@phantomsts I had the Nobilis in the deck but he really didn't feel right I guess. And Giant and Mystics, well, if I do get them, the Giant could replace Godo.

Both the Nobilis and Agrus can be argued either way. Stonehewer is easy to pick up nowadays, but mystic is still around $12. I did run Godo, but cut him for something.

you need some card draw in here. add Wheel of Fortune , Reforge the Soul , Memory Jar , stuff like that.

How about Chariot of Victory ?
I've got a boros gisela led commander deck, feel free to check it out, A Kiss With A Fist Is Better Than None.

I am not a fan of Chariot of Victory in an Aurelia deck. Aurelia, the Warleader has haste. The trample is nice, but I will generally have double strike on her, so first strike is useless. But trample is worthless with unblockable (such as Rogue's Passage ).
If you are not relying much on your commander, then the chariot is decent.

I finally put up my Aurelia deck Aurelia Aggro if you want to check it out. I have considered running Iroas, God of Victory over Aurelia and adding in a Lightmine Field for fun.

This deck oozes with so much Boros Flavor that it feals almost wrong not to have Gideon, Champion of Justice . I know he sucks, but hes the one who cleaned up the ninth precinct. I also think that Gideon Jura would be good here, because he loves going into the red zone, and can be really hard for your opponents to deal with. +1 Upvote

@nayrash5 I really enjoy how Aurelia is running in this form. The only misgivings I have is that sometimes I am mana screwed, but I can also win turn 5 if I am lucky with the draws.
I used to have an Ajani Vengeant in here but never really got to use him before he was killed. Gideon Jura would be a nice addition if I could find something to replace with him.
Thanks for the upvote!

Balefire Liege .. These liege cards are pretty awesome in just about any commander deck there is.. especially red and white

I have a copy of Balefire Liege , just never was really satisfied with it's performance

It seems like you could get away with the Splinter Twin and Village Bell-Ringer combo. There may also be a place for Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker in here. You could make an extra Inferno Titan, Sun Titan or Hero of Bladehold every turn.
Also, I have played with Soul of Theros . It's really quite good.

@KaraZorEl or I could have Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker out, use it's ability targeting Zealous Conscripts and then the Conscripts targeting Kiki-Jiki, making 3/3 haste creatures., Believe me, I thought of that combo a lot, yet decided that despite it essentially ending the game, it didn't really fit the direction I was going for the deck. Although having an extra Inferno Titan does souind really fun.
I did have Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker in the deck at one point in time, but he is most likely going to end up in a new commander deck I am working on.
Soul of Theros does look pretty good.

@ZombieCat Thanks for saying you like Aurelia! I recently changed out the cards, added in Thundermaw Hellkite and the Scourge of the Throne in replace of Skullclamp and Elixir of Immortality ; both good cards but the clamp really didn't help much. I never really tutored for it and the elixir was always blown to bits or pithing needled.

Deflecting Palm is too hilarous..
"Oh, you swing for 24 commander damage?"
plays Deflecting Palm
"Ha! Die by your own commander!"
I have a Bruna EDH deck that my friend plays.. a lot.

Zombiecat - Deflecting Palm does the damage, not the general. You will not kill someone by commander damage that way.

Now, if Traitor's Roar were in color and an instant yes...
Back on topic: have you considered Iroas, God of Victory and Puresteel Paladin ?
September 30, 2014 10:35 p.m.

@phantomsts Sorry for the long wait! I've been working on another deck idea, a jund token deck.
My thoughts on Iroas, God of Victory is just that he is good, but I don't like him that much even though his ability does fit well into what the deck has planned.
As for Puresteel Paladin , I only have 8 equipment in the deck, so he won't be as good in this deck than any other that is dedicated to equipment. But, If I ever buy the two auto include white equipment creatures Stonehewer Giant and Stoneforge Mystic , then the Paladin will have a good home.
These two creature cards, and the Mystic and Giant, would make an amazing package for a hyper aggro red/white commander, even more aggro then Aurelia is right now. If I do make a deck like that, the commander will have to be Tajic, Blade of the Legion .

Is your jund deck together yet?
I ran an aggro voltron aurelia deck, tried it with tajic, but always loved the extra combat phase more. Sometimes, I just shuffle the deck and mill until I hit one of the viable commanders (Tajic, Blade of the Legion, Iroas, God of Victory, Aurelia, the Warleader, Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, and I think there is one more) and use them as the general.
Also, if you can acquire a Batterskull, I would suggest that as an auto include (really goes well with both Stonehewer Giant and Stoneforge Mystic). Batterskull has dropped some as it was a recent GP foil, though I do not know your budget. I would suggest picking it up before it starts to rise in price again.

Oh yes, Batterskull is in my wishlist of things to have lol

Sunforger + Relentless Assault + Mistveil Plains
In my Boros edh I put a lot of cards that I can go get with it, like removal and other things. I run Gisela, Blade of Goldnight as my commander though.

Artemis_Swift says... #25
Relentless Assault Is a sorcery, so the Sunforger's ability won't work with that combo since it says Instants only. Even then, I don't have the instants to make that card viable.
phantomsts says... #1
Looks quite a bit like my Aurelia deck. Nobilis of War is one I like. I use him over Agrus Kos, Wojek Veteran . I also use Stonehewer Giant (allows for tutoring and equipping equipment). Along the same lines, Stoneforge Mystic allows for tutoring an equipment. Sunforger is one of the best equipment cards for Red/White decks.
As for cuts: Mirran Crusader - yeah, he can beat house, but so many other better things to give larger creatures double strike. Grand Abolisher - I found this guy quite lacking. At least in my meta. Same thing as Mizzium Mortars - not large enough to kill most threats (though it is nice against token decks).
Oh, a land I would look at adding is Slayers' Stronghold - grants haste and attack bonus.
