Disenchant and Invoke the Divine

Hi. I was looking back at many of your previous answers, including to one of my own questions, regarding Disenchant. You’ve been pretty emphatic about its status. I’d be grateful to hear your thoughts about its inclusion in m20 alongside a strictly worse green “Invoke the Divine”. The presence of both together seem to very much contradict colour pie philosophy that you have cited in multiple previous answers. Thanks as ever for your work and willingness to engage.

When one thing is better than another thing overall that doesn’t mean there’s never a set where another color is slightly better in that one set.

White vs Green Efficiency

Given that White is supposed to only get "Disenchant" effects at higher rarities or less efficiently than Green, could it not be argued that 3-mana instant speed "destroy target artefact or enchantement with upside" like Expose to Daylight of Invoke the Divine is pretty close in terms of efficiency to Naturalize? If mana cost were the only criterion for efficiency then Fragmentize, as another recent print, gets involved in the conversation.

Green supposed to be a little better but it’s not a giant chasm.
