Yeah, I was pretty bummed out about Rivals of Ixalan since it didn't seem to bring us anything, but this has made me happy!
Ainok Survivalist looks pretty good! Artifact/enchantment removal on a decent body is great for decks that want to maximize creature count for Lead the Stampede.
I'm also interested in seeing how Ruthless Ripper will turn out. It seems like a strong choice in MBC mirrors to kill Anglers and Merchants plus you get some loss of life out of the trigger.

I'm not sure Aniok Survivalist would be preferable to Wickerbough Elder, which does pretty much the same for the same CMC while giving you a bigger body. The only real difference (other than creature types), is that it costs 4G for the Survivalist to come in as a 3/2 that eats an artifact or enchantment vs. a 4/4 Elder for 3GG.
