What a fun card- given how he changes the rules,
it's kind of ironic how well he combos with Paradigm Shift
(which costs half what Thought Lash does).
Convoluted, but possible first round Vintage win:
Swamp
+Dark Ritual
+Black Lotus (Blue Mana)
+Laboratory Maniac
+Tormod's Crypt, sac to empty your graveyard
+Paradigm Shift
+Ancestral Recall
-----------------------
Draw Paradigm Shift, Win Game.

Or just swamp, black lotus, laboratory maniac, Demonic Consultation and Gitaxian Probe. Too bad this is a 5-card turn1 combo with 2 cards restricted...

Winning with this dude in limited is the greatest feeling in the world. Deck him up with Unburial Rites, Memory's Journey, Runic Repetition, and all the self-mill you can get your hands on. Combine with durdley but effective removal that beatdown decks won't touch, like Ghostly Possession and Chant of the Skifsang, since they usually go late - just like this guy. Then watch your clock (if you're online) because your matches will be taking 15-20 minutes each, and enjoy winning in style!
