Volrath's Shapeshifter and Dimir Doppelganger would be good ways of essentially getting this into play both quickly and in a non-suicidal manner.
Alternately, hilarious with Phyrexian Dreadnought and Vedalken Orrery/Aluren. In response to the sacrifice trigger (choosing to sacrifice itself), play the Dreadnought and sacrifice your Jokulmorder to the Dreadnought. Of course, you'd still have to get it into play in the first place, and you might as well do the same trick with two Phyrexian Dreadnoughts...

I always used Rimewind Taskmage to untap this card. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.

This may be a cruel and unusual joke that defecates in the face of modern design sensibilities and common sense, but damned if don't look cool.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen... just stifle it as it comes into play, then untap it with either an isochron-sceptered twiddle or murkfiend liege or something similar. The enablers are out there, you just have to look.
Personally Leviathans (and certain Serpents too) are my favorite creature type. Because sometimes even blue has to put down the wizard staff and hang up its cloak and just ruin sh!t with a creature the size of an aircraft carrier. Who says smashy creatures should only be green?"

If you know about stifle, then you know about Phyrexian Dreadnought. There's a reason why this card is 25 cents and Dreadnought is $35. xD

I... I dont understand the point of leviathans. At all. its blue. Blue doesnt have 12/12 tramplers for 7 mana. Blue has the craziest game changing spells that bend the very laws of magic, not a card that rapes your manabase. Blue has answers to this card, not this card. I mean seriously. When those lands hit the graveyard nothing would please me more than to unsummon that muther back to where the *** came from.

I laugh when getting him out with Illusionary Mask in casual, then I explain how he's wearing the Mask, like on the very tip of his nose or something, and we all laugh heartily. Then he gets exiled.
