The challenge for this set is to make even the bad work and matter. And sink is bad.
While sink less open a design than even ingest, I feel like I'm stuck on making Processors to make it matter. On the plus side, I feel like it is alright to let you reclaim your own sunken cards, since there are better checks on how they got exiled. Makes the mechanic more parasitic though.
I have no idea on balance yet. This card seems to do a little much for common, but I can revisit it later, maybe move the wordy cards to uncommon.
Waterworld has the issue that many creature types could end up blue-leaning, so I go for double creature types to give the creature type (in this case Shark) a nudge towards another color.
