Cumulative upkeep-Gain control of a land you don't control.
Herald of Leshrac gets +1/+1 for each land you control but don't own.
When Herald of Leshrac leaves the battlefield, each player gains control of each land he or she owns that you control.

Looking at all the black cards that have the phrase "gain control", it's not as if black had a ton of this to begin with. There are 15 mono- cards that gain control of stuff on board. A number of these are vampire cards, which will probably still get it for flavour reasons. Most others are old and obscure, or gain control of stuff you gave away in the first place Flip. Or they are Herald of Leshrac, which is a weird card even for Coldsnap standards. So no big loss, and even then, it's still just MaRo who sad that.

Herald of Leshrac is an absolute must grab for fun upkeep triggers, it let's you forcibly slow down the players who've ramped up, while giving yourself advantage. It also doesn't target, so it gets around hexproof and nobody will know what you're taking until you do.

The Nephilim. Especially Dune-Brood Nephilim. I'd love to see what kind of shenanighans I can pull off with it and Herald of Leshrac.

Cavern of Souls best tribal land.
Kindred Discovery value.
Kindred Summons more value.
Herald of Leshrac seems incredible in a 5 color deck.
World Queller really unique effect and fits the tribe.

+1 for including Herald of Leshrac and using one of the original legends.
Not much i see to add here but Steel of the Godhead would be useful

Very cool build! I always found Nethroi to be the most interest of the big Mutate critters, and I hadn't thought of the combo with Scourge of the Skyclaves - very clever!
A while back I made a deck around Grenzo, Dungeon Warden that was also concerned with featuring lots of nasty critters with 2 or less power, particularly if they actually had a lot higher power than that once they were in play. Some other bruisers you can reanimate for free include Arcbound Overseer, Nighthowler, Noosegraf Mob and Sewer Nemesis - they might be worth considering! Archfiend's Vessel also feels like a shoo-in, only using up one point of power but leaving you with a huge flyer.
I found it was also handy to have little creatures who could impact the board upon arrival, namely via some handy removal. Bone Shredder, Big Game Hunter and Duplicant feel like superior choices, though there are plenty out there.
There are a couple other nasty low-power critters I'd recommend - Herald of Leshrac can really rule the board (though he draws a lot of fire) and Doom Weaver seems like a great opportunity to draw a lot of cards. I hope some of these ideas help!

Not one people usually consider but fits in with your theme of steal stuff: Herald of Leshrac, Worst Fears, Mindslaver.
I love theft game play. If your looking for more inspiration check out Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Sen Triplets)
Good luck out there.
