Official rulings

  1. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature an opponent controls dies won't trigger unless that creature is a token (see below). (2016-01-22)
  2. If a creature token an opponent controls dies, it goes to that player's graveyard as normal before ceasing to exist. (2016-01-22)
  3. You can't sacrifice Kalitas to activate the last ability, even if it's somehow become a Zombie. (2016-01-22)
  4. If Kalitas dies at the same time as creatures your opponents control, those creature cards will be exiled and you'll get that many Zombies. (2016-01-22)
