It's a lot of words for common, I know, but the first two abilities are quite simple.
Fixed a typo, changed P/T slightly.
It is pretty simple, but it would be fighting with the other islandwalkers for space-we should probably only have two at common. Also, we should probably stick with mill or flood, not both.
Milling for each island is a nice idea because it's a way of making a large number of islands matter (although I'm still not sure about milling in general).
We probably want one card that both floods and island and benefits from it at common. But my instinct is this would probably be better as two separate cards (or at uncommon, maybe as a 3/X).
This may also be better with (a different casting cost, p/t, etc..) no evasion. I could see people trying to put together the pieces for a rogue mill deck that involve drafting this creature and finding ways of getting him in there. After all, if the card was so good that everyone played it, everyone would draft it and we'd have to depower it so drafts didn't become about how many Mind Washers you were able to snag.
You're right, it's probably better without evasion. Jack, blue usually has at least one miller, I think, so we should probably follow suit with that. It doesn't need to be a theme.
Changed to uncommon so that it may have a second chance in that slot. It's just too much stuff for common.
