Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice lands as a 2/5 flying, vigilance, mentor threat that pumps a teammate every combat — meaningful on-board pressure for four mana the turn she arrives. She's not Aurelia, the Warleader, but she earns her slot in Boros strategies that want a steady midrange beater rather than a second-combat engine.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Aurelia, the Warleader
Aurelia, the Warleader decks run Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice as a redundant Angel body that keeps growing attackers through mentor while the Warleader sets up extra combat steps — two Aurelias on board means every swing pumps and then swings again.
General Ferrous Rokiric
General Ferrous Rokiric triggers a Golem token off Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice's multicolor casting cost, then uses her mentor trigger to immediately pump that token into a real threat.
Aurelia, the Law Above
Aurelia, the Law Above wants a critical mass of Angels and combat-relevant bodies, and Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice delivers both in one card — a flying mentor that slots cleanly into the tribal spine.
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight already doubles damage going in the right direction; Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice's +1/+1 pump on a mentored attacker stacks obscenely well with that doubling, turning modest buffs into lethal math.
Iroas, God of Victory
Iroas, God of Victory removes blockers and prevents combat damage to your team, letting Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice connect freely and consistently trigger mentor every attack step.

In Commander, Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice is a reliable four-mana threat in Boros midrange and Angel tribal builds — the mentor trigger scales well in a multiplayer format where you're almost always attacking with multiple creatures. In Modern and Pioneer, she's been outpaced by more efficient threats; four mana is a steep ask for a card that doesn't close games on its own. Legacy and Vintage are simply too fast for a ground-based value creature at this cost. Oathbreaker is her best non-Commander home if you're building around a Boros signature spell shell, though she rarely shows up there in practice.
