Hello, I'm setting out to make a Mageta the Lion MWC deck. Tons of board wipes and as much card draw/advantage that white can make (and a subtheme of discard/reanimation package to use Mageta)
I can forsee few problems dealing with the board between instant speed exiles/wraths/spot removal for all types of permanats. However a fat, hasty threat like Genesis Wave into Akroma's Memorial, Tooth and Nail could be a problem. Also Jhoira, Azami, Black/X combo decks...etc..etc...
-What are the options for counterspell-esque cards, hand disruption, library searching? Cards that shut down threats before they are threats
-What are the options that White has to shut down decks that tutor, draw and play must be countered threats.

Given up magic because a)its a waste of money b)it sucks the joy out of life c)im doing more interesting things than tapping pieces of plastic that have no intrinsic value.
I encourage you to do the same. Instead of FNM try Friday Night Something Spontaneous. Instead of thousands of hours and dollars on plastic imagine it with a significant other or friends sharing something meaningful. I randomly typed a new password, so bon voyage itches i encourage you to follow suit! Cheers
Usually when people cast Genesis Wave they tap out, Mana Tithe could work. Also I hope you know about Aven Mindcensor. Nevermore can prevent a general from being cast, really hurts the mono red or mono black player.

Definatly away of Aven, he's already in. Any white cards that make people pay extra mana to cast things? And enchatments are brutal vs red/black. Any more good ones?

A lot of combos are either enchantment or artifact based as well. Altar's Light and Return to Dust if they're not already in there, should be. Not to mention having Seal of Cleansing on the board will keep people from wanting to play their combos until you exhaust it. In addition there's the previously mentioned Aura of Silence, and Oblivion Stone.

StaffWhite has a couple of actual counterspells:
Lapse of Certainty
Mana Tithe
Dawn Charm
Rebuff the Wicked
Illumination
The first two are the most likely to help you here.
Aven Mindcensor and Leonin Arbiter are your two best options for preventing searching.
Silence, Orim's Chant, and Abeyance can break up a combo if it requires several spells to be cast in a row.
Spot removal like Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares can break up a lot of combos, which tend to rely on one or more creatures.

Illuminate isn't white- perhaps you meant Illumination?, other than that this is a pretty good list.
Ethersworn Cannonist stops storm based and other multi-spell-per-turn combos, but it doesn't play too well with Mageta.
