Card draw —March 30, 2018
Recently it came to my attention that this deck lacks in the card draw department, a serious weakness in EDH. So I've added Mentor of the Meek, Skullclamp, and Staff of Nin to increase my card draw. Plus I threw in Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep. Dictate of Heliod and Ceradon Yearling have been removed.

Well @WeaperDrek, thank you for the feeback! The deck is indeed a blast to play! And a misery to play against as well! Thanks to this deck's indestructibility, I can often survive long enough to launch a massive attack. And this deck THRIVES late-game, especially with enough time to use my Planeswalker's ults, let Anointed Procession, Assemble the Legion, and Cathar's Crusade combo together to form a hugely buffed army, and get my angels of the field. Though I am well aware card draw is one of this deck's weaknesses. Sometimes I do worry getting going early, as my friends know never to let this deck build itself up. Aside from exile removals, them outdrawing me is common. I thank you for the suggestions I will take them into consideration. I did check out your deck as well and it is wonderfully made!

A very flavourful deck led by my favourite general Aurelia must be a blast to play!However, I would be concerned by your lack of draw abilities, since there will be many opponents that don't approve of your huge board and will do everything in thier power to stop you, so you will run out of cards in your hand AND on your battlefield pretty fast. You should consider adding some good card draw in your deck, Skullclamp and Mentor of the Meek would be great starts, since killing a few of your tokens to draw a new hand is just SO powerful, whereas Mentor will keep your hand full if you pay a small cost of 1.
Myself i would include even more card draw, as you can see in my Aurelia deck Aurelia, the Warleader EDH - Make them panic, but our decks are very different approaches to Aurelia, so I only gave you the suggestions that have good synergy with your token and board swarm strategies. I hope they help in your quest to unite the legions and defeat your opponents!
