This is a tweak of Nekrataal, better because it can kill black creatures and indestructibles, but worse because you need a hand full of black cards and it usually can't deal with huge creatures.

Do Swamps count as black cards?

run with instant speed discard for flash, and you have a very nice combat trick, having first strike makes it able to block and kill attacking creatures with toughness of X+2
I'd say this is one of the most assassin/ninja like cards in the game. Very cool card!

No, lands are considered colourless. Unless there is another effect causing cards to be coloured in different zones (Such as Painter's Servant choosing black). Even if there is an effect allowing you to reveal a Swamp as a black card, it's converted mana cost is zero, causing the targeted creature to get -0/-0 until end of turn...which would be useless unless there's something like Cowardice on the battlefield, or an opponent's Cursed Monstrosity
Nonetheless this is a really good and versatile card, fits into Madness decks and very few black creatures have first strike. Even if it isn't in a deck built around some of it's mechanics it's still an excellent card.
EDIT: Foot in mouth.
