About Contamination

Contamination, Enchantment, designed by Stephen Daniele first released in Oct, 1998 in the set Urza's Saga and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Duel Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 8.69. It's a key card in 4 combos.

Contamination is a powerful card that can be beneficial in a mono-black deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures for value and disrupting opponents' mana bases. However, it may not be the best choice for all decks as it requires careful deck construction to ensure a steady supply of creatures to sacrifice. Other cards like Blood Moon or Bloodchief Ascension may offer similar disruption effects with less downside, making them potentially better options depending on the specific deck strategy. Ultimately, the decision to include Contamination in a deck should be based on how well it synergizes with the overall game plan and whether the potential benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
