I made a few changes to try and make it more ealry game freindly and also assist in locking down the late game. Yes the contaminated ground are still in and yes they are still maindeck.

+3 Vampire Nighthawk
+4 Searing Spear
+1 Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
+1 Sphere of Safety

-1 Obzedat, Ghost Council
-1 Lingering Souls
-1 Blind Obedience
-1 Boros Reckoner
-1 Liliana of the Veil
 
I think thats all of it.

Other than the the sideboard is still loose untill I can play with it. Slaughter Games and both knights are about it for now.

Any HELPFUL comments are still greatly apreciated.

Edit: Last minue actually

-1 more Liliana
-1 Terminus

for 2 more Boros Reckoner.

These comments have all been helpful, if not in the way you hoped.

Contaminated Ground is bad because:

1) you are banking on them not needed black mana.
2) you need it early to have any effect, and it can be ignored after that player has found another land.
3) Good aggro decks are not built greedily (lots of double color dudes) so they will just pay the 2 life and use it as colorless, or just drop another land and ignore it.
3) It is a completely dead card late game.
4) It does not deal with any threats already on the board.
 

Spreading Seas was played because it is a cantrip and there were lots of spell-lands and manlands it dealt with. Contaminated Grounds is like a fart in an airplane: annoying, rude, but ultimately has no impact on the flight.

Once again, contaminated ground cannot be played, PERIOD

Some other 2 drop suggestions:

Devour Flesh = Get rid of Geist of Saint Traft
Rakdos's Return
Sign in Blood

The list was updated; Contaminated Ground is no longer in. Devour Flesh is in the sideboard right now and may shift in and out depending on the meta. Rakdos's Return is already a 2-of in the deck. As for Sign in Blood , currently the deks ealry game has been dedicated to removal. And with 4 Boros Reckoner the double black is alittle tricky turn anway. And to be honest im just not sure where it would fit. Any suggestions? With that being said though ill go ahead and list what im starting to consider for sideboard

Blasphemous Act - Great with reckoner and even without relying on my oponents strategy cards like Lingering Souls and Assemble the Legion makes it reasonable to cast on my own. Maybe 1 or two against aggro and wheenie decks.

Devour Flesh - Obvious; hexproof tech

Knight of Infamy - Tech against White decks

Knight of Glory - Against Black decks

Rest in Peace - Again, obvious

Zealous Conscripts - Not sure if it fits in this deck but maybe one or two against decks running fatties and planeswalkers?

Slaughter Games - good for anything unexpected I dont like playing against
