{Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir} + {Knowledge Pool}

You get to cast everything.  Nobody else does.

I don't see how this locks them down. They can still cast the exiled cards on their turn.

"Any time your could cast a sorcery" means "During your main phase when the stack is empty".  Because knowledge Pool's ability is still on the stack when you cast the new spell, it's not a time that you could cast a sorcery.  It's awkward, but a pain to play against.

OOOHH that's pretty mean. I had a hard time reading into that as well, but it makes sense now.

Eon hub is irrelevant here due to the fact that the upkeep and untap steps are two different phases

Eon hub is there so you don't have to pay the upkeep of stasis.

It's not a 100% lock but {isochron scepter} and {orim's chant} is bitch.  And yes you can still kick the orim's if played from isochron
