One of the best target cards in a reanimator deck

I've been completely screwed by this card and it is NOT fun. It's easy to say run two or three colour decks but sometimes you're struggling to draw into removal of the correct colour, and a lot of multi-colour decks are often benefiting from multi-colour cards anyway, which isn't going to help.
She's expensive, I guess, which is an upside when you're against her. But a green-white deck can easily blitz her out. And if you're using Kaalia, well, you're just evil.

What the matter, guys? There is no problem : I just have colorless artifacts and some Eldrazis!
EDIT : Oh yeah, gg to people who hardcast it. I still prefer to Entomb it and Reanimate it after XD.

I once thought I had an opponent made when I dropped this in a casual game. All he had was a Sun Titan on the field in his monowhite deck, and I had a heavy wall of blockers. Either way, he didn't play any lands for a turn or two until he had to discard a card. He discarded Oblivion Ring, then attacked with the Titan.
Iona, I hardly knew ye.

If I run her in a deck I will also need to run Painter's Servant. It's only fair I screw over ALL of my opponents.

Swamp, Dark Ritual, Entomb, Exhume.
Victory count: +1
Friend count: -1
Fortunately, I play artifacts :)
But it is still a 7/7 threat turn 1, so:
Mishra's Workshop, Mox Diamond, Mana Vault, Duplicant.
However, this would be hilarious:
Mishra's Workshop, Mox Diamond, Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, Sol Ring, Echo Chamber, "
".

It is undoubtedly bad design when a single card destroys your entire deck, negates any counter measures, can hit the battlefield as early as turn one (why did she get no "reanimation-inhibitor", like Progenitus and co. did?), needs not much thought playing, and kills all the fun you might have had otherwise.
There are ways to deal with her, but if you happen to play a deck without tons of differently colored solutions (or no colors at all), this bi*** WILL screw you over.
It can't be good for business, if you print cards that bore and annoy one player, while the other one simply finishes the game alone, either.
Ich finde Iona jedenfalls nervtötend und langweilig, würde sie nie spielen (und ich spiele mehr als ein weißes Deck) und wüsste auch nicht, wer so dermaßen versessen auf's Gewinnen sein könnte, dass er sie in einem casual deck spielen würde. In 'nem "ernsthaften" Wettkampf könnte ich's ja vielleicht nachvollziehen, aber selbst DA wäre mir dieser Engel zu öde. Drop 'n' Win. W... (see all)
