@Boomfat First of all, nice name bro! ;D Now, having to do with the card: First off, I'd say you did wonderfully in the balance of this and the picture is absolutely amazing. I have to say, though, that having first strike AND islandwalk might be a bit strange, for the simple reason that if the defending player has an island, first strike becomes useless, and possibly a risk if the opponent has something to target the first strike and use it against you. So, long story short, I would make it have one or the other.
@frazie107 Honestly, this card works very well... until you add the board wipe. I would say that the kind of decks this would be used in would be hurt more than helped by a board wipe. So if I were you, I'd decrease it's rarity to rare and get rid of the board wipe.
@Damnation Flavor-wise, I love this card. If I had to criticize it, though, I would say you need to lower it's power and toughness. If you think about it, most magic creatures costs' are based on the power, toughness, AND any other abilities. For instance, Daggerdrome Imp is a 1/1 with flying and lifelink and is a 2-drop. So what I would do for worldbiter is to lower it's power and toughness. I'm not saying to raise the cost for the simple reason that it's already an incredibly late-game card.
@Sylux Same advice for you as for Damnation. I would raise the cost, simply because this is an extremely powerful ability. That being said, it will also be incredibly late-game to get this out.
@DeepSky If Tidal is your own mechanic, then kudos to you for an awesome one. if not, good use of it on this card. If I were to criticize something, it would probably be the simple fact that Tidal 3 would make more sense, as it would then range from a 3/6 to a 6/3. Other than that, job well done!
3 days left! Keep going!
Oh, and By the way, does anyone know how to close a discussion? Thanks ahead of time.
Here is my attempt, I'm not sure about balance...all I can say is that I tried! I'm still working on balance, but I'll get it done eventually.

Unsure about it though.
