Empty the Pits (KTK-72 normal) is a black instant from Khans of Tarkir that creates X tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens. It has Delve, allowing you to exile cards from your graveyard to help pay the generic mana portion of its cost. The X in its mana cost scales the number of Zombies produced, making it a variable board-flooding effect for graveyard-centric strategies.
