First larger update - Dominaria/1000 views —May 10, 2018
The deck just turned 1000 views and Dominaria got released, so an update is in place.
Changed the infinite combo suite to be more reliable, still packing some unexpected Goblin Bombardment kills though.

Hey, thanks for the view and comment!Good suggestions, and I am in process of buying the Valkyire and goblin bombarbment, which will enable another inf combo with sun titan, goblin bombarbment(as the sac outlet) and Fiend Hunter. Fiend targets titan, cas the fiend, titan enters, revives the fiend hunter, who targets sun titan, repeat. However, i'm not going to play kiki-jiki, as he + resto angel or zealous constripts would lead to my deck dominating my meta and making games unfun, as we play low-budget, up to maybe $200 worth of cards and people dont run inf combos, so the above described inf combos aren't really good, as they require 3 cards each and are easily distrupted, but won't suck the fun out of games, whereas kiki-jiki is easily a t4 kill out of nowhere, if you flash in resto angel at end step b4 your turn, then kiki-jiki, and you win.
Yes, argentum armor is only worth it, if i can tutor it with Stonehewer giant, but if he gets to survive, things get pretty messy, so argentum armor is kind of a win-more, otherwise pretty useless. And yes, Nobilis is a bit too expensive.
Do i have enough low-cmc creatures, or should i add more?

Yeah, Goblin bombardment is one of the nicest sacoutlets.About your creatures, well, I miss Mother of Runes, Puresteel Paladin and whenever you can: Stoneforge Mystic but for the moment you can run Open the Armory . You said Fiend Hunter will be in, thats nice.
And I know, Kiki combo is unfun in a less competitive meta, I've never ever runned that combo (don't have any Kiki :c) but I play against it to many times, there are many card/and strategies that can disrupt that (this are suggestion to your list): Thalia, Heretic Cathar is an alway nice creature, slowdown your opponents and prevent kikijiki and others; same for Blind Obedience its downside(?) is that it is not a creature.

I suggest Angel of Glory's Rise for late game value. You are running 11 humans, no zombies, and have 2 humans in the Maybeboard. With all the attacking, 3 boardwipes and inevitable removal resurrecting a a few humans seems useful. Costing around a $10 it seems like a powerful card to consider.

Thanks for the comment and upvote :)I find Angel of Glory's Rise to be too slow to have enough value for me. By the time 3-4 of my humans die, I am probably going to win only with Aurelia commander dmg or by combo. Other, and more important reason I wouldn't run the angel is that when i have a dead card in my hand, its a severe problem for me. I hope to be able to dump most of my cards and make use of them, as I will eventually lose out in the value-race. So I prefer to run either cards that are strong by themselves, have some sort of good interaction with Aurelia or are useful in a combo to win the game straight away.
But thanks for the sugestion, I always appreciate them :)

So far, Im liking what Im seeing. Only took a quick glance but will do a thorough look over later. Nice to see a scary boros deck though haha. Nicely done.

Hey bro, when it comes to boros, Im not exactly the best at giving suggestions. The closest I come to playing boros is my Alesha deck, but thats mostly reanimate and its similar to a Kaalia of the Vast deck. Regardless, some suggestions I always give to anyone at least running white is to get these following cards: Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Iona, Shield of Emeria, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and if you have a sac outlet, False Prophet can be great and even better if you can bring things back from the grave. Sac everything to something like Ashnod's Altar and then sac the prophet last to exile all remaining creatures on the battlefield. If your deck is all about bringing the pain train, sometimes hitting where it hurts most falls on restrictions, this is why Iona is so good. And of course Avacyn making everything indescribable is far too good to pass up. Ill see what else I can offer on suggestions later. Need to think on your deck more since is not a typical type of deck for me lol. Ask me about dimir, Izzet, or rakdos decks and Im all for helping haha. Good looking deck though.

Hey I am long time Aurelia player. Your list is looking pretty solid but I have few changes that I would recommend.
Out.
Cut Sram, Senior Edificier low equipment count deck hes not great. Figure of Destiny its a great card but it just takes up too much mana for what it does. Kor Cartographer doesn't have enough board impact for my liking, solemn is ok to keep though. Cataclysm and Obliterate are generally difficult to get into the right situation for, but you can keep them if they work well in your meta. Legion's Initiative and Sigarda's Aid are just never as good as I want them to be. I also wouldn't run Ajani Vengeant hard to protect and just doesn't do that much. Staff of Nin is just too much slow and takes up too much tempo.
In:For additions somethings that I like for this style of deck are Glorybringer, Firemane Avenger, Sunscorch Regent, Steelshaper's Gift, Magus of the Wheel is nice for card draw. Sulfurous Blast and Comeuppance are mvp sunforger targets for me.
If youre looking for more ways to achieve infinite combat steps: Aggravated Assault with either Neheb, the Eternal or Sword of Feast and Famine are usually sure fire ways to do it. You can also mix eldrazi displacer in there, its not as efficient but if you're looking for redundancy it helps.
My 2 best Aurelia decks are right here, you can check them out for inspiration.
Hope these help!

What I would take out: Leonin Shikari, I don't think you have enough equipments to put this card in, and same thing with Sram, Senior Artificer not enough equipments and you have no aura's.Add: Sol Ring good ramp, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs gives you good blockers, Warstorm Surge is a pretty good damage source, Victory's Herald is a pretty good lifegain source.I used to have an Aurelia, the Warleader deck and it worked out pretty well

Thanks for all the suggestions, I did cut Sram, he usually drew me zero cards, sometimes 1 card, which just isn't worth the spot. Figure, Kor Cartographer, Leonin Shikari, Obliterate, Sigarda's Aid all went out aswell.
I want to add more staying and scaling power, so i'll be looking at some a bit higher costed creatures, and using Price of Glory and Grand Abolisher to let me cast Aurelia in peace, not constantly looking around for counterspells and kill spells on combat step.
I will add SoFaF when i get it and add Aggravated Assault when sword comes. I am thinking about Kiki-jiki + zealous or resto angel aswell.

I should be getting Helm of the Host in the next few days, as i ordered a few copies online.When I recieve it, I'll be revamping the deck, to be more focused on getting Helm of the host cosistently and attacking it onto Aurelia, Godo, or Combat Celebrant.

Hi. Here is a nice combo: Adarkar Valkyrie + sac outlet (Altar of Dementia / Ashnod's Altar preferible due to its low cost) can give you infinte combat phases. Just target Aurelia (or Godo) with Adarkar Valkyries ability. Attack with Aurelia, untapping the valkyrie. Sacrifice Aurelia in the end of combat step so she returns. Repeat.
You can do the same with Angelic Renewal, the sac outlet and Sun Titan.
Other (mainstream) combos are Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Restoration Angel (already in your list)/ Zealous Conscripts.
Now, I suggest to you to cut some cards like Argentum Armor, its a high cost equipment with a high equip-cost that Vindicates. Nobilis of War its triggered ability doesnt worth it cmc.
I guess Samurai of the Pale Curtain is a meta call, I love that card.
