Stopping Iona w/ Green

Legacy Deck Help forum

I'm playing a black/green deck and if a player can put out Iona, Shield of Emeria and picks black, I am screwed. Other than beating them before it comes out, what can I do to get rid of Iona after she's in play?

Plummet or Clip Wings are ways to get rid of Iona. Mycosynth Lattice changes all cards in all zones to colorless.

The decks that can put Iona into play are not a large percentage of the metagame at all, so I wouldn't bother with it. Liliana of the Veil is good in general, and happens to kill Iona as well.

Beast Within is my favorite answer. As it generally has a ton of misc applications and value built in.

EmblemMan Iona doesn't really see Legacy play so the answers to it are kinda weird
