I love Mardu! My favorite deck plays a lot like this one.
Below are some of my recommendations, but I would mostly recommend you check out the CommandZone on Youtube - they have a deckbuilding guide that is very good. Also, for some ideas on cards, you can check out EDHREC, which is a database for deckbuilding.
Anywho, here are some of my recommendations:
== ADD ==
Isshin, Two Heavens as One and Windcrag Siege double all your attack triggers.
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Terra, Herald of Hope
if you face a lot of removal.
Swords to Plowshares, Damn, Blasphemous Act, and Ruinous Ultimatum for removal.
Boros Charm for protection.
Voice of Victory, Bone-Cairn Butcher, Infantry Shield, and Dalkovan Packbeasts for more Warrior tokens.
Hardened Tactician, Raiders' Spoils, Mindblade Render, Skullclamp, and Zurgo Stormrender for card draw.
Professional Face-Breaker for ramp and card advantage. Boros Signet, Orzhov Signet, Rakdos Signet, Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Hierarchy, and Talisman of Indulgence for more ramp.
Shared Animosity, Fiery Emancipation, and City on Fire for buffs.
Reconnaissance to remove any creature your opponent blocks so it won't die, and Redoubled Stormsinger to double your tokens.
33 Lands is very low, especially since you have so little card draw and a high average cmc of 2.67. I recommend at least 38, if not 40 - you generally want to be playing a land every turn for the first 5 turns.
== CUT ==
Here are some cards I recommend cutting:
Aeronaut's Wings, Colossus Hammer, Greatsword of Tyr, Inquisitorial Rosette, Mardu Monument, Team Pennant, Amazing Alliance, Cartouche of Solidarity, Rally the Ranks, Shared Triumph, War Effort - Most of these provide modest buffs or require too much mana to use in one go. Most equipment are better in dedicated equipment builds, while Zurgo is generally more about going wide. If you do want to play equipment, I would recommend ones that provide utility (like Sword of the Animist, which you already have) or provide large buffs (like Blackblade Reforged). Cards that only buff your damage by 1 are generally underpowered.
Chromatic Lantern, Commander's Sphere - Your commander is 3-mana, so it is nice to have 2-mana ramp so you can still play your commander on curve.
Diabolic Tutor and Mastermind's Acquisition are a lot of mana for a tutor, and I would generally recommend cutting them.
Anywho, that's a lot, but let me know if any of it was helpful!

No prob! Glad the suggestions were helpful. You could also include some other Mobilize creatures like Dalkovan Packbeasts, which make those Warrior tokens that are going to auto-sacrifice anyways.
I'd recommend checking out Plumb the Forbidden as a way to get some more draw, & also as a way to sacrifice your own creatures in combat. There is a timing in combat where after your creatures deal/are dealt combat damage, they are still considered as attacking. It's a timing rule that makes something like Reconnaissance work to "save" your creatures from combat. The newest printing of Reconnaissance explains it in its reminder text. Basically you could use Plumb the Forbidden in that same timing window.
Last general suggestion would be to caution against very color intensive cards in 3 color decks. I'm not saying that they should not be included, but maybe to keep an eye on how consistently you can cast them.
