Control the board with Terminus and spot removal, win with either Snapcaster/Colonnade beatdown or with Teferi/Narset/Puzzle Box locking the oppnent out of the game.

Cryptic Command + Mystic Sanctuary can provide a nice soft-lock; Cast the Cryptic Command, bounce the Mystic Sanctuary back to hand & tap down their creatures. Then replay the Mystic Sanctuary and put the Cryptic Command back on top of the library; rinse and repeat. A second Cryptic and/or a planeswalker to re-draw it the same turn make this a pretty solid lock every turn.

Narset, Parter of Veils & Teferi's Puzzle Box is another soft lock; they untap, upkeep, draw, put their hand on the bottom and then can't re-draw any more cards. If Teferi, Time Raveler is in play then they can't Instant-speed cast anything in response to the ability going on the stack so they are locked out of the game completely.

The Royal Scions and Celestial Colonnade paired up make for a quick beatdown over a few turns, a 6/4 Flying First-Strike Trample Vigilance creature is nice but be sure to have enough mana up to protect it if needs be. Throwing a 4/1 First-Strike Trample Snapcaster Mage at the opponent is also hilarious. It's also entirely possible to win with the -8 if the game has gone well.

Sideboard options are fairly standard for Modern, just a little hate on most of the popular things .
