Kinnan lets you yoink a creature out of the top five cards of your library, and gets you to the 7 mana you need to activate its ability in half as much time if you source your mana from Llanowar Elves and Simic Signets
The reason why we go with Esior over the more poular Siani, Eye of the Storm is that Esior is a guaranteed turn 2 play that we can cast before casting Eligeth, providing an extra layer of protection for our most important card
That said, considering it has to be against a creature and not simply target, means you wont be getting the benefit from hitting players themselves, or opponents can simply choose not to block with one of their creatures and that means no counters, but with spells like Duel for Dominance or Ents Fury that forces Wolverine to attack an opponents creature or enchantments like Fire Whip can mitigate this restriction pretty easily
