Working on Kathril, Aspect Warper and trying to work out the best three cards to hit with Buried Alive to achieve maximum potential. Any ideas?

Zetalpa + Sigarda, Host of Herons + Vampire Nighthawk is eight keywords. Sigarda and Nighthawk are decent creatures too.

Bassara Tower Archer + Vampire Nighthawk + zetalpa is nine

Looking up critters with three or more keywords, it looks like 9 is about the most optimal you can hit with a single Buried Alive, but there are also options out that feature First Strike and haste on the same critter as those are the only two keywords you're missing, that matter to Kathril, from the above three you mentioned

Metachemist kathril won’t consider haste. It’s so that you can’t OHKO people with him if you hit keyword soup + double strike.

ok i think that you want more than that. go for Filth to add a hidden anthem keyword giving unblockable in some cases
This is if you add and control Necrotic Ooze. Cast Buried Alive and put Pili-Pala, Palladium Myr and Walking Ballista in your graveyard. With the combination of Pili-Pala and Palladium Myr abilities, you can generate infinite mana. Use the mana to activate Walking Ballista's ability, putting infinite counters on Necrotic Ooze. Remove the counters to deal damage to any target.
then you also have Archon of Valor's Reach provides 3 keywords, but if played, or reanimated provides a strong effect
Unburial Rites is just good if you have a massive threat in graveyard, buried for the creature and you can flash it back
Dread Return is even better cuz you get the 2 cards that combo and sac 3 to win
Brisela is good too, just depend on your leaning strat
Survival of the Fittest is crazy good as well.

It goes without saying that Zetalpa, Primal Dawn is one of the best hits. The best Keywords for Kathril are Double strike, Hexproof, Indestructible and Trample. As long as those keywords are in your graveyard Kathril will be hard to deal with. I usually try to get Zetalpa Primal Dawn, Sunblade Angel and Sigarda Host of Herons into my graveyard off of Buried Alive.

Zetalpa, Primal Dawn seems like a must
