Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood

Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood plays like a slow rising tide that rewrites the board. When it enters the battlefield or attacks you place a flood counter on a target land and that land gains Island in addition to its other types while the counter remains. That change is simple but powerful. It can fix color, trigger island synergies, and lock opponents out of non blue mana when applied repeatedly.

At the beginning of your end step you untap each permanent you control that has a counter on it. This turns flood counters into a resource for recurring tempo and repeated value. Treat Xolatoyac as a commander level plan for mana denial, token or artifact decks that benefit from untap effects, and any build that wants a reliable source of Island triggers. The card reads clearly and functionally so it integrates into lists without guesswork.
