Contagion Clasp or Contagion Engine?
Deck Help forum

For my snow-whites-poision-apple-extravaganza-1 deck, which card would fit better? I think Engine would be better late game but the clasp is much, much easier to cast.
Any thoughts would be awesome!
depends on the situation. for longer games, id go contagion engine for the -1/-1 on everything. if its a quick deck, play the clasp for quick proliferate. better idea tho is throne of geth. its always good for after clasp or engine has been tapped.

It's a toss-up between speed and power, really. Clasp is cheaper, but you only get the one -1/-1 and proliferate once a turn. Engine hits all your opponents creatures and proliferates TWICE every turn, but costs much more. And Throne is the speediest without a doubt, if you don't mind either losing some field prescence or only proliferating once.
I think Legendinc has the right idea here, playing a mix of them. For your curve, I'd say 2-3 Throne of Geth , 1-2 Contagion Clasp

thts wht i play in my deck. it all depends on how the deck plays. if its control, id go engine, but any other deck id try to find a happy medium between clasp and throne tht works for ur deck.

i play 2 contagion-clasps and 1 Contagion Engine personally.
and i would play more if i had room, because i can use their abilities soooooooooooo easily with my two Everflowing Chalice . I mean like, honestly, its so fun playing those cards with Chalice.
so if you have the land, or find a way to get the mana, i'd play both.
