Smeagol, Helpful Guide not recognizing creature deaths from mobilize sacrifice
Smeagol - Helpful Guide states "At the beginning of your end step, if a creature died under your control this turn, the Ring tempts you.
This is not proccing on mobilize sacrifices, even though it does not specify nontoken creature. Mobilize should be a viable mill/ramp strategy with this commander by stated mechanics.

Smeagol has an at the beginning of the end step trigger, with an intervening-if clause. That clause is an extension of the trigger condition, and must be true at the time the ability would trigger, or it doesn't. Meaning, to get the trigger, a creature must have died BEFORE the end step begins. Mobilize tokens sacrifice happens IN the end step, so too late.
