The Immortal Sun The power level on this was clearly pushed massively, turning The Immortal Sun into a modern day Mirari
It reads: Draw a card if an opponent has cast a blue or black spell this turn
You need more powerful cards and unique ways of catching up to these decks if you have any hope of turning the corner against them
We have other ways to add +1/+1 counters to our creatures: Shaile, Dean of Radiance adds counters while also easily triggering Breena, Orzhov Advokist gives everyone counters but they can't attack us, Guardian Scalelord puts a counter while acting as recursion, but I especially love Noble Heritage which acts like an even better Advokist if our commander is out

Volume buying (hundreds or thousands of cards at once)
