This is my reword, I hope it's good with current M:tG rules (I've not been playing at all in these last years).

1) "Cast this spell only during combat after blockers are declared."
This is the Oracle text of Curtain of Light and Flash Foliage and I think you should use it for consistency.

2) "If only one creature is blocking, you may cast this spell without paying its mana cost."
I have not found non-named abilities that straight out change the mana cost. Given that blockers are declared all at once, I think this also works. It is possible that my wording works differently than yours when cards such as Chalice of the Void or Trinisphere are involved. Does it matter?

3.1) "Its owner sacrifices target blocking creature."
If you want the owner of the creature to still be able to activate sorcery-speed effects of the creature you can go back to removing it from combat and then sacrificing it during the end step, but this way it's shorter and more elegant IMO.

EITHER
(3.2a) "As long as they are not being blocked by any other creature or spell effect, all creatures that were being blocked by the target have trample until the end of the combat phase."
OR
(3.2b) "During the next Combat Damage step, all creatures without trample that were only being blocked by the target deal combat damage equal to their power to the controller of the target."

Oh boy, was this tricky. See rule 702.19c for the way trample works in this specific case.
I had also thought about creating a copy of the attacker but then there would have been creatures entering and leaving the battlefield and that's a mess.
I needed to consider multiple blockers, creatures able to block multiple attackers, spells like Curtain of Light that block attackers without there being a blocking creature and I think I remeber there's an instant that can put a creature into play, blocking target creature, so I either added an "As long as" in option a) instead of a plain old "If" or delayed the effect to the combat damage step in option b).

I hope the wording works!

Ok, one last detail that i think is kind of important. The tapping does nothing. So, yeah. If it removed the creature from combat that's good. if it prevented all damage the blocker did, also good. but i don't get how the tapping the blocker helps. I feel like i give you too much criticism. Much better now than it was though.

A trap, eh? That sounds pretty cool. Neat idea. I love your cards. :3

Perhaps You need to add something like, "At the beginning of your upkeep you must sacrifice two creatures or Surrounded".

Maybe make it 'can't attack you and your creatures can't be blocked' so it doesn't make multiplayer super unfun. Otherwise the design is neat. Not sure why it's black, though.

It seems a bit too powerful if you can get your self to eleven or more creatures, especially in a token maker deck, because all creatures beyond the first 10 gain "this creature can't be blocked." I would do something like: "if you control 10 or more creatures, and all creatures you control are untapped," do stuff. But I might be missing the point of the card with that suggestion.
