Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
...Allow me to draw your attention to another Mirage card that caught my eye: Sacred Mesa. It's very similar to Mobilization (they're both rare enchantments that pump out 1/1 white creature tokens with special abilities); so what would make it a better choice for your deck than the newer card? Flying can be better than not tapping to attack, so that's something. But the key is to turn the Mesa's drawback (you must sacrifice a Pegasus every turn or lose the enchantment) into a positive attribute. It's not a bug, it's a feature! The knowledge that you want to sacrifice a creature every turn can steer your deckbuilding efforts in very specific directions.

Another Mirage card that goes hand in hoof with the Mesa is Asmira, Holy Avenger. Asmira is guaranteed to grow every turn with the Mesa out. What new cards are hip enough to kick it old school? Soulcatcher also grows every turn thanks to the crash-landing Pegasusses, Shared Triumph pumps up the Pegases, and Mirari's Wake lets you produce twice as many Pegasi that are each twice as big as before. Throw in some more ways to take advantage of your fly-into-the-mountainside critters (I went with Bequeathal, Fecundity, and Foster; Pattern of Rebirth is also a nice option) and some mana production so you can churn out a flock at a time, and you have yourself a deck.
