Creeping Corrosion

Balancing Enchantments and Artifacts

Given that enchantments and artifacts will now be balanced as far as number of colors that can remove them, will they also be balanced as far as ease of mass removal? it's super weird for me that both Creeping Corrosion and Back to Nature are cards.

Black can’t get rid of its own enchantments, so it can’t get mass removal of enchantments.

Artifacts vs Enchantments

"The difference between artifacts and enchantments is mostly flavor." If that's the case, why is it so much easier to mass remove enchantments (Back to Nature) than artifacts (Creeping Corrosion)? Given that artifacts are colorless and thus easier to cast and more ubiquitous, shouldn't it be the other way around (if there needs to be a difference at all)?

Right now three colors remove artifacts and only two remove enchantments. The best individual card, single or mass removal, will always change over time as different spells come in and out.

Artifact Destruction Debate

I thought red was supposed to be #1 at artifact destruction; it's just that Disenchant and later Naturalize are more flexible. But red gets Smelt, Smash, Shattering Spree, and Smash to Smithereens, and got Shatterstorm long before green got Creeping Corrosion.

It’s first in that it gets solo common artifact destruction but second in that Green (and formerly White) get a more efficient common that can deal with artifacts or enchantments.
