Commander Deck Help forum

I just can't make up my own mind and when I ask someone they don't know either or, multiple people say some other commander that I happen to not have atm. So it would be great if you can help me chose between Aurelia, the Warleader or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and give some reasons why.
I play Gisela myself and I am totally happy with her. My deck tries to run only a few creatures and more stax like cards Manabarbs, Ankh of Mishra, Price of Glory, Smoke so that I only need Gisela and an equipment or enchantment to make her deal massive damage. She is easier to cast with artifact mana and I like her a lot. Nonetheless I have aurelia in the deck too. Gisela has a much higher impact than aurelia. Aurelia needs a bunch of creatures to make the most of her ability. This is at least why I use Gisela. I might change it in the future (aurelia is faster)

Aurelia is pretty much pure aggro and her ability is conditional (she is required to attack) unlike Gisela. If you want a little variety you could run Gisela she doesn't have to be aggro oriented but is fine with it. You can also sit back with a stax build as mentioned earlier and let everyone kill each other. Double strike creatures are great with both. I'd go Gisela between those two. Well, I actually went Tajic "blows up the world" with my Boros deck lol. Nothing quite like obliterating everything with Worldslayer

Repercussion can't recommend that card enough. Especially with Gisela lol.

I'm liking Aurelia more, but only because you can find ways to cheat her into quite a few attacks with flicker abilities. Looking at the two together, (because they have fantastic synergy) I believe that Gisela would do better helping Aurelia as a commander than the other way around

Unfortunately the both have pros, and both could have a different play style to the deck.
Warleader:
Pros: costs less, Aurelia combos with more cards, has haste and vigilance.
Gisela: bigger body, first strike, makes all your creatures deal more damage, and your opponnets creatures deal less damage.
Sorry, I wasn't more help, but I am using both of these cards in the 99 in my boros build which I am either using Iroas, God of Victory or Tajic, Blade of the Legion as my commander.
