Kalitas and His Dead Friends (Post Rotation) (Standard MTG Deck)

SOI has been fairly nice to us with all of the cool new zombies that exist. Losing Empty the Pits is so depressing it almost made me abandon this deck but we're back and we're zombie tribal!

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is still the obvious powerhouse of the deck but with the new SOI cards he has much better support. Relentless Dead is probably my favorite mythic in the set and its fits so well in this deck. Diregraf Colossus is another powerhouse card that has potential to be huge and can help build up an army for Kalitas. From Under the Floorboards could be my new Empty the Pits if I can find a way to reliably proc its madness (right now I just have Liliana's +1) so we can get more tokens and play it on our opponents end step. Right now the only cards that I can see myself using for madness procs are Sinister Concoction , Heir of Falkenrath , or maybe Macabre Waltz . Please leave any feedback and suggestions and continue to +1!

SOI Update! — April 1, 2016

Edit

Finally decided to check out the Shadows cards. With Empty the Pits rotating out of standard we have a pretty huge power vacuum to fill somehow. I debated making the deck blue black and lean even more on the control theme using Rise from the Tides as a win condition. I also considered changing the deck to be black red vampires with madness and I thing that would be an insanely fun deck to play but I was worried about the consistency of the deck (and the price tag was a little steep for me). In the end I decided to go for zombie tribal, which is probably worse then either blue black or black red but I just don't want to have to destroy this deck and basically build it just out of expensive SOI cards.
