Snowbound Saboteur
Ainok Survivalist plays like a utility creature you keep in reserve and drop when the board needs pruning. The megamorph line on the card gives you a low cost face down body that can be turned face up later for value. When it hits, the triggered ability removes an opponent controlled artifact or enchantment which makes it a neat answer in decks that expect sticky permanents.
This card reads well in grindy games where timing matters. Cast it face down to bait removal or to stabilize early life totals. Flip it with the megamorph cost and gain a permanent removal effect and a +1/+1 counter. The flavor sits comfortably in a cold setting where scavenger shamans use the land and the tools of others to survive.
