You can afford a plateau if you're playing legacy ;)

Straight white? What are you playing? Anything that gets rid of enchantments is great against  {Sneak Attack}. Try  {Angel's Grace} or one of those type of effects.  {Humility} works. Any banishing effect:  {Oblivion Ring},  {Banishing Light}, that new one from Khans...

I hope you aren't playing Death and Taxes, because sneak & show is a bye for that deck.

As others have mentioned, {Humility} solves all spaghetti monster problems.

Would {oblivion ring} really work as it is a colored spell that has to target it. Or since the way it's worded gets around the protection from colored spells

It gets around it because it isn't a 'spell' when it targets him. It's already on the battlefield so he's just being targeted by a permanent :p

This is good but a lot of lists go Show into Omni and then you're screwed bc they cast Emmy and win

The bigger problem with all the o-ring effects is they put in {Griselbrand} and draw 14 with the trigger on the stack...

Usually doesn't work, since they do 7 at a time. You bolt in response to the first activation, they activate again, you bolt them to 3 or 2 or whatever, they draw 7, force the 2nd bolt, and draw the other 7.

The game is over when Grizzy enters the battlefield unless he is Revokered/needled the whole time, and you race a 7/7 life linking flyer. Or if they're at 6 or something.
