Lethal Vapors lets any player skip their next turn to destroy it, so activating it an arbitrarily large number of times before Wipe Away bounces it back to hand stacks a mountain of skip-turn triggers on the stack. Teferi's Protection then phases the pilot out until their next turn with an unchangeable life total and protection from everything, leaving opponents to survive an avalanche of skipped turns until their libraries run dry. The combo resolves at instant speed in a Esper shell — the whole line happens before anyone can answer the Vapors once Wipe Away holds their response hostage.

Result
Skip all your future turns, causing your opponents to eventually draw from an empty library and lose the game; You have protection from everything; Your life total can't change; Lock
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Teferi's Protection is irreplaceable here — nothing else grants both protection from everything and an immutable life total at instant speed to survive the resolution window. The weakest link is assembling three specific cards in hand simultaneously; Esper tutors like Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Mystical Tutor can fetch pieces but the combo has no functional substitutes — all three cards are load-bearing.
