I'm rebuilding my Mardu aristocrats deck, and came across [[Avenger of the Fallen]] while looking for cards like [[Infantry Shield]], which goes absolutely insane on any card that buffs itself on creature death/sacrifice like [[Juri, Master of the Revue]] or [[Korvold, Fae-Cursed King]].

Avenger wants creatures in the graveyard, which I understand, but much of the Mardu cards create tokens that disappear upon dying. Is there a card that allows creature tokens to exist in the graveyard, or some other way to boost Avenger fast without milling? I feel like I'm missing some really obvious and powerful combos with this card, and I'm not sure where to start.

Does anyone know of any Mardu commanders that passively takes advantage of sacrifice or death triggers similar to Korvold fae cursed king and juri master of the revue? I know of zurgo stormrender, which draws cards if creature tokens leave the field while attacking or ping opponents otherwise, are there any others?

Edit: I appreciate all the replies so far, but to clarify, I'm looking for commanders that passively take advantage of sac/death triggers or passively boost the creatures that do. For reference, some cards I plan to include in the deck are [[Bartolomé del Presidio]], [[infantry shield]], and [[teysa karlov]].
