will essence scatter work on this thing? lets say you respond to this thing entering the battliefield with essence scatter or counter, but they choose blue.
i checked the details of the card, but i dont see a reason a counter card shouldnt work

@Dingo777 I could be wrong here, but I think Iona's effect ends when she leaves the battlefield. Notice how Obsidian Fireheart's ability specifies that the effect continues even after he leaves play. My thinking is that Iona's effect would include a similar clause if her ability did hang around whether or not she's still in play.
I could be wrong though. Either way, still a fantastic card.

Umm...why hasnt anyone said anything about Polymorph and this card....
T1- land, ponder
T2- land, explore, khalni garden as extra land
T3- if opponent is tapped out, land, cast polymorph target the plant token and boom instant Iona...
the deck runs 2 Iona's with 2 see beyonds in case she jumps into your hand...no other creature's and use growth spasm's, gardens, and garruk to put in tokens to polymorph...also works with Emerakul, the aeons torn

If my opponent have Iona Shield of Emeria in play and the chosen colour is green, will I be able to cast Hypergensis via cascade or suspend? Thanks.

Use this with Reconnaissance and Splinter Twin.
EDIT: Ah damn, so you're right klaff. Hey, look on the bright side...with this true she's not monumentally broken.

turn 1: swamp, dark ritual, buried alive (find her, Reya Dawnbringer, and Akroma)
turn2: swamp, exhume Reya Dawnbringer
mostly i like to open with her(or it the betrays), swamp, (blackmail, mire tole, raven's crime, or skull fracture) another swamp (or dark ritual) and exhume
target myself to discard said fatty, then next turn, GG
personally i like to blackmail myself revealing dark ritual, fatty and exhume, just to push it in their face that next turn i'll be bringing a monster onto the board

should have made it all players cant cast spells of a certain color, this ruins decks by itself and with reanimaters they can put it out turn 2-3, just a ridiculous card

Just another creature to break with Entomb.

Akroma wins as often can hardly be destroyed with her protection, (of course there are ways) but still I like iona 5/5
