Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker and Black Cat, Noxious Toad, Chimney Imp, what have you. Plus if you add Grave Pact to the mix...things can get pretty messy from there. And all could be possible in EDH.

Yeah seriously, the new ophiomancer combod with this thing in your mono black deck is an absolute instant win. All opponents immediately give up, it's so much fun.

A grevious example of lack of playtesting. You know, it took me a total of two seconds after reading the card that this was stupidly powerful for its very simple combos. Cards that lock out your opponent from every playing spells again are no fun, especially if it comes from an easy to pull off combo. When it's at least a three card combo that runs some risk to yourself, at least then the opponent can feel like you trumped him in a sporting manner, and respect you for the victory.
However...
Contamination + Breeding Pit = Opponent can never cast a spell again, if he's not playing black.
Contamination + Squirrel Nest = Opponent can never cast a spell again, if he's not playing black.
Contamination + Awakening Zone = Opponent can never cast a spell again, if he's not playing black.
These combos are as easy to pull off as Painter's Servant + Grindstone.
Shame on you, Wizard... (see all)

Really... listen to everyone else here, run this with ophiomancer. It's just delightful. 5/5

The very best part: enchantment destruction doesn't take it down, because you can't even pay for said enchantment destruction. Essentially, if you have the creatures to keep it going, unless your opponent is playing as black deck, it's all over.

You aren't reading it right. It dosen't make Swamps tap for double mana. It makes all lands tap for one black mana. Could be pretty efective against some non-black, non-artifact decks. Combos great with Breeding Pit

WOW. Play this thing in multi-player and watch everyone attempt to kill you as swiftly as possible, hahah.
Excellent enchantment, completely hoses your opponent if they don't have a way of converting mana and/or getting rid of this piece of evil as quickly as possible. At 3CC, it is a STEAL. I want one!
5/5
