While Contamination is probably the stronger of the two, this still has some shenanigans you can pull to set your opponent back forever or at least a very long time. Eon Hub has been mentioned already, so rude.
Other things that help it stay in play: Vampire Hexmage, Hex Parasite, Power Conduit

This is a (somewhat) balanced Contamination. Yes, its worse, but Contamination is very unhealthy to the game (and friendships) unless you're playing in a super high power format. This acts like Contamination should have: it will cut your opponents options down for a few turns, but then the cost will become unsustainable, so its just a stall device. Of course, this is still breakable with Eon Hub or Hex Parasite, and even without that the effect is pretty strong, but not as unbelievably degenerate and "easiest lock ever" as Contamination.
