Arvad weatherlight
Arvad weatherlight smuggler is failing to trigger with the sacrifice of tokens at the beginning of the end step. Is this correct? I understand that both effects trigger simultaneously but wonder if the order of the stack shouldn’t allow for Arvad’s ability to still succeed the check for the death of a creature on your turn. Looking for clarification on this question thank you

Arvad has an "at the beginning of the end step" trigger. Moreover, that trigger also has an intervening-if clause. That means, first, that the trigger is checked only at the very specific point in time when the end step BEGINS, and second, that the if-condition has to be true at that time in order for the trigger to go off. It will not trigger in retrospect, if a creature happens to die DURING the end step.
