Description of deck by Frank Karsten @ www.wizards.com (quoted):
This deck pretty much guarantees a turn-four kill (sometimes turn-five) if played and mulliganned correctly, disregarding opposing disruption. A sample draw:

Turn zero: Mulligan the opening hand because it did not contain two lands, a discard enabler creature, and either a dredge card or another discard enabler creature. Keep the six-card hand because it has lands, a Thought Courier, and a Stinkweed Imp. Don't be afraid to mulligan down to three or four cards; you can net a turn-four kill with a hand consisting of Magus of the Bazaar, Island, and Golgari Grave-Troll.
Turn one: Watery Grave, go.
Turn two: Island, Thought Courier.
Turn three: Activate Thought Courier in the upkeep, discarding Stinkweed Imp. You do this in your upkeep, because now you can dredge the Stinkweed Imp in your draw step. Then you play another Thought Courier and a land.
Turn four: In your upkeep, activate both Thought Couriers. You have found a Golgari Grave-Troll for more efficient dredging by now, and mill one Narcomoeba and one Bridge from Below. Dredge the Troll in your draw step as well. In your main phase, you sacrifice all your creatures to Dread Return a Drowned Rusalka. Bridge from Below nets you three Zombies, which you all sacrifice to Drowned Rusalka one by one in order to dig even further in your deck. After doing this—and milling a couple Narcomoebas and Bridge from Belows in the process—your library will now only consist of nine cards. You should have found all the pieces by now, so sacrifice your Drowned Rusalka and two Narcomoebas to Dread Return a Flame-Kin Zealot (giving you lots of zombie tokens), and attack for the kill with lots of hasty zombie tokens.
