After scouring the internet for Rona decks, i decided to build it myself.

The whole premise is creating infinite mana with Krark-Clan Ironworks+Rona, Disciple of Gix+ Any artifact that is 0-1 mana or a 2 mana rock with no activation cost. Then you can either draw out your library with Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries. Or as you infinitely cast an artifact, gain infinite life with Aetherflux Reservoirand kill everyone else in one go. Other wincons are Cabal Paladin or Efficient Construction/Mirrodin Besieged/Sai, Master Thopterist. You can also just make your playgroup hate you by taking infinite turns with Karn's Temporal Sundering (I'm pretty sure this works with Rona but I couldn't find a confirmation cause no one cares about this commander) or you can just play the game for someone else with Mindslaver.

The biggest problem with Rona is if she dies or blinked, any cards she has exiled with her ability is lost for the rest of the game. So the most important thing is protecting her through the equipment or the many, many counterspells.

I think with a bit of luck, Rona can be a good commander if you willing to have your whole game ruined by having all your good artifacts exiled forever.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm fairly new to building my own EDH decks on my own without other decks to reference. If there are anything that should be added or removed or if I should just give up on trying to make this commander viable, just let me know!
