Which Sacrifice Outlet(s) Should I Put Into My Teneb Deck?

I have copies of Gift of the Deity and Shield of the Oversoul in my Teneb, the Harvester EDH deck, and they are excellent cards, but I am planning to replace them with cards that have stronger synergy with the theme of the deck (i.e., reanimating creatures for either combat or sacrificing), and one of those cards definitely shall be Feast of the Victorious Dead, but I am not certain what the other card should be.

I am contemplating several permanents that are sacrifice outlets, such as Martyr's Cause, Commissar Severina Raine, Denethor, Ruling Steward, and Bartolome del Presidio, although I currently am most favoring Denethor, since he provides both a sacrifice outlet and a benefit for creatures dying, which ideally should happen very frequently when I play this deck; or should I choose something completely different, such as Vito, Fanatic of Aclazotz, for his unusual effect?

What does everyone else say about this subject? Which card should I put in my Teneb deck?

I usually like to mention Dramatic Finale when it comes to sacrificing creatures (if your triggers go off of creatures rather than non-token creatures).

FormOverFunction, that card would be great if it triggered any number of times, but the "once per turn" clause really hinders that card, in my mind.

I actually completely forgot about Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, so could she be good for this deck? Given the deck's colors, I should be able to gain sufficient life to use her second ability reliably.

Unless anyone has another suggestion, I shall choose Denethor, Ruling Steward, since he provides additional tokens, which I can then sacrifice, as well.
