This is my first deck post and I guess I'm just looking for a bit of a review or card suggestions.
It's pretty dry cut; Just Stall and Ramp (slowly) into Iona or Beats via Akroma, Yosei, BSA or some other weenie.
As far as artifact mana accel goes, it's hard to beat Gilded Lotus, especially because it can provide the triple white necessary for Iona. I also like Thran Dynamo and Everflowing Chalice. I notice most of your sweepers don't hit artifacts, so anything to ramp you into an early Iona to lock out problem opponents is good.

I'm already running Angelic Arbiter and Spirit of the Hearth
I DO like the blink idea.. I'll phase Flickerwisp in for... Rule Of Law / Ethersworn Canonist?

You might also think about Ranger of Eos to nab Mother of Runes and other one-drops.
Mind's Eye is a great way to draw cards. Tower of Fortunes isn't bad either, especially if you add more artifact ramp.
(I also find it odd that Iona is your casual pick. She's a great general, though.)

I just gotta reconfigure the slottage~
Yeah, Iona isn't so casual but... My playgroup favors Zur, Sygg and Oona;
I figure I might as well try for my favorite color, ya?
Not sure I like Magus of the Disk... I'm thinking that'll be an open slot for something.
