Contamination doesn't beat depths outright because it only affects lands when they tap for mana.
You can still hardcast Hexmage or activate stage using Black mana so Contamination doesn't stop it.
It does stop RUG from casting spells, but then, so does moon. I think the problem with this deck is that it's not clear what the advantages are over just playing the red version. The plan A of "my opponent can't cast any spells because their lands don't work" has absolutely no cohesion with the plan B of "I'm going to discard all of my opponent's cards"
