Ok you're playing uwr miracles your opponent has just used Wasteland on your copy of Karakas you decided Venser, Shaper Savant isn't good enough for your deck and your opponent just used Sneak Attack to bring in emrakul, deal with emrakul

Well, we are playing miracles. Terminus is a 4-of that is the base of the deck.
I'd rather just have my Humility or Peacekeeper out and let them be sad if we are discussing sideboard options.

Oh, Vendilion Clique is another commonly used sideboard option that would help here. Just get it out of their hand before they resolve the Sneak Attack trigger.

Chi hoy yim disagrees about running 4 terminus without a venser to back them up and probably disagree with running a 5th copy

There are decks that run Venser, Shaper Savant as a 1-of in the main. I just believe that it isn't what the decks really wants unless the meta is filled with Reanimator and Sneak and Show decks.
Karakas is mainboard hate against these decks, as well as the whole Countertop lock and the 3-4 Force of Wills, not to mention that some decks run Counterspell. Sneak and Show shouldn't be able to land a Sneak Attack or a Show and Tell unless the Miracles player is about to lose or has an answer to the creature being played.
Oh, another card that is even better than the ones already mentioned and one that I forgot to mention. Containment Priest

Containment Priest, Diabolic Edict, Innocent Blood if they are using Show and Tell.
Wasteland is not played in Legacy Sneak and Show. You may have seen a couple lists play it, but generally speaking you can expect your Karakas to be safe.

Ah, forgot that you wanted to do it in Miracles. In that case, Containment Priest is your best bet. Meddling Mage is also reasonable to stop them from casting either combo piece.

Sneak Attack doesnt resolve first off. otherwise, play Terminus
