So I've been running into a lot of Kozilek, the Great Distortion decks lately and was wondering what might be some good cards to weaken or even cripple the deck?
Damping Sphere , Stony Silence , Null Rod and Collector Ouphe would buy you alotttt of time and be useful vs other cards. Even a simple Pithing Needle effect stops it.

Key is to run cards that are flexible vs multiple decks instead of targeted purely for 1 card.

I would say probably run a lot of stuff that hates on multiple Mana producing things. What goodair suggested, but also think graveyard hate (make them reconsider discarding cards if they'll need them), Vexing Shusher / Leyline of Lifeforce / Prowling Serpopard if you're running lots of creatures and also Megrim and other self discard hate enchantments. You can also top that off with targeted discard spells like Thoughtseize , Duress , etc and make sure they don't have the right converted Mana cost to counter your next move.
It also depends on what colors you're running. Like each color will have it's own answers obviously.

Also, Karn, the Great Creator is very good against Kozilek decks. My Kozilek deck (that I built 2 years ago!!!) has been finally tuned, with the exception of whether or not I want to fit in Mystic Forge and if I do, what to replace for it...And every time someone plays a Damping Sphere , Stony Silence (or other effects like it), Grand Abolisher , Bane of Progress / Aura Shards ...I feel very saddened because the hate is so deliberate. Hence the reason I put more money into the deck and allowed me to hopefully impact the board a lot faster before those cards even matter. So be prepared for that if you bring a lot of hate. Cheers!

Don't forget tapdown effects. If you're in green, Root Maze will slow colorless decks down to a crawl.
