So, this card has islandwalk, and all lands - mine, yours, all of 'em - are Islands (as well as whatever), and nothing except creatures with islandwalk can attack. 'Cause, you know, we all keep tons of landwalk creatures around, right?
Ok, to summarize:
1. Play Stormtide Leviathan
2. Opponent weeps

This card is like a mix of Lorthos, the Tidemaker and Inkwell Leviathan, being a bit better than the former though a bit less cool, and a bit worse than the latter though a bit more cool. Anyway, it's nice for monoblue to have a bunch of big fishy finishers to choose from. 5/5.

Such a great finisher for monoblue control.
The cost isn't a problem for that sort of deck because the game will be going late if you're playing well, and you'll have more than enough counterspells to protect him once he's out. Once he hits the field, most enemy creatures can't attack and none of them can block this thing, so you're pretty much good to go.
The issue of enemy fliers is easily solved if you're running Talrand, Sky Summoner in your deck. His 2/2 Drakes clog up the sky perfectly for chumping enemy fliers (you should only need a couple turns anyways, 8 unblockable damage is a big deal), and they can always swing in if you really need the extra damage.
This is a big, impressive finisher for a decktype that often gets labelled as boring.
The flavour with Talrand feels perfect, too.
