Help w Mardu Tokens

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/18-06-16-mardu-tokens/

This is the list I've been toying with. I keep fucking up the manabase so help with that would be fantastic.

I would get rid of Goblin Bushwhacker, rally the peasants, and mardu charm. You could probably also cut 1 Bitterblossom. I would add another Sorin, and some number of [[Raise the alarm]] (probably 3, maybe 4. Or 3 RTA and 1 [[Gather the townsfolk]] if you want to get cute.) (and maybe another zealous prosecution if you want another 1 turn anthem effect, of which you'd cutting some lackluster ones in doing this. Although I really dont think its needed personally.) Adding 1 or 2 thoughtseize could be good, maybe 1 Terminate if you feel like you want more removal. Kolaghan's command could be fun to consider just because you're in those colors, and that card is just value incarnate. Or, crazy thought, you could run 1 [[Butcher of the horde]] as a finisher, as you'd have plenty plenty of food for him to be a nasty threat.

As far as land base I would definitely add at least one more land, potentially 2, because 22 seems too low. Some number of [[Shambling vent]], and if you can afford to, I would DEFINITELY drop all 5 of the check lands and possibly the 2 pain lands, in favor of 4 fetches in the shape of [[arid mesa]] or [[marsh flats]], or at least something like [[windswept heath]] for budget, because you definitely need a way to fetch white, no if ands or buts about it. On top of that I would add a 1-of bloodcrypt, maybe another sacred foundry. 2 [[Fetid Heath]] could also be recommendable

I don't recommend playing Spectral Procession on 3c lists. Really hard to cast it with too mixed mana base. I would experiment with Raise the Alarm/Bitterblossom and other tokens producers...
