By turning every land on the battlefield into an Island, Stormtide Leviathan not only grants itself unblockable islandwalk and locks down ground attacks, but it also creates the ultimate vulnerability for your opponents under Choke. Because Choke completely prevents those newly minted Islands from untapping during your opponents' untap steps, their entire mana bases are effectively frozen solid. Meanwhile, Seedborn Muse brilliantly bypasses this restriction for you, taking advantage of its ability to untap all your permanents during each other player's untap step so you remain fully primed while your adversaries are left stranded with useless lands.
