How to Play

You're not really going to be attacking with this deck a lot. Most damage is going to be dealt directly to your opponent with Xathrid and Flayer of the Hatebound. Heartless summoning is to pump out creatures decently fast and theres some removal in there to deal with some influential creatures your opponent might put out.

Deck discussion for Xathrid Sac Win

Sorry to start off negative, however I don't believe Demonlord of Ashmouth is very good for the deck simply because his enter the field, sacrifice ability is completely contradictory to the rest of the decks since he is one of the cheapest, does no damage when things are sacked, and forces two other creatures to be sacrificed, if your not lucky enough to have a lot of other creatures already out then he is pretty worthless. The other card I dislike is undying evil since every creature besides xathrid demon (who you can't sac with his ability anyways) already has it. Besides that I do really like the concept. So i say good job, good luck and good day!

and sorry to be lame, but if you would give me some criticism on mine I would really appreciate it. thanks.

No problem bro. Thanks for the suggestion. I see where you are coming from with the undying evil, good point! But Demonlord of Ashmouth is a great combo. For example, your field = Xathrid, Flayer of the Hatebound, and one other creature (doesn't matter which one). Play Demonlord of Ashmouth, sac the creature that doesn't matter. The creature you sacced must likely had undying so it comes back and deals damage to your opponent due to Flayer of the Hatebounds ability. Next turn sac Demonlord of Ashmouth for Xathrid and deal 5 damage to your opponent . It comes back with undying and does another 6 damage with Flayer of the Hatebounds ability. Then if you have a non important creature on the field you can sac it to keep Dmonlord of Ashmounth alive or you can simply let him die.

have you thought about Hex Parasite instead of Undying Evil because I haft to agree with @Some_Soggy_Tacos on it seaming pretty worthless in this deck.

Undying Evil can only effect Xathrid Demon since he's the only creature without Undying so probably 8 out of 10 times you draw undying evil it will be pretty useless until Xathrid is out. if you use Hex Parasite you can remove the +1/+1 counters from your creatures so that they can use the undying effect more than once. or if you don't want to use Hex Parasite find something else that can be useful lol

See that's where you're wrong. I had the same idea but the way undying works is "when this creature dies, if it HAD no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it".
Even remove the counter the creature still HAD it so when it dies undying would trigger. Good thought. I was going to remove counters with power conduit. On second thought i may be wrong about removing counters from undying creature. If someone could check it would be much appreciated! thanks.

If it had no counters on it when it died, you can remove the counters and have the undying effect multiple times, its a trick that's been around for quite a while. but I do like your choice of Dark Ritual better for this deck.

one can never have too much removal, so maybe Thrill-Kill Assassin, she has deathtouch and she's a pretty good beater. Tenacious Dead would also be pretty good I think.
