Been playing this a bit now in Modern. It's actually a very capable competitive deck. Surprisingly capable.

Not really settled on a Sideboard. And a couple of Maindeck slots I keep swapping up, like the exact number of BoP, Hierarch, Searches.

Basically the deck is just looking to assemble Silence on an Isochron Scepter with a Teferi, Time Raveler in play and the mana available to activate the Scepter on opponent's upkeep. This locks them out of playing spells indefinitely and basically wins the game. It's possible to assemble the full combo lock out and engage the engine by turn 3 with a hand of a Dork, Teferi, Scepter, Silence, and 3 lands. Usually you have to play more of a tempo game plan and slow roll engaging the engine by stalling with Remands or extra early Silences, but it's very consistent. Closing out is usually then done with Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, but the dorks can often get you there too with Teferi clearing the way for them.
