Anticipation is the answer Only black has good options for making the opponent discard. Running Demolish won't be enough to stop a deck that's playing 7 cards a turn. And heavy discard can have a tough time against Prism Array which they can play easily the turn they draw it.

And heavy discard can have a tough time against Prism Array which they can play easily the turn they draw it. Among the cards I've had success with against that sort of deck are The Great Aurora and Day's Undoing. The former to clear the board of all their supports and whatever tokens they've managed to summon (and also oversized Hydras); the latter to knock stuff like Seasons Past out of their hand before they can cast it (and give you a nice jump on casting whatever is in your hand after it resolves, which is hopefully another Day's Undoing). Problem is, both are mythics so getting them might be tough.
