So I saw some mention of a "combo" with Teferi's Protection, Lethal Vapors, and Grand Abolisher. I didn't see much of an explanation for how it worked, so I'm hoping someone here could explain to me how this interaction would work. Thanks!

You cast Grand Abolisher and Lethal Vapors and then activate Lethal Vapors a bunch of times in response to the ability (so it doesn't get destroyed just yet). Then, you cast Teferi's Protection to phase all your stuff out and give yourself Protection from Everything. The idea is that you skip 100 turns (or whatever number) and then just let your opponents finish each other off since they can't attack you or do much to you.
Grand Abolisher is there is prevent anyone from activating the Lethal Vapors in response to your activation. That way you can skip a bunch of turns while they are forced to play out the game and, ultimately, deck themselves.
This isn't a hard lock by any means as there are ways around it, but that is a discussion for a different thread as it doesn't really fit in this forum.

Doesnt this cause you opponent(s) to deck him/herself when used like a 1000 times...?
Yes, as WizardMN pointed out above, assuming they have no way to win the game through your protection and without changing your life total, and no way to prevent themselves from being decked, it would.
The rules question has been answered, so I'm locking this thread to prevent strategy discussion, as it could be quite tempting to go into that here.
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
