This was a Teferi deck. I won't delete the description so...

(Before suggesting cards, read the the p.s at the end of this description. Thank you!).

The soft-lock: Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir + Omen Machine.

The hard-lock: Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir + Knowledge Pool.

The siege: Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir + Knowledge Pool + Omen Machine.

Worthy mention: Venser, Shaper Savant + Deadeye Navigator.

Combos

(Infinite mana): Deadeye Navigator + Palinchron.

(Infinite turns): Archaeomancer + Time Stretch + Riptide Laboratory (or Evacuation, if you have enough mana). Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir will make this uncounterable.

There are other combos and notable interactions, but I believe the above are the main ones.

Ramp (12): Commander's Sphere, Fellwar Stone, Mana Vault, Mana Crypt, Mind Stone, Worn Powerstone, Sol Ring, Thran Dynamo, Gilded Lotus, Sapphire Medallion, Caged Sun, Grim Monolith.

Deck Manipulation/Tutors (13): Long-Term Plans, Mystical Tutor, Drift of Phantasms, Sensei's Divining Top, Ethereal Usher, Treasure Mage. Trinket Mage, Thassa, God of the Sea, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Teferi, Temporal Archmage, Tezzeret the Seeker, Fabricate, Ponder.

Draw (13): Blue Sun's Zenith, Brainstorm, Dig Through Time, Fact or Fiction, Stroke of Genius. Consecrated Sphinx, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Rhystic Study, Mystic Remora, Jace Beleren, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Teferi, Temporal Archmage, Ponder.

Counterspells (13): Arcane Denial, Counterspell, Cryptic Command, Dissipate. Dissolve, Faerie Trickery, Forbid, Force of Will, Hinder, Pact of Negation, Rewind, Swan Song, Power Sink.

Utility (12): Cyclonic Rift, Evacuation, Halimar Depths, Riptide Laboratory, Reliquary Tower, Trickbind, Capsize, Sculpting Steel, Phyrexian Metamorph, Dissipation Field, Leyline of Anticipation, High Tide.

P.S: Some choices are based purely on my metagame, others are just preference (I really like Power Sink in decisive situations, for example). Others, to say it bluntly, are just a problem of money (like the absence of Transmute Artifact and so on...). Keep that in mind when suggesting additions to the deck. Thank you!
