enchantment enchanting a creature deals 2 damage to the creature it’s enchanting.)
Betrayers uncommon worth about a dime...
With these 2 cards you have an answer in your deck for Story Circle or circle of prevention......
Flames of the Blood Hand is a very efficient card, 4 damage for 3cc and no prevention/Life gain at instant speed..... maybe not the best burn card, but nice utility.

I've been looking for the flames for quite a while now, I really want those cards. But I don't think Aura barbs is that useful. Thanks a lot.
I just had a breakthrough: The red enchantment removal card!
Essence Destruction 3RR
Rare
Instant
Split second
Destroy target enchantment.
Or wait, here's another one I'd love to see.
Intensify 1RR
Uncommon
Instant
Buyback 2
If your opponent controls an enchantment, Intensify costs 1 mana less and cannot be countered.
If an opponent controls a white enchantment, intensify costs 1RR less to play.
Damage can not be prevented this turn.
Lightning blast costs one mana more to hit a creature, again no prevention. And with enough creature hate, Flames looks like a REALLY GOOD burn spell.

Well, honestly, the nearest that we have is Char or Lightning blast. Char costs you two extra life, but for that, you can shoot creatures, but prevention still works...Mooseman said:

Oversoul
The Tentacled One
My burn deck can potentially outrace Story Circle. I don't have Lava Spike, but if I did, that's 12 total three damage for one mana cards (Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Lava Spike). Then there's Fire Blast, etc. Story Circle by itself is not going to stop something like that in time.

I beg of you, send the decklist!!! I don't have any lightning bolts, but I have lava spikes (My friend who runs a copy of Mark Wraith's burn deck pities me every time he sees what he calls an awful spell... I pity him-it usually kills him)

I found three cards, then...
Plus flashfires, but that doesn't solve the problem, just holds it down for a second.

Ooh, nice one. I like the way you think.

However, Manabarbs is not really a budget card. In addition, if you did something like that a good way to prevent hurting yourself as much is to find as much artifact mana as possible. (sol ring, diamonds, moxes 
, etc...)

Yeah, you are right... but my deck runs four fireblasts and pyrokinesis.
