First Strike is red and white, and Deathtouch is black and green, so this should always be in-color. I realize this could be expanded into any number of color combinations, but I think these two keywords work particularly well together. Sure, it's ugly as sin, but it's very efficient.
Simple and cool idea. I don’t think it would look that bad, but lets see...
Poisoned Swipe?

yay, my second card graphic ever. Since you have to pay multiple colors it is still technically a gold card, right?

This is one of the cards with multiple hybrid costs I like, but I still don't like multiple hybrid costs... I like it better than cards that cost   though.
Everything Mown does is elegant.

Okay. As we all know, there comes a time in every designer's life where they feel the need to go hog-wild with hybrid mana. At least I can do it in the privacy of my own thread...

This could so be mono-black. It's not that much of a stretch, just flavor it as a surprise attack. Ridged Kusite  .

Yeah; that'd be cool as a modified Terror  that requires an attacking creature to work. BB is good, but I think you could drop it to B (though it would be really high on the curve.)

It's a bit of a stretch, but I think some clever Vorthosing could pull it off. I'll keep it in mind for a combat based set, should I ever choose to make one...

Bad example. Better one: Stillmoon Cavalier  .

Mine isn't really a bad example. It's just not as good as the Cavalier.

actually, neither's a very good example. one's from planar chaos, and the other is an homage to an old card we don't tend to see any more.
120.6. Some effects replace card draws.

Not everything from Planar Chaos is against Magic design. Actually, very little from planar chaos is.

enough of Planar Chaos is blatantly violating the color pie or at least well outside the norms that you really can't take it as a valid case.
for the record, outside of TS block, there are three mono-black card that have, gain, or grant first strike. (not counting emberstrike duo  and fists of the demigod  . I think we can agree those don't count.) they are a very old fan favorite  , an homage to another iconic old card  , and whatever the hell yawgmoth demon is  .  for comparison, there are 5 in TS block, including four in planar chaos and one as a reference to Nekrataal.
so of all the black first strike cards in extended, half are in Planar Chaos. I think this should say something.
