When this creature enters, create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token with "Whenever this token attacks, you gain 1 life." At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, draw a card.

"Life and death is a complex pattern that needs careful stitching."

Essenceknit Scholar's last ability will check as your end step starts to see if a creature died under your control this turn. If none did, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to cause a creature to die during your end step in time to have the ability trigger.
