Lethal Vapors lets any player destroy it by skipping their next turn — activate it dozens of times and then cast Teferi's Protection before those abilities resolve, phasing out of everything while opponents are forced to skip turn after turn or die to the stack. Grand Abolisher is the glue: it shuts off instant-speed interaction during the setup window so nothing can stop Teferi's Protection from landing. The combo lives in Orzhov stax shells, typically helmed by something like Zur the Enchanter or Liesa, Shroud of Dusk, where disrupting the table is the gameplan from turn one.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Silence or Orim's Chant can substitute for Grand Abolisher in the same role if the 2/2 body draws removal before the turn cycle. The combo has no fail state once Teferi's Protection resolves — the only real window to stop it is a counterspell on the Protection itself, which is why Abolisher or a hard counter of your own to protect it is non-negotiable.
