This card has saved me when I was in a pinch more than once.
Ex:
Me: 5 life
Opponent: 18 life
I manage to summon this, and BAM. The tides have been turned!
I also just thought of a funny combo: this + Master Biomancer + Sapphire Drake... Hello, Wind Fish! XD
Awesome card
5/5

I combo this with a Levitation in my blue/green deck and it gets nasty when you have 3-4 massive creatures with flying on the field and your opponent cant attack.

A huge huge huge card, but in a blue/white deck or some kind of blue aggro deck, this is pretty much a win condition. Wrecks the land base, stalls out the board, and swings in untouched. An ideal candidate for Infinite Reflection. Very slow, but if you've done your job in a control deck of stalling out the board and making life miserable, this might be your best bet as a creature win condition.

Pity he doesn't let Islandhome creatures attack. Poor poor Islandhome, we barely knew ye.

Some people posting seem to be forgetting that it's not just islandwalk that can attack, fliers do just fine.
Anyway, this is a pretty grand card.

This works well in a Simic Dissension Deck if you mod it right. That deck brings out lands really fast.
It also makes this thing even more terrifying.

I win games with this card.
Not because he's a beefy 8/8 with unblockable status. I just use him to lock the field down because nobody packs nearly enough flying, let alone islandwalk.
I win with this card, and I don't even sully my hands by killing them (go straight for the mill). That's the mark of an awesome creature, if you can keep him alive. And you're blue. Redirect and Counterspell l will have you covered.

This card is really good. If they can't kill it that's pretty much game, especially against any deck that doesn't have flyers.
5/5
