This? Better than Spreading Seas? That's... questionable. Card disadvantage is not really worth the one mana.

Good for Merfolk/islandwalk decks.

Of course now we have spreading seas but this is much better being that it's a one-drop.

I'm gonna say that at nearly all times Spreading Seas is going to be superior to this, because Seas can disrupt your opponents mana or sometimes give you islandwalk bonuses without even losing a card.

I'd call this card a home run. Great flavor text, art, and function.

Spreading Sees is better if you are trying to thin your deck by using cheap cantrips with potentially useful effects. Of course, the Phyrexian mana cards like Gitaxian Probe just blow that out of the water (no pun intended). Sea's claim is better in decks where disrupting your opponent's mana base is your main goal. When you are trying to do that, you need the extra speed to lock them down until you can bring out Quicksilver Fountain or suchlike.
Of course, you could just play both...

Four of this, four Spreading Seas, four Convincing Mirage, and lots and lots of cascade spells. Whoooooo, Islands...
