Deck discussion for Aztec

That's funny. A little while back I was working (pretty hard) on an Aztec concept deck, with sacrifice as a main aspect. I was trying to make it historically accurate though: no steel/iron weapons, no fantasy creatures, little to no magic; lots of traps, sacrifice, snakes, eagles, jaguars, stone buildings, obsidian weapons, ...

I eventually gave up because MTG simply doesn't have enough adequate cards.

Anywho, onto this deck! I'd ditch the Contaminated Ground for 2 more sacrificable creatures, perhaps low CMC ones, Festering Goblin or Newt or whatever, anything your opponent doesn't want to see die.
I love Act of Treason in this deck! Steal a creature, then either sacrifice it or use it to wreak havoc. Nice :-)

Festering Newt is only worth it if i get Bogbrew Witch, and Festering Goblin isn't as good as Blistergrub.
Besides, Contaminated Ground early on can fuck over an opponents' mana curve.

Ye but Blistergrub is 3 cmc, you barely have any 1 cmc creatures; that slows you down as well. Personally, I wouldn't be stopped by 2 life loss from tapping a land. Contaminated ground is nice, but best used in a dedicated deck. I've got one built totally around mana poisoning, and it's a winner deck!

Just my thoughts :-)

it's better than -1/-1 til EOT. there's not any 1-2 drops with worthwhile dying abilities.
