I'm wanting to make a midrange mardu deck and I know that this requires some mana ramp typically. But, I am having a hard time thinking of things for mana ramp for red black or white.
Generator Servant , although it only creates colourless

HavokX Already suggested what I was going to suggest, but I'm going to go into a little detail. Only because I plan on playing the same colors.
Athreos, God of Passage
+
Generator Servant
is serious value.
Generator Servant
can make two other Generator servants EtB with haste, which makes 
that very same turn.
If you're worried about the colorless mana being useless. You can add things like Prophetic Prism
and Unknown Shores
for some additional mana fixing. Or you could play some 
or 
spells. I had a lot more to tell you, but distractions will distract.
Hope I at least gave some helpful advice to you.

Green is pretty much the only color that gets actual ramp. Generator Servant is red's version of ramp: rituals. The only other option is artifacts. Burnished Hart is the only thing I can think of that actually puts lands into play. Traveler's Amulet can tutor a land, but won't help you play it any faster. There is also convoke, though that's not exactly ramp.

the new banners, but why do you need to ramp in a mardu midrange build?

its not so much ramp as it is color fixing, but Mardu Warshrieker . Then there are the artifacts to fetch lands and the banners but pretty much without green, its more of mana fixing over mana ramping.

Yeah, that's true. I could have worded it differently. I'll probably through some artifacts in there like the Burnished Hart . But Rob_the_Taavi I really like that Athreos, God of Passage + Generator Servant combo. I already planned on running Athreos so that's good.

Burnished Hart is all that comes to mind.
