A tweaked version of the deck that Shota Yasooka made Top 16 with at Grand Prix Kobe 2014.

Deck Tech with his original list here: http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/gpkob14/deck-tech-shota-yasooka-2014-08-23

Dig Through Time is a nice add to the deck, and it works well enough with Thirst for Knowledge and Liliana of the Veil. I still question Notion Thief in my sideboard against decks that would run Treasure Cruise because of its mana cost, so it may return to being a second Sower of Temptation.

-1 Slaughter Pact, +1 Monastery Siege

At least in my local meta, with Podless Abzan being more of a thing, Slaughter Pact is really bad against Siege Rhino. On the other hand, it is still very good against Tarmogoyf and lands like Stirring Wildwood or Treetop Village, so I might put it back in the deck.

On the other side, Yasooka mentioned in his deck tech at GP Kobe 2014 that Burn was a bad matchup. Hopefully, Monastery Siege can help mitigate that, but I'm also keeping in mind that maybe that won't even be helpful. Also hoping that a different matchup occurs where I want to bring in the Siege for the Khans option. I guess we'll see.
