The emphasis of this deck is to cheat Iona, Shield of Emeria or another key card like Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Avacyn, Angel of Hope out as quick as possible to disable the opponent. **Any ideas on how to get Iona, Shield of Emeria out as quick as possible? It still doesn't seem quick enough. Thoughts?**

~~As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome. I'd love to hear of some cards that would really take this deck to the next level. If you think the deck is good, please +1 it.~~

The Strategy:

* Get Iona, Shield of Emeria out as soon as possible using Quicksilver Amulet .

* Get Quicksilver Amulet out as soon as possible using Enlightened Tutor .

* Use Wall of Glare or Palace Guard + Flickering Ward or Prismatic Ward to help last long enough to get Iona, Shield of Emeria out.

Mainboard Notes:

* Avacyn, Angel of Hope: No complaints here ... Maybe sub with Platinum Angel.

* Entreat the Angels is great when casted with the miracle cost. Even just getting out 1 x 4/4 angel for 3 mana (miracle cost) is great.

SideBoard Notes:

* Emrakul, the Aeons Torn : Thought about this for protection against mill decks and for other obvious reasons. casting cost isn't a factor since Quicksilver Amulet is in the deck, and even if it's still in the library, it provides protection from milling.

* Leyline of Sanctity : This might help me hold on longer until I can get the right cards out to disable the opponent. Get it out when needed with Enlightened Tutor .

* Platinum Angel : Quicksilver Amulet and Enlightened Tutor means I can get this out when needed for relatively low cost since it's an artifact and a creature.

~~As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome. I'd love to hear of some cards that would really take this deck to the next level. If you think the deck is good, please +1 it.~~

~~Thanks!~~

Added Pariah — Feb. 13, 2013

Edit

Added Pariah so that I can pair it up with Wall of Glare and Flickering Ward in order to protect myself and give me some time to get out Iona, Shield of Emeria or Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or Avacyn, Angel of Hope in order to win the game.
Demoted Leyline of Sanctity to the sideboard along with Entreat the Angels
