Use Iona as a General since it will probably lock out atleast half a deck.
List looks pretty solid. Maybe Martyr of Sand and Felidar Sovereign for an alternate win-con but I don't think you need it.
Maybe Snow plains and Scrying Sheets... Not sure if snow symbols are allowed.

Lt of tiny irrelevant bodies there. Does a calciderm mean squat when it's up against Demons and Dragons?

I pondered this a little, but I'm not sure there are any mono-red demons in the format. You see, as I stated in original post, this is going to be either a red, green or white commander game. Or perhaps a combo of 2 of the 3. Anyways, if they can get out a huge dragon by turn 3 or 4, then I don't have much of a chance really.
I did make a little bit of changes. I noticed I had a little too much removal for stuff that wasn't on the bored in the first game I played with Isamaru as my general. So I tweaked it and I'm going to play with Iona as my general next game, see how that goes.
Anyway, thanks both for your input.

Holy smokes this deck ROCKED when played with Iona as general! I made some vital changes, mainly I took out a little board removal, but put in spot removal and some stuff that deals with just about everything. The only thing I have very little of is graveyard hate, but I will add that as time goes on.
I won the last EDH game with 28 life at the end! ::pats self on back::

Here is a list of a few cards I might add in the future: Planar Portal  -not sure about this one, may add it if Iona gets Hinder  ed or something to that effect more than once, but I don't plan on adding it anytime soon. Expedition Map  - to tutor the Emeria land, if I can find a spot for it, I'll probably add this soon, or I may add Weathered Wayfarer  for above purpose Boseiju, Who Shelters All  - probably going to add this after the tournament, this deck all but scoops to massive control that's about it for now... I may add some bigger, better creatures after the upcoming tournament, to deal with the bigger, badder creatures that black and or blue combos would allow. Any other suggestions?

It's not something you necessarily have to have, but if you can get your hands on it, Eiganjo Castle  is nice to have. Preventing 2 damage to your general isn't a lot, but it could be just enough to save her, and it doesn't come into play tapped, so it's no worse than a regular land. It goes for $0.79 on trollandtoad.com which, for the record, sells a lot of cards at lower prices than found elsewhere.
Also, I was under the impression that you could play other legendary creatures in your deck aside from you general as long as your opponent(s) weren't running that creature as theirs. I'm not sure about how it's run locally where you are, but if that's the case you might want to consider some.
