Black/red multicolor really does get gypped on its Raise the Alarm.

Indeed. Maybe 3 creatures, considering its a multicolor spell?

three creatures would enhance the synergy of the card - 3 Mana, 3 Life, 3 Creatures. 3 mana, 3 life, 2 creatures just feels like a rip-off - like you are being short-changed.

It may just be me but when I read the title I think about hark fishing and Chumming the waters - where you throw chopped up bloody fish/meat bits into the water to attract them. As a result I was expecting a blue/black card that created fish tokens (Wizards-Bring back the Shark creature type, they don't deserve to be lumped in with mere fish).

I was expecting shark-bait, but in red/black I'd expect goblins: they were used that way a lot in Jund IIRC.

(And yeah, I'd expect it to be stronger or cheaper than this, but casting costs for multiple creatures have never really been nailed down, so it's hard to say for sure. Neither colour gets flash easily (?) so that could explain why it's expensive, if it exists at all)
