How It Works:
Use the Careful Studies, Mongrels, and Researchers to get cards in you graveyard early, then use the Fact or Fictions to get the cards you need and perhaps finish off your threshold. Get the incarnations in your graveyard if blockers are giving you trouble.
Centaur Chieftain is a great finisher with threshold and Wonder, as is Krosan Beast. Never play Krosan Beast before you have threshold, and be sure to leave an Island or Coast untapped along with a Circular Logic to deal with any creature kill the opponents might have.
I almost never play more than four to five lands (unless my opponent is running land destruction), then I can discard the rest.
The deck's record at our local Friday Night Magic tournaments is 10-6-0.
