With Necroskitter out, cast a Black Sun's Zenith big enough to wipe the board (or at least your opponent's side).  Even if Necroskitter dies to the Zenith, it will trigger for each creature the Zenith killed and give them all to you!

So simple... so cool... you could base a deck entirely around this, carnifex demon and maybe even some proliferate

Maybe some Undying (I know they won't come back if they already have a +1/+1 counter) in the way of Mikaeus or others.  A little Liliana action to get all the critters back too :).  Grim Poppet, Blowfly Infestation, Pestilence Demon, Flourishing Defenses, Whatever you think would go best!

I don't understand how a creature that lands in the graveyard at the same time as all the other creatures has an ability that triggers?

If it does then this game really has broken down on the rules side.

This has been this way for a loooong time, see the following ruling for proof and an example

603.6d Normally, objects that exist immediately after an event are checked to see if the event matched any trigger conditions. Continuous effects that exist at that time are used to determine what the trigger conditions are and what the objects involved in the event look like. However, some triggered abilities must be treated specially. Leaves-the-battlefield abilities, abilities that trigger when a permanent phases out, abilities that trigger when an object that all players can see is put into a hand or library, abilities that trigger specifically when an object becomes unattached, abilities that trigger when a player loses control of an object, and abilities that trigger when a player planeswalks away from a plane will trigger based on their existence, and the appearance of objects, prior to the event rather than afterward. The game has to "look back in time" to determine if these abilities trigger.
Example: Two creatures are on the battlefield along with an artifact that has the ability "Whenever a creature dies, you gain 1 life." Someone plays a spell that destroys all artifacts, creatures, and enchantments. The artifact's ability triggers twice, even though the artifact goes to its owner's graveyard at the same time as the creatures.

I have a combo with Contagion Engine and Necroskitter.

And that runs well with this, but Zenith is a little better all around.  Zenithing is usually cheaper, usually kills more on resolution, and because it shuffles in it's quite reusable.  Contageon Engine lets you proliferate your Zenith as well as not hitting your side :).  Synergastic Goodness

Cool story, Mechy. Do you tell that at Gatherings?
