So, one of my favorite decks I ever built is Aurelia, the Warleader. It had been taken apart for a long time, but I put it back together and I still love it. When I first was buying cards for it, I couldn't bring myself to spend enough money to get a Ranger of Eos but, now I want to pick one up.
So, here is my question. What do you guys think is a decent number of one drops for me to run to search up with him. Also, what are some good hits for him do you think? I already have Figure of Destiny in the deck and will soon be putting in a Legion Loyalist.
Stonewright is a decent grab for Aurelia since giving her fire breathing through Soulbond really has an impact through multiple attack phases.
Salvage Scout is also a great way to recur an equipment card back to your hand for use especially since it's not a tap ability.
Nova Cleric gives you an enchantment board wipe after a turn.

Most good ones are already covered, so I'll go with the other question: I'd say go with at least 5 decent targets. That way, the chances of drawing the Ranger and not having two targets left is going to be very small, and you should be able to grab a few utility dudes.
The bestow guys are only good if you can put out enough mana to bestow them and keep going, they might do quite some work on Aurelia herself, and Gisela, if you play her.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
We've covered these pretty effectively, but don't sleep on Goblin Bushwhacker. I'm the only person I've seen play it and I've fond memories of killing people out of nowhere with from a modest board position, or a big evasive double striker in need of haste.
