Bloodletter of Aclazaotz sometimes not doing double damage.
I'm using Arnyn with Aclazaotz, and occasionally the damage is not doubled. When a 1/1 creature dies, Arny does 2 damage, and then with Aclasaotz, it doubles to 4, but in my last match, on several occasions when a 1/1 died and did 2 damage, it did not double, and I sat there watching in fury as I lost my game because it wasn't doubling, and yet other times in the game it was doubling perfectly fine. Also, Arnyn sometimes triggers when she dies, why, for starters she isn't a 1/1, and also she's technically dead and not there anymore to make it trigger.

Bloodletter of Aclazotz only applies during YOUR turn.
Arnyn has a dies trigger, and those like all leaves-the-battlefield triggers trigger based on the game state prior to the event. That is how dies triggers function, and that is how Arnyn can trigger for herself dying.
As for why she sometimes triggers for herself dying, that's becausse many removal spells reduce power/toughness. So she dies with the reduced power/toughness, usually because she then has toughness 0 or less. And since 0 is less or equal to 1, she triggers.
