The main way to up the power and resiliency of a deck is to increase the draw/ramp/removal packages, you're going to want 10 each of those categories.

As far as counterspells go that won't be wasted on a cascade: You Find the Villains' Lair, Mystic Confluence, and Supreme Will are all modal, with some fun other options.

I would say the main thing this deck needs is more interaction with its opponents. You may see a Narset, Enlightened Master on the other side of the table from you, and have no way to deal with it. Yikes! A boardwipe or two will do you good, whether it be a Burn Down the House or a Hammerfist Giant.

With Forgotten realms out, I have some suggestions for rotation. For the most part, the deck is intact but it loses embercleave, sublime Ephinay, and it’s mana base gets weaker. Embercleave can’t really be replaced with much, perhaps you could could change the deck grixis or esper colors to add Vorpal Sword as a replacement, which also gives access to some new treasure tools from AFR, but I doubt you’d want to change your deck that much so the next best thing I found was Hand of Vecna

Mana base is The real problem so either you hope innistrad prints/ reprints good lands or you add more basics and some snarls

Sublime can be replaced with a number of other win con cards or a board wipe but if your looking for something that does what sublime does, best thing I found wasInscription of Insight andYou Find the Villains' Lair ,though inscription not really good and Lair doesn’t have enough value for the card it’s replacing

And I have a couple more card suggestions that I think are interesting for win cons, Sorcerer Class,Inferno of the Star Mounts, and Demilich
