Woah! I do not think this is a properly red effect. That's a lot of card advantage for red.

Better. Now I realize, though, that it's not black at all. Black does not get artifact or enchantment destruction.

In fact, this wouldn't fit in any hybrid that I can see.

Blue/green gold, maybe. No single color gets both card draw and artifact removal.

The flavor is after a battle, the generals collect the broken clay from the battlefield so they can make new Ushabti. How it translates mechanically can differ

I don't care about the flavor. You shouldn't break the color pie because of flavor. If it were all about flavor, there would be no color pie. Black doesn't destroy artifacts.
You could, perhaps, change it to "destroy all artifact creatures," and that would only feel strange without actually breaking the pie. It would bend the law without breaking it, I think.

Making it artifact creatures could work in red/black hybrid. Red gets artifact removal and Wheel of Fortune effects, while black gets creature removal and giving up one resource for another. Looting isn't black but drawing based on your graveyard should be.

jeez, I mean I'm open to suggestions, no need to be annoyed =/

damage-kill seems both red or black, and discard draw cards is pretty red/black

I'm not annoyed. I apologize. I'm just not good at sounding friendly through text. I didn't mean to sound harsh.
