1x Griselbrand
3x Massacre Wurm
3x Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

I will say your deck does seem built to deal with a certain meta, but I don't know how it would fare in general with no sideborard. Cards can be good but just wrong for a matchup. Also, where's black's reanimation and removal here? Canticle is just too far out. Sol Talisman is suspend three, so if you suspend it turn one it comes down on your turn four. You're not hitting it any quicker than just playing lands and saying go.
Against control matchups with teferi, all of your suspend cards are at risk of being garbage, and you don't really have a way to turn Teferi off. Or pressure it. Or really anything until it's too late. This deck will be great once it's too late, but I don't think in most modern matches it's favored.
