I've had Iona, Shield of Emeria collecting dust in an old ww deck, and put this list together after dismantling most of my unplayed standard and edh collection.
I've always been bribery-phobic about user her in my decks, but as the bribery-proof general in a ramp and wrath bombing campaign, she seems like a good alternative to Akroma and Linvala (neither of which I currently own).
Strategy-wise the deck is pretty much a white control deck that attempts to ramp into Iona after wiping the field a few times. Equips are included to take advantage of the resultant mana gluts (strata scythe), piles of corpses (bonehoard), and maybe a sneaky win off the back of Felidar Sovereign (loxodon warhammer).
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm principally interested in refining a more concrete direction for this list. Whenever I'm deck building, I tend to be constantly inserting answer cards, over focusing on a winning strategy.

Deck wish list: 27+ snow-covered plains, to abuse the extraplanar lens trick.
