How does this deck cast iona? I mean, do you just hope to get 3 caverns after you sideboard her in? Or is there a way to cheat her in? Because aether vile would seem like it would take a while to get to all the way to 9

Yeah. I don't love that tho. Totally non-interactive way to sorta sometimes combat Omnitell only, if the go the omniscience route.

Actually, if you have her in hand when they land {show and tell}, you can just put her down as well.

I get what it's for, but it's only good against Omnitell. If they show in an emrakul, it does nothing at all.

Ah, yes, I see. I misunderstood your comment.
If what they show will kill you, stopping them from casting anything else isn't that great.
