I almost like Sacred Mesa better, 2W for a 1/1 dork is kind of steep. At least the Pegasus tokens fly. Unless you're supporting soldiers specifically, it might be better?
Sacred Mesa is definitely better. Unless you're only putting in exactly 3 mana you get at least as many tokens and they fly instead of having vigilance (even if the enchantment gets destroyed). I'd also play Raise the Alarm over it. I don't think Mobilization is a very good card.

Sacred mesa is definitely stronger, but I run both. I think that you need to know what you're getting into with mobilization. It should not be competing with raise the alarm. Raise the alarm is an aggressive token producer, mobilization is a control finisher that you sink mana into every end step to grind out the kill or every combat step to keep yourself alive.
If your control decks want another powerful slow finisher that makes use of mana doublers (and you're already running sacred mesa), then mobilization is the card for you. Otherwise, there are better options.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

This is all fair, I definitely agree it serves a very different role than Raise the Alarm.
I have been pushing tokens heavily in my cube recently, including borderline cubable stuff like Mirari's Wake, Increasing Devotion, Martial Coup, Burn at the Stake, Mayor of Avabruck, Emeria Angel, and as many anthems as I can. I've been looking for more actual token-makers, though, and was wondering what people thought of Mobilization.
Better than Sacred Mesa? Better than Raise the Alarm? It's not for most cubes, but is a reasonable for those emphasizing tokens in white?

But I think mobilization is too weak. There are too many token generators that produce better than their cmc # of tokens. I'd load up on those first.
