How to beat my friends commanders?

My friend tends to take 10-15 minute turns and his decks are 3x the price point of mine. I know price doesn’t always dictate power level, but it’s perfect mana base, every tutor possible, and then commanders that are just really solid. Here are the decks I’m struggling against.

[[Glarb, Calamity’s Augur]] The only solution I’ve found is graveyard hate if I can draw it. I do run it in all my [[bojuka bog]] in all of my decks that have black in it. Also [[Valgavoth the Terror Eater]] that I run in my Kefka. Kefka is my only deck that can put up a fight against this guy and I usually only play him bracket 4 against regular pods. He’s reanimator so he doesn’t have any of the two card combos and he only has 3 game changers so technically it’s bracket 3 on paper which I feel that’s where all of this guys decks live. Kefka still is running a 15% win rate

[[Fire Lord Zuko]] I play a decent amount of control/blue decks and I’m still looking at lethal turn 5/6 he’s talking about adding [[Drainith Magistrate]] so when he airheads my stuff I can’t pay 2 anymore to get them back they are just gone. It’s already usually too much for me to handle.

Sorry I don’t have the Zuko list

[[Henzie, Toolbox Torre]] Again, graveyard shutdown is my only answer. If I don’t draw into it I die. It does normal henzie things just the best possible Henzie things that an on paper bracket 3 can do.

[[Oloro, Ageless Ascetic]] gains too much life, had to explain when he first built it he had 15 two card combos. I think he took out half of them? My Zethi deck can win I think on paper because it’s Voltron but I haven’t won yet.

I’ve had a talk with him and instead of 1500 dollar decks I brought him down to 700/800 but it hasn’t helped much.

This situation is Im playing 2-3 hour long games. I play for 7 minutes total and do 0 damage (I track our groups stats with playgroup.gg)

The decks I’m looking to improve but stay bracket 3:

[[Eluge, the Shoreless Sea]] I built him token generator, and lots of graveyard instant synergy.

[[Zethi, Arcane Blademaster]] Control Voltron. I slow the game down enough by pillowforting to get 3 good instants in my grave and fight from there.

[[Tameshi, Reality Architect]] Tameshi Reanimates Sagas and enchantments for value. Can go infinite with a [[patron of the moon]] [Lotus bloom]] combo and an infinite with [[Felidar Retreat]] (can’t give the cats haste) also bouncing a ping land infinite times.

[[Gogo, Master of Mimicry]] Copy ramp lands and triggers like [[The Millennium Calendar]], and eldrazi triggers.

I did a random sealed event and I got a combo deck?

I got 2 avatar, 2 secrets of strixhaven, 2 foundations. I pulled dual caster mage from a strixhaven and an electro duplicate from foundations. I don’t think I’ve ever played a sealed combo deck before has this happened to anyone else. I kinda got stomped the first game no card draw but I went 2-1.

Why are people running blink on this guy? Doesn’t proliferate make way more sense?
