Both spells would be countered by the rules of the game for having no legal targets (fizzle) if they target a King of the Oathbreakers who subsequently phases out. This means that no token will be created. However; if they fail to destroy the creature for another reason (let's say an Armor of Shadows in response) the token will still be created.

The spells I listed all let a creature go to the graveyard, then immediately pull it back out for another go. Stuff like Armor of Shadows won't do much for this deck, but the instants that grant a "When this creature dies" trigger could help. Undying Malice, for example, let's a creature die, then brings it back with a +1/+1 counter.

Switched Loran's Escape and Blacksmith's Skill for Armor of Shadows and Professor's Warning. Giving an opponent's creature hexproof isn't very useful when lining up a Seal of Fire to start a damage loop.

Great Deck! First time I see something this interesting on a Xantcha deck.

Can I ask you please why do you choose to return Xantcha under your control when you are trying to save her? (with the black instants) Here, you may also add Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip which is a bit cheaper than Abnormal Endurance to cast.

If you want her to remain under the opponents' control may I suggest some other options for your black instants: Armor of Shadows ,Boon of Erebos, Without Weakness and Unlikely Aid

Sorry If I am not seeing the trick where you want her under your control.

Nice deck!

I know you're not trying to go for board-wipe-tribal but here are lots of other ways to save your commander. I know you know about a lot of these.

You should seriously consider Blasphemous Act; it's one of the best wraths period.
