I'm all for 'evil white', but I got to agree with Link and Dude. If white is using black mechanics to be evil, then it isn't white; it's black.

I get what you're going for with the idea of Barter in Blood as a white card, and trying to tie it to Balance. But Barter in Blood is a card about genocide. There are no good intentions behind it. Balance is about evening the playing field. The results are similar, but they are not the same.

And I kind of doubt that White would ever make a call to 'Cull the Surplus Population', evil or not. Decreasing the population to increase the spoils is a selfish move, and being selfish is well within black's wheelhouse. White would be far more likely to do evil by refusing to kill its excess population, and instead enslaving everybody. More Stalin than Hitler.

White cannot be evil, since evil is a white concept defined as "not-white." Your morality system (itself a white construct) and your white villain's morality system may not line up, but a white villain will never be on their evil side. What Elesh Norn does is Good. What Konda did is Good.

While the flavor of this card is fine, I don't think the mechanical execution is right. For one thing, all removal, but especially white's spot removal, is getting worse. This should be noticeably worse than a good black removal spell.
