Hilariously, Leyline of Sanctity is mostly seeing play right now as protection for broken Show and Tell combo decks as free protection against discard. Apparently those decks required sanctity.
There are so many things wrong with this design. Here are the big ones.
1. Both Black and Red have no way of answering this because, you know, Wizards won't ever print decent Black, Red, or colorless Enchantment removal. Now, I understand the need for the color pie, but where are the hosers that White can't answer? Why do the most extreme hosers keep getting printed against the colors that can't do anything about them?
2. Black should be able to "answer" this card through discard, but the disgusting Leyline ability stops any chance of that. The Leyline effect decreases interactivity. It does not use the stack. It does not require you to gather resources to cast it. It just says "No" and removes an entire dimension of the game. There are very few times this... (see all)

The only problem I have with this is the absolutely atrocious things that happen when you have this and your opponent's Treacherous Pit-Dweller dies. Or any of the Hunted cycle from Ravnica: City of Guilds.

We do have an enchantment removal for red right there:
Anarchy
If you run red you need to sideboard this... but in newer formats we may be out of luck...
