Quick question: Is her 3rd ability permanent, or only as long as she's on the battlefield? If it is permanent and you copy Iona, do you get to declare a second colour before they both blow up?

Ok, so what happens if my opponent has a mono green elf deck and he has his asceticism down before I put down my Iona? Can he still cast his creatures?

Okay, I'm confused...Can she stop you from using artifacts and what not? Or can she not stop colorless? Unless that in itself is a color?

@ NinjaEnigmatic the simple question to your answer is yes, because to use Gather Specimens Iona can't be in play yet. Here's what it looks like:
Player A: Cast Iona, Shield of Emeria, right now it's a creature spell that's being cast, so it hasn't hit the field yet meaning that her ability hasn't triggered and you can still play any color you want.
Player B: Casts Gather Specimens in response to Iona. (Player A has time to cancel the Gather Specimens if he/she can). So any creatures that would come into play, as in Iona and any creature spell Player A plays after Iona during this turn are yours. If Gather Specimens resolves, you control her, she comes into play onto your side of the field and you get to say the color you want.
It's mostly the same as, you played an Iona that costs 3UUU during player A's turn and you tapped nine of his/her's lands.
You can't do anything with Gather Specime... (see all)

She is really awesome, although at 9 mana cost I feel like by time anyone plays her the ability may not be as powerful as it sounds. Her ability also falls apart when she leaves the field aka stops functioning, so if she hits play and you guess the wrong color (about 50/50 chance since you don't know what your opponent has in hand) she gets exiled by a path to exile immediately, she wont do much good. Multi color decks are also less susceptible against deactivating the ability to only play one color. She is also a legendary so no you cannot copy her/duplicate her.
On a side note, angels in magic are all ridiculous powerful, and for some reason all female while all the demons appear to be male. Not really sure why that is, just something I thought I'd point out.
