Whoa. Very nice card indeed. The only full proper cantrip Disenchant there's ever been is Slice in Twain. This is 1 mana cheaper, more common, and has an alternate mode as a creature rather than a cantrip where you still get the card! And the creature's stats are solid limited-playable even without the disenchant - even without the cycling!
I think the overall power level here is too high. Any of the following would be perfectly reasonable common designs:
Instant,
: Destroy target artifact or enchantment. Draw a card. ~ can't be countered. (better than Slice in Twain in at least 2 ways; I'd want at least 10 for my casual decks and at least 4 for my EDH decks)
Creature - Bird,
, 2/3, Flying, When ~ ETBs you may disenchant. (Better than Aven Cloudchaser in at least 2 ways; I'd play it in casual decks)
Creature - Bird,
, 2/3, Flying, Cycling 
. (okay, this is just Keeneye Aven, but that was a fine card, if unexciting)
To combine all three of those reasonable cards onto one card... seems a curious choice. It's not like the card is broken, or even abusively overpowered, but it just seems better than it needs to be.
no more uncounterable instant artifact/enchantment destruction.
