13. Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice – Guilds of Ravnica

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard"

Why is it good?

One of the Angelic commanders for the Boros Legion makes another appearance in Guilds of Ravnica. While other versions of Aurelia were powerful on their own, this incarnation works well with others. Her Mentor ability pumps up other crits, but it’s the +2/+0 with trample and vigilance for Boros crits that sets her apart from other creature lords. Aurelia is also thick lady. With a toughness of 5, she is just out of reach for cheese burns such as Lava Coils and Lightning Strikes.

Where is it used?

Aurelia, Examplar of Justice, is the cornerstone of the Boros Aggro build. She is the staple for the 4-drop slot and she can end things pretty quickly just by entering the battlefield and “cheering on” her Legion with her pumps and mentor abilities.
