Trying to leverage new sacrifice outlets and token generation into a viable Abzan aristocrats deck for standard, specifically the Poison-Tip Archer + Teysa Karlov combo. Largely looking for advice on focusing the deck.

Sacrifice Payoffs

Poison-Tip Archer is likely to be the central damage engine after doubling with Teysa Karlov , and Elenda, the Dusk Rose is an alternate 4-drop payoff for when Poison-Tip doesn't materialize. Midnight Reaper turns sacrifice into card advantage. Priest of Forgotten Gods is a sacrifice outlet that deals decent damage as well.

Sacrifice Outlets

Pitiless Pontiff and Priest of Forgotten Gods are the big ones, and Pontiff has the added benefit of unlimited repeatability. Vraska, Golgari Queen also serves as a limited outlet. Plaguecrafter turns sacrifice into removal, and gives removal reach to planeswalkers as well.

Token Generation

Hunted Witness , Tithe Taker , and Ministrant of Obligation make early-game sacrifice targets, and March of the Multitudes , Elenda, and Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants make more tokens in the late-game. Gutterbones and Reassembling Skeleton are recurring threats that fill the same role in the early game (I'll probably settle on one or the other after I've seen Gutterbones in play).

Win Conditions

I've been struggling to find a top-end that's powerful enough to be remotely competitive, given the slower nature of the deck. Multitudes, Vraska, and Teysa all have potential, but I think the deck either needs a much stronger top-end or a much faster start in order to be competent. I've added Ajani and Demon of Catastrophes as synergistic win conditions, although Ajani might be too win-more to keep.
