I wouldn't play this, but...

Play every spell that's not Dovescape, then play Dovescape. The only way to break the Leyline/Preserver/Angel/Immunity tandem is through boardwipe spells - which would be countered. Maybe it's not game over... but you're not going to lose. The best part is each step of this combo makes it easier to get the other steps in play, by restricting their options.

Add Guile for more tokens on your side.

Any creature with targeted effect like Mangara of Corondor, Monk Realist, Riftwing Cloudskate or Devout Witness will get rid of Dovescape, so you need something like 2 Sterling Grove or Greater Auramancy in play to give Dovescape shroud. Then only not targeted effects like granted by Magus of the Disk, Root Greevil or Nova Cleric will be a fraud.
At least you need the Emblem of Elspeth, Knight-Errant.

This doesn't help against Kederekt Leviathan, Waterspout Elemental, Myojin of Cleansing Fire, Dread Cacodemon, Novablast Wurm, Desolation Giant, Bane of the Living, any Pestilence Creature (Demon, Rats etc.), Child of Alara or Ixidron or some other creatures to break your combo.
Therefore you need something to prevent your opp. to cast creature spells...Invoke Prejudice slows your opp down,  Llawan, Cephalid Empress and Painter's Servant works well.

At the end, your opponent plays Boseiju, Who Shelters All and you implement the lock of Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir and Knowledge Pool.

Also things that can't be countered, like the new supreme verdict.

Timestop and Ertai's Meddling can still deal with those.

101.2. When a rule or effect allows or directs something to happen, and another effect states that it can’t happen, the “can’t” effect takes precedence.

Spiderman is right, CAN'T BE CONTERED wins. But if the Teferi Pool lock is there even Time Stop and Meddling cannot be cast

Ertai's Meddling doesn't so much counter is it does suspend. Time Stop exiles the spells on the stack from the game. Neither are "counter". Thus Supreme Verdict is negated without being countered. As Supremely dissapointing as it sounds.

To clarify, I'm talking only about noncounterables, I think that is where the mix up happened and I'll try to be more clear in the future.

That's a fair point. I'll be sure to worry about these handful of cards that I've never once had to deal with in Legacy format when I (don't) play this combo. /:)
