Aurelia Leads the Charge
Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice is a compact commander of tempo and combat math. The card text rewards attacking lines and careful creature selection. With a casting cost of {2}{R}{W} you get a 2 5 flier that mentors into a broad range of aggressive strategies. Mentor protects smaller attackers while Aurelia herself forces favorable trades by boosting a chosen creature at the start of combat.
In Boros decks this Angel doubles as a combat engine and a board stabilizer. The bonus is situational and therefore strategic. Pick a red attacker for trample and the damage clock accelerates. Pick a white attacker for vigilance and the board does not lose momentum after trading. The anime borderless treatment makes this near mint piece a nice tabletop focal point while it supports both limited and constructed builds in Ravnica Remastered play.
