The plan here is to take advantage of Teferi, Temporal Archmage's -1 ability to untap mana rocks and high-value lands in order to generate large amounts of mana while simultaneously locking down opponents with Stasis, Winter Orb, and Static Orb. Counterspells, spot removal and board wipes that don't hit Planeswalkers help protect you until you can either assemble an instant-win combo, or just steal someone else's wincon with Acquire, Bribery, Knowledge Exploitation, Thada Adel, Acquisitor, Commandeer , Treachery , Blatant Thievery or Clever Impersonator.

Main Combos:

Teferi, Temporal Archmage + Tezzeret the Seeker + The Chain Veil - Endlessly cycle between Teferi's +1 and -1, drawing your entire deck in the process. Gets Tezzeret infinite loyalty, and if you can have enough mana Teferi also goes infinite. Note that you need to be able to make 8 or more mana with one use of Teferi's -1 and two uses of Tezzeret's +1 while still untapping the Veil twice for this to work. This can be done with Rings of Brighthearth instead of Tezzeret by doubling Teferi's untap triggers.

UPDATE: This is actually possible with just Teferi and the Veil. The Veil is retroactive for 'walkers that enter the field after it's been used, so you can just spam Teferi's -1 (untapping the veil each time) until he dies and use the mana generated to recast him. The newly returned Teferi will have an extra activation for each time the Veil was used, so you can +1 him until you run out and then run him down with the veil again, recast, and repeat.

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth - Infinite colorless mana.

High Tide + Palinchron - Infinite mana. Also works with Caged Sun.

Arcanis the Omnipotent + Mind Over Matter - Functionally infinite draws and mana.

Enter the Infinite + Omniscience - Play any/everything in your deck. Usually followed up with Laboratory Maniac and any draw spell to win on the spot.

Blue Sun's Zenith + Laboratory Maniac - Use with an infinite mana combo to draw your deck and win on the spot. BSZ can also be used in conjunction with infinite mana to force someone else to deck out, and the Maniac is an instant win combined with any other infinite draw combo.

Infinite mana can also be used with Capsize to bounce everyone else's permanents.

I'm currently looking for Karn Liberated and Sensei's Divining Top to add to the deck.

Suggestions are welcome!
