Grand Crescendo
Instant
Create X 1/1 green and white Citizen creature tokens. Creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them.)

A few more I found/thought of:
- Shatter the Source - Flexible removal with convoke.
- Stoke the Flames - Burn with convoke, creature removal mostly.
- Grand Crescendo - In my Piru deck. Token creation with upside of single-turn indestructible for one more mana.
- Daring Thief - Powerful board disruption when used to convoke. This is more of a maybe than an auto-include.

Why?
The focus of these changes were to increase the token generation ability of the deck. Many of the removed cards interacted with cards that have been killed/allowing me to profit off of the death of tokens/creatures. Often, this would lead to me having a board of creatures that Caesar couldn't make use of which would stall my boardstate.
11 Card Changes
Creatures
-1 Alesha, Who Smiles at Death: Limited Graveyard recursion that didn't do much for many of my creatures
-1 Athreos, God of Passage: Tokens are what mainly die in my deck and those can't be in my hand
-1 Deathgreeter: Hard choice to make with this one, but at the end of the day, I wanted to remove this aspect of the deck. I don't care as much about longterm survivability if I can win early.
-1 Desdemona, Freedom's Edge: Similar to Alesha and Atheros
-1 Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim: Another hard choice to make, but I want to focus on tokens entering the battlefield and the attack phase rather than sacrificing and graveyard.
-1 Morbid Opportunist: Good card but similar to Elas, I want to focus on ETB and Attacking rather than killing
-1 Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy: I don't want many of my creature cards attacking and honestly the CMC of many of my creatures doesn't make this card worth it
-1 Pitiless Plunderer: Same as Morbid
-1 White Glove Gourmand: Ended up being a card that read: 4 mana create 2 humans, which is not ideal
Artifacts
-1 Ashnod's Altar: Never really panned out how I wanted it to, make room for better cards
Enchantments
-1 Battle of Hoover Dam: Choosing NCR runs into the same issue as Alesha and Desmonda, choosing Legion is fine but also not amazing. I would rather buff all my cards or keep them small to help with McCready
Creatures
+1 Hero of Bladehold: Great consistent token generator, and it creates soldiers
+1 Iroas, God of Victory *list*: Keep my tokens alive and able to consistently hit face against tall boards
+1 Karlach, Fury of Avernus: I LOVE this card, similar to Isshin being able to trigger Caesar's ability multiple times per turn is super strong. Also, I have many other attack phase triggers
+1 Myrel, Shield of Argive: Better Hero of Bladehold + Grand Abolisher, this card is a no brainer. Plus it has soldier synergy
Enchantments
+1 Anointed Procession: Stupid to not include this card in a white token deck
+1 Court of Embereth: This card is STRONG, consistently generates targets for Caesar to sacrifice if needed, and it does Caesar's strongest ability automatically every turn. Also Monarch is fun and I can consistently fight to keep it.
+1 Warleader's Call: Purphoros and a static +1/+1
Instants
+1 Grand Crescendo: At worst, it's 2 mana to make my board indestructible, at best it generates tokens for me
Sorcerys
+1 Finale of Glory: Token generator
Artifacts
+1 Mana Vault: More fast mana!
+1 The One Ring: Card draw plus protection from everything

Death by Tokens

Kambal is a pretty sweet design, though I think you're maybe trying to go in a few too many directions.
Since Kambal's second ability doesn't care how many tokens are created, I would consider cutting Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Anointed Procession even though they are both amazing cards otherwise. But if you really want to lean into Kambal they don't directly help your game plan.
In general you've got a sizable aristocrats package, but only a few sac outlets. If you want to go aristocrats I think you want to lean further into it. So either add some more sac outlets or dial it way back and focus on the other aspects of how Kambal works. Mind you a card like Suture Priest is probably good whatever route you go there.
You've got a couple of slower and not consistent token creators like Halo Fountain and Battle Angels of Tyr that I think could be cut.
I also think your protection package is too large. I think you'd be better off with maybe 3-4 protection pieces maximum, and ideally ones that synergize with the rest of your game plan like Grand Crescendo and Fanatical Devotion. I'd remove all the enchantment options you have there.
I'd also dial your board wipes down, though that could be meta-dependent, but 5 seems like 3-4 too many for your deck.
There are a handful of cards that probably aren't advancing your game plan too.
- Bloodchief Ascension is a crazy powerful card, but you don't directly leverage it. That card also points a massive target on whomever plays it, so I don't run it unless the deck fully leverages it.
- Cathars' Crusade is very powerful but slower and makes managing the board state a nightmare. I've actually taken it out of most of my decks just because I hate having to deal with all the different counters.
- Tainted Remedy is an okay card in the right deck, but I'm not seeing what it's doing for you here unless your meta is filled with lifegain decks.
Good luck with your build!

Grand Crescendo is in; can protect an existing board or establish a new one

Phule451 this is what I've done to the deck now which includes your suggestions:
Timber Paladin > Gala Greeters
Timely Ward > Gallant Pie-Wielder
Angelic Destiny > Lady of Laughter
Starfield Mystic > Grand Crescendo
Idol of Oblivion > Sterling Grove
Please let me know what you think and if you have anymore suggestions to make this deck a great show

What show is complete without a Grand Crescendo? Both serves as great protection for your board plus is totally on theme. Also, with Gylwain’s ability, celebration triggers go off with every creature spell; stick a monster role on Gallant Pie-Wielder and you’ve got not only concessions at your show, but also a giant threat, put a sorcerer role on Lady of Laughter and you get a comedy act that gives you card selection in front of card draw.

This looks like a fun deck. I have a few ideas for you though.
Grand Crescendo is board protection plus a lot of potential tokens if you pay into X.
Indulge / Excess is another army-in-a-can with the added payoff of potentially ramping hard.
Call the Coppercoats is meta dependent, but this thing can make a LOT of tokens at instant speed.
Ogre Battledriver is an underrated haste enabler that turns all those 1/1's into immediate 3/1 threats.
Skyhunter Strike Force gives +3+3 to your army just for attacking all 3 opponents. It doesn't need to attack itself either, which is nice.
Mirror Entity is downright amazing when you're ramping and going wide.
Kamahl, Fist of Krosa is a finisher and a boardwipe deterrent all in one. You can threaten to turn an opponent's lands into 1/1's in response to a boardwipe.
Luminous Broodmoth makes your deck more resilient while addressing the lack of flyers.
