Contested Game Ball 

2

Artifact 

Whenever you're dealt combat damage, the attacking player gains control of Contested Game Ball and untaps it. 

2, tap: Draw a card and put a point counter on Contested Game Ball. Then if it has five or more point counters on it, sacrifice it and create a Treasure token. 
The card references the Mesoamerican ballgame, which is known in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, as ōllamaliztli or tlachtli. In Classical Mayan, it was known as pitz. Ulama, is a ball game played in Mexico that’s a descendant of the aforementioned ballgame, and is regarded as one of the oldest continuously played sports in the world and as the oldest known game using a rubber ball. (Rubber originated in the Americas.)
