Iona, Shield of Emeria, Legendary creature — angel, designed by Jason Chan first released in Oct, 2009 in the set Zendikar and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's a key card in 1 combos.
Iona, Shield of Emeria is a powerful card that can be a game-changer in a control deck, especially in a mono-white or white-heavy deck that aims to lock down opponents' strategies by preventing them from casting spells of a chosen color. While Iona is a strong choice for such a strategy, some players may prefer other options like Linvala, Keeper of Silence or Avacyn, Angel of Hope for their versatility and immediate impact on the board. Ultimately, whether Iona should see play depends on the specific strategy and meta of the deck, but it can definitely be a potent tool in the right circumstances.

Iona’s third ability includes permanent spells (artifacts, creatures, enchantments, and planeswalkers), not just instant and sorcery spells. It does not include lands or abilities (such as cycling or unearth).
