This builds a pretty solid lockout.  It's still vulnerable to O-Ring or other non-creature artifact or enchantment trigger, but will otherwise win it for you on resolution.  Resolve a hypergenesis through your choices of how.  First thing to put out from it is the Torpor Orb, this will prevent your opponent from doing anything if their creatures have an EtB trigger.  Next is put out Teferi, Archon, and Pool in your choice of order.

The Pool and Teferi create a lockout so your opponent can't cast spells, Archon will prevent their creatures from attacking.  The only threats from this Flashback cards as Knowledge Pool doesn't interact with them, triggers from things other than creatures entering, being milled out, or something crazy like Humility.

What if they choose not to play a permanent?

Spidy, they are not allowed to cast spells due to the Teferi/Pool lock, so the decision is not up to them.

They can put Artifacts, Enchantments, or Creatures in from the Hypergenesis, but if they don't they won't be able to get any more permanent unless they have a really far out way to get rid of one of your cards that's blocking them.  They can Flashback and Unearth, but not much else, and a Grafdiger's Cage would take care of that option.

But Hypergenesis says "put", not "cast". Because of that, they can keep their permanent, no?

 they don't have to put a permanent out during hypergenesis,  however, as long as someone does hyper keeps going until all players stop putting things out.

yes they can keep their permanenent if the hyper resolves after knowledge pool.  since you are putting something into play, it does get around the lock.  However the idea is to play they hyper to put the lock into place all at once, not to play it once established.
