Swapped out 3 Mountains and 2 Plains for Command Beacon and Opal Palace and Thran Dynamo and Emeria, the Sky Ruin and Homeward Path. Took out Combat Celebrant and Aggravated Assault and World at War and Sun Titan and Sword of Body and Mind and Relentless Assault. Replaced them with Tithe and Odric, Lunarch Marshal and Wear / Tear and Mask of Memory and Worn Powerstone and Sword of the Animist. While I took out some lands, I replaced them with better lands and better ways to get lands. I removed most of the combat steps becuase Aurelia already does that and I still have enough extra combat steps. They were replaced with cards that make the deck more consistent and resilient. I also took out cards like Sun Titan and Sword of Body and Mind. Sun Titan becuase he didn't fit with the theme that well especially when he could be replaced with better card draw in Mask of Memory, and card draw is this color pair's greatest weakness. Sword of Body and Mind becuase I only really included it for the token but it just isn't worth it when compared to what replaced it, Odric, Lunarch Marshal, who with just Aurelia and him give everything else haste, flying, and vigilance, which is nutty.

Thank you for the advice Zoefzoef83. I added in all you're suggestions as I found that you're suggestions offered more value than other cards in the deck beforehand.

Hey there I'm a long time Aurelia player. I'm digging your build, my token builds of Aurelia are usually lackluster, but I'm interesting in trying yours out.
Heres some recommendations of cards I really like: Glorybringer gives you more removal, Odric, Lunarch Marshal flying vigilance haste for all of your creatures. Mask of Memory The card draw is awesome on this thing.
Mana Fixing: I recommend Tithe, Gift of Estates, Worn Powerstone, Thran Dynamo, Sword of the Animist is also really powerful.
Sunforger package: I really like Return to Dust, Wear / Tear, Comeuppance is crazy good, and I would swap out Legion's Initiative for Teferi's Protection
Lands: I run a lot of fetches to find Plateau and Sacred Foundry which allows me to run a smaller number of basics, and run pretty greedy with utility lands. Strip Mine, Tectonic Edge, Ghost Quarter, Emeria, The Sky Ruin, Opal Palace, Command Beacon Homeward Path this one is important for when Aurelia inevitably gets stolen. Path of Ancestry.
Other thoughts: I personally prefer to run 37-38 lands. I have found Sunblast Angel to be underwhelming. I prefer Angel of the Dire Hour for that type of effect. Crescendo of War is a funny card, sometimes you win easily, sometimes it kills you. I think you could probably cut of some of the additional combat step cards since Aurelia already does that, but I would add in Eldrazi Displacer, you can blink Aurelia and keep getting combat steps and get there with your tokens.
Anyway check out some of the suggestions. Hope you enjoy them.
I have bunch of Aurelia builds you can check out here:

For some tokens you could try: Anointed Procession Hanweir Militia Captain and to make them big you could try Cathars' Crusade
