"At the beginning of your upkeep, if you haven't sacrificed a creature named ~ this turn, sacrifice a creature named ~." Technically that lets you sac it to something else before the trigger resolves, but you probably don't care.
This seems pretty expensive though. 5 mana for a 2/2 and a 1/1, with only the 1/1 able to attack. 7 mana for two 3/3s and a 1/1, but they only attack as two 2/2s. 9 mana for what attacks as three 3/3s. In order to even get up to square stats you need to pay 9 mana. That's not really mythic power level.
I think you should keep the swarm cost but take the mana cost all the way down to .
Black and red. Collateral Damage is a recent example. This card is more red than black because of its power-toughness imbalance.
In draft, gaining control of and then sacrificing creatures is blue-red's strategy.
Oh sorry, right, yes. I forgot which set this was in. I remember I did think it look like you'd provided enough ways to deal with it when I looked at this set in the past.
One of the majors themes of the block and definitely of this set in particular is indestructible. The whole point is to get indestructible creatures down at common, especially given the tools I give each color to cope with its strong presence.

I know this set has a theme of indestructible, but this looks much more like a green card than a black one to me.

Hmm. That seems more like a black drawback.

It must've been a mistake to make it two mana.
