Iona is so awesome, played a chaos match with 5 people had her out reya dawnbringer emeria the sky ruin and debtors knell, Iona shut down 2 players and I just pounded the other players to pieces with ny twilight shepherds and deathbeds angle! Not to mention I had angelic chorus so my health just sky rocketed, was so awesome was like 4v1 but meh let's say 2v1 since the others got shut down, LOVE IONA!!!

i use this in my blue white control, cuz i dont have the money to buy all the planeswalkers, and i pulled this out of a pack, great alternative, keep countering and dealing with their spells and monsters, then bam iona, shut down either ALL of their deck, or part of it depending how many colors, great card, not that hard to summon actually

The new star in a re-animator deck.
1st turn: play swamp, dark ritual, entomb (discards this) and animate dead.
works really well with painter's servant!

Don't pay for it's cost of 9. Reanimate on turn 1 and make your opponent cry.

this card is just so good in a reanimator deck i play reanimator i have done very well with deck and about 80% time i will entomb turn 1 for iona then play exhume and then it pretty much it for my opponent the only thing that is stoping the card is that it dose not have shroud so karakas really screws it up i play legacy every other week with about 15-30 players and i have alawys done will with my reanimator deck about the only time i dont get iona with entomb if i am playing zoo then i usually sphinx i have never bought a foil card i find that they are rip offs but i will for iona is just that good

Probably the best thing for reanimator since Akroma. Second turn shutdown of nearly any deck you play against. A giant pain in the butt to say the least. I bought 3 from Troll and Toad at a great price and got them within the week in great condition.

Should be banned in EDH (Commander if you're new to it) for the reason that against a mono colored deck she's an instant win. You can come up with situations all you want to say why she shouldn't but she still needs to be banned. A lot of good EDH generals are mono colored and she instantly shuts them down and gives them THREE turns to get rid of her if she's the general, 6 if she's not (considering the person hasn't gained life). And three to six turns to draw an artifact like Nevinyrral's Disk to deal with her in a 100 card deck of single cards is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Powerful, if not severely limited card. As a mono white player, if you don't expect this it can catch you off guard and has cost me a couple games. If you know it's in your opponents deck, you splash some multi-colored lands of your preference and throw four removal cards in and you're golden.

It's why I use sunpetal groves in a mono deck; I can sideboard plummet and deal with this card when she comes up. Iona's great if you can surprise your opponent but after the first game they'll know better and find one of the many ways to counter.

@Mark - Are you familiar with a card called Reanimate? How about Animate Dead? How about Putrid Imp? How about Dark Ritual?

I've gotten this guy out turn 1 many a time, however that doesn't make him unbeatable since reanimator is still foiled hardcore by Leyline of the Void, Tormod's Crypt, Extirpate, etc. Still, definitely an awesome addition to reanimator as a whole. Can't give him more than a 3 star due to reanimation hate and the fact that he only blocks one color and since blue (bounce), black (snuff out), and white (swords to plowshares) all have answers for this guy all you need is to run 2 of those colors to keep him from being a game winner.

cards good if you use something like a polymorph, reanimate, elvish piper, etc. But then again, what are your chances of getting a polymorph and an iona in the first few turns? If you don't get the stuff out extremely fast, this won't do anything.

This is way too expensive to play and all of my decks will kill you long before you can get this unplayable thing on the field. Its horribly over rated
