Also some battalion cards since your gonna want to hit with multiple creatures at multiple opponents but your probably gonna just want to build classic Boros aggro ie. Assemble the legion gisela and such

Aurelia, the Warleader is an obvious choice for Adriana. I currently have an Aurelia EDH and Adriana, Captain of the Guard definitely has a spot in her hordes. As Cobaltkiller27 mentioned "Batallion" creatures are a good place to begin as well.
Since Adriana wants you to attack with multiple creatures Batallion + Aurelia are great, especially if you are running Swords like Sword of Feast and Famine for multiple triggers of Melee

Aggravated Assault works similarly to Aurelia, the Warleader. Because of the colors, you might as well run Sunforger.

Aggravated Assault + Sword of Feast and Famine = infinite combat phases. Iroas, God of Victory is very helpful for this interaction as he prevents damage that would be dealt to your attacking creatures. Hellkite Charger can also be used in place of Aggravated Assault as well

Boros Reckoner, Ajani Vengeant those are both really good cards in your colors. Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas is a must include card.

So many bad ideas in this thread.
Look, in an average commander game you're going to have three opponents. This makes Adriana a +3/+3 anthem. Anthems = wide. Wide = tokens.
This makes Adriana the de-facto choice for Boros token builds since she beats out Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer without the need to build into metalcraft. Just make as many dudes per cards spent as possible and run some of the better anthems like Crescendo of War and Jazal Goldmane.
Personal favorite token generators: Shrine of Loyal Legions, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Assemble the Legion, and Nomads' Assembly.
Aurielia is fine as far as far as extra combats go, but for token decks the best you can get is Breath of Fury. It's basically a one card combo.
Also: "Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas is a must include card," ... No. Just no.

CommanderOnly: I agree that she's being overlooked. Not to mention, with an extra combat step (ie Aurelia), she'll give you a +6/+6 anthem. But it's worth mentioning that her anthems only function on attacking...not that such a "downside" should be too big of a deal in Boros token builds. Kalemne is an aggressively-costed beater here, but nothing more. I'd often rather have Flame-Kin Zealot instead.
Do you feel like looking over my Adriana list? I could use some help; Boros tokens isn't really my forte in Commander.

That's what I've said since the beginning, it has to be a token build like Krenko, Mob Boss type deck. You shit out enough tokens and then swing for the kill. Just here in this deck you get to throw in some monster fatties and a brand new ability.

Please keep in mind Melee only counts the number of opponents attacked THIS COMBAT, Aurelia and assault don't let that stack since its a new combat phase. Everyone seems to overlook Dolmen Gate

ArchangelAlchemist: True, you'll still only get +3/+3 in each combat. But because it's "until end of turn", a second combat phase will give them a total +6/+6 cumulatively :)

I really like Dolmen Gate I think that's a really good card :)

Iroas, God of Victory acts as a Dolmen Gate but grants Menace as well

That god is great for this deck, I wish it was in Temur colors.

I don't think Myriad tokens give extra triggers.. don't they come into play already attackING? Then, they haven't attackED, and don't trigger Melee.

Mayhaps some myriad stuff to go with the theme
