Looking for help trying to fing a Stax Boros Commander.

I'm currently working on a Boros deck regarding Stax/Hatebears. However, it seems all such things do is either Tap to attack or otherwise. Any ideas for such a Commander I'm looking for in these Colors would be great. Good luck.
I just wanted to see if this is possible on cEDH as well... Good luck finding a Stax Boros Commander! ^-^
EDIT: Obviously this is the deck I was referring to...
Gisela Purifies the Non-Believers of cEDH Boros
Commander / EDH*

This deck is Artifact Heavy, & it's Stax level, insane. All I need is a decent commander for this.
...
Oh, & to the guy that said something like "BOOM! Who's talking shit (As in, the Boros Hate.) now?", you rock. ^_^
Boros is notoriously meh in commander. I really hope this works out for you so you can throw it people's face and be like BOOM! Talk shit now. :p
The Command Zone is one of my favorite podcasts, so this should turn out ok...the problem is card draw in boros is practically non-existent. You can rummage, and cards like Mentor of the Meek exist, but they are few and far between. Best of luck to you! The good news is you have plenty of board wipes in Wrath of God, Cleansing Nova, Vandalblast, and Day of Judgment. Ramp you'll be reliant on artifacts, single target you're moderately limited but you do have 2 of the best in Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile.

You may want to consider Adriana, Captain of the Guard for your Commander. Build up a token deck and cards that support creature abilities and it xan get powerful quickly. Throw in Aurelia, the Warleader for two combat rounds each turn and the second round of Combat becomes massive. This isn't counting additional combat rounds from other sources, but just factor a 1/1 token with three opponents. Each token, with an attack on each opponent, goes to a 4/4 first round and to a 7/7 on the second round. This becomes more painful with Iroas, God of Victory protecting each creature from dying in Combat.

Revised the OP as I must've been acting like an idiot by referring to a thing that doesn't apply to cEDH. That said, any other ideas? Adriana, Captain of the Guard is more Voltron based, so she's out of the picture. Although... Partner Duos in this case MIGHT work. Though I do want to know any alternatives & what you think of the deck to further educate how the deck works.

@ALL: Thanks for the help thus far; I wish I had the same for some others outside this post thus far... Actually, unless anyone can disagree, given they checked the deck for how it works, I may actually consider Akiri, Line-Slinger + Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder . Any objections?

Seems like a good win-con. I think Gisela, Blade of Goldnight fits more thematically, though as it literally taxes their combat damage.

I agree with BLEATH, maybe make a punisher subtheme with cards like Sulfuric Vortex and Manabarbs?

If you build punisher subtheme, you can run stuff like Personal Sanctuary and War's Toll.

@BLEATH & Arcaneful: Well, I might have a new Commander After all... Keep in mind, though, that cEDH as a subformat is extremely competitive; & I just want stuff that works against the format. While what is now The Broken Blade is Tier 3; I'm aiming for at least Tier 2.5. Maybe you guys might have a good reason for suggesting this? We're dealing with cEDH you know...

I mean, what cards should I cut for the following?
I'll start testing right away unless anyone else has stuff to contribute. But as it is, My Commander is set.

Akiri, Line-Slinger + Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder can work quite nicely. Artifact provide your ramp and Stax and since Akiri has both vigilance and first strike, Winter Orb like effects do nothing to her and she is really hard hitting. Bruse Tarl giving her double strike is just nasty.
