I'll prob throw in some removal at some point.. But the main Idea is a bunch of things that you really can't kill w/o removal..

BlackJester

I think you could use a Lord in here, like {Adaptive Automaton} or{Death Baron}.

Prophylaxis

Don't forget {Cairn Wanderer}.
Where's the {Skeletonize}?

I don't feel like splashing red in this deck but the wanderer may be a good idea

I just do not see skeletons as a viable tribe.  The only way is adding the barons and automatons like BlackJester suggests.  I would run 4 of each if those and 4 {reassembling skeleton} and 4 {kjelderon dead}.  You could consider playing discard / creature control and use {hymn to torauch} and {mind rot} and {doom blade} of course.  Also 4 {dark rituals} are a must in any mono black......I would go so far as to say {Phyrexian Obliterator} is also the new mono black staple.....but he is pricy :)

I agree with most of your comments.. I'm not worried about the tribe being viable, I think it may be an annoying deck for casual/ multiplayer..

BlackJester

Personally, I would run the tribe as control, using their regenerative abilities to clog the ground until the Vampire or Dragon hit play.

Spikepit

You could run a {Death Baron} or two, add in one or two zombies, or Zombie token generators. Just a possibility. 😊

I just find it hard to think an all creature deck will be very competive.  I built an all creature/equipment deck that was able to produce some huge, cheap, and fast creatures w/ haste and trample but it still did not do so well.  You should consider a control/discard strategy with this deck IMHO.
