Just for fun: ZMBIE CATS!

Basically a Standard deck, consisting of almost exclusively Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation cards. However I couldn't resist throwing in the M15 Zombie Cat Black Cat. This can easily be substituted with another Cat or Festering Mummy to make it fully Standard.

As is, the key Zombie Cat cards are Adorned Pouncer and Sacred Cat. The addition of Plague Belcher makes it easy to turn them zombie. Also works well with Black Cat, to force the discard if you want. The sacrificial Cat can also set up the Fatal Push (extra funny here, because Push sounds similar to the Dutch word for pussycat. So basically a Fatal Pussy...)

Regal Caracal is a great Cat booster, and all work doubly well with Anointed Procession. Lord of the Accursed boosts both the Zombie Cats and Plague Belcher.

Turn three Plague Belcher is the aim, killing Adorned Pouncer in the process, so it can return on turn five as a 4/4 double strike Zombie Cat :D

Turn 4 and/or 6 can add +1/+1 and lifelink or menace, through Lord of the Accursed or Regal Caracal.

A turn 4 Anointed Procession will make twin Zombie Cats, as well as doubling the amount of Cats or Zombies from Regal Caracal or Liliana's Mastery.

Also plenty of good black removal thrown in, with the aformentioned Fatal Push and also Never // Return. The last can also turn you dead Black Cats or Plague Belchers back into undead Zombies, as a last resort or maybe a win-more (this also works well with Anointed Procession).

To make it more competitive in Standard, it may be wise to add some green Cats. Logical choices are Pride Sovereign and Prowling Serpopard, the hilarious Cat Snake (remember the cartoon Catdog?...)

The deck could potentially even be a modern BW Cats deck. See the maybe board for some Cats I was looking at. Also here Abzan is probably a viable option, but I did not explore it.
