This is one of those cards you read and think, how is this not the cornerstone of an eternally top-tier Legacy deck?
Two reasons, really. The easiest way to reach thresh is by discarding your hand, which means you probably won't have anything to cheat into play. And the only way to make this more powerful than Show and Tell is by loading your hand with multiple big creatures. That speaks to the incredibly balanced elegance of this card: incredibly powerful, incredibly delicate.
If you want to break it combo-style, you'll probably want to go Bant for Tolarian Winds and Breakthrough, but don't forget Worldly Tutor / Sylvan Tutor. Putting whatever you want to cheat into play on the top of your library lets you ditch your hand, hit thresh, and then draw into your free drop. Breaking it control-style seems promising, but it's harder to hit threshhold in that kind of build. Breaking it ... (see all)

I imagine the easiest way to use this card is with the recent Golgari prints: Drown in Filth and Grisly Salvage. That combined with a non-crucial dredge engine (such as Life from the Loam locks) could get you just enough interaction in the early game to ensure a later game.
Worth a try for how cheap it is anyway. I imagine it'd be easier to use than a Nic Fit engine, it's also helped and tutorable with Commune with the Gods. The difference is with Nic Fit you have a very select style to build around; where as this just requires a few pieces of fat and a long game; IMO.
