Gbickel on Aurelia, the Warleader

Auerlia is one of my favorite commanders. So glad that you are building her. Boros has historically been terrible with ramp and draw, but there's a lot of things you can to now to shore up those problems in these colors.

I'm not sure your budget, but here are some of my recommendation. Ramp: Fellwar Stone, Oketra's Monument, Pearl Medallion or Ruby Medallion, Talisman of Conviction, Land Tax, $Smothering Tithe, and Curse of Opulence. Curse of Opulence is such a fun card to get gold token and insentivize your opponents to attack someone else.

Draw: Aurelia, the Law Above, Geier Reach Sanitarium, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Mask of Memory, Faithless Looting. I love running Palantir of Orthanc. Its fun messing with opponents to get the draw or hitting them for lots of damage. I enjoy running wheel cards, but the Aurelia I play is a reanimator deck. So I have no problems with my creatures in the graveyard.

But a big weakness I see is spot removal. You do have boardwipes. They are okay, but sometimes you need to remove one problem permanent instead of resetting the board. I would encourage adding removal for different types of permanents. This is something that Boros excels in.

At least formally, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is not legal for EDH, so it's a strange decision. I would prefer Ulamog, the Defiler, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, or Zhulodok, Void Gorger as the commander, given legality issues.

Some other small thoughts:

• Field of the Dead (you can support it), Snow-Covered Wastes, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Strip Mine, and Geier Reach Sanitarium are all possibly handy lands.
• Memory Jar, Solemn Simulacrum, Ratchet Bomb, and Everflowing Chalice are possibly handy artifacts. Depending on the playgroup you're in, either Vexing Bauble, Chalice of the Void, and Cursed Totem could also help.

Avaricious Dragon might be worth a spot.

Valakut Awakening  ^Flip could be upgraded to discard like Change of Fortune, Dangerous Wager or Dragon Mage.

Gamble great tutor to begin with by the random discard is an upside in this deck.

Null Brooch grants Negate to colors that can't Negate.

Urabrask  ^Flip - bit more mana and damage, eventually can recast all those great spells from the graveyard. Blocks

Blast Zone - a bit of removal in the land base

Geier Reach Sanitarium - maybe loot away extra lands?

Mikokoro, Center of the Sea - not ideal, but mono-Red

Valakut Awakening  ^Flip - could take a land slot

Shatterskull Smashing  ^Flip - take a land slot and add more burn

Song-Mad Treachery  ^Flip - could take a land slot, could steal a big creature and get across the finish line. Expensive, but synergizes with all your instant- and sorcery-stuff

Imodane, the Pyrohammer - huge force multiplier! A win-con. Probably a must-include

Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might  ^Flip - another force-multiplier. Might be redundant though

This deck is wonderful! The only recommendation I would have is maybe add some more draw options. Maybe some utility lands could help, like Geier Reach Sanitarium or Mikokoro, Center of the Sea. I know these options provide draw to your opponents as well, but during games I've often found that in a pinch, these can really break stalemate situations.

Apologies for the double post, but Eisheim's draw ability is also probably too cheap. My reference points here are Geier Reach Sanitarium and Mikokoro, Center of the Sea. While those don't have color requirements, they're also quite a bit less than "target player draws a card" and aren't stapled to an Arcane Sanctum. The life gain and loss are probably okay; you can even probably cut the life gain cost to just {W}.

The lands will need the deepest testing and review. Color production plus utility is probably unusual because it represents a high level of productivity from a source that's difficult to interact with. Everything else, the creatures and spells, look solid.
