[Deck] Contaminated Blossoms

[schorchi]

Hi!
I want to build a deck with "Contamination" from the Urza's Saga set.
The current list came in my mind as I saw a Vintage deck on DeckCheck, performed very well a few years ago: http://www.deckcheck.net/deck.php?id=3866

so here it is:

Mainboard:
4 Myr Servitor (keep Contamination)
4 Myr Retriever (keep Contamination)
4 Arcbound Ravager (win option)
4 Dark Confidant (draw extra cards, very important)
4 Disciple of the Vault (he dees much of lifeloss, not only with Ravager, also with Contamination, Cabal Therapy)

4 Contamination (most decks can't play anything with this card on the table)
4 Bitterblossom (keeping Contamination und beating with Plating or Jitte)
4 Dark Ritual (acceleration)
4 Cabal Therapy (worked fine for me with this setup and Disciple)
4 Cranial Plating (win much faster)
2 Umezawa's Jitte (gaining some extra life and other cool actions)
//42

Lands:
6 Swamp
4 Blinkmoth Nexus (fly above your enemies with Cranial Plating attached)
4 Darksteel Citadel
4 Vault of Whispers
//18


Sideboard:
4 Engineered Plague
4 Pithing Needle
4 Executioner's Capsule
3 Tormod's Crypt
//15

See the explainations behind the cards. The Sideboard is very basic, it might be improved.
I didn't test the deck very much, maybe you can give it a try or you have some other ideas an thoughts about this deck and especially Contamination.

Welcome to The Source. have you thought about playing the new card Bloodghast from Zendikar, it seems like a good fit.

A friend of mine already played a deck like this (you can find it here (http://www.deckcheck.net/deck.php?id=21751)), but without Myr Servitor or Myr Retriever which don´t do much on their own and without Contamination. The 3rd Umezawa´s Jitte also seems to be really important for me!

I guess the bigger question is why would you play this over a Pox Strategy?
