truly awesome. always a "no discussion" 4-of in my bant deck.
(which i'm quite proud of by the way.)
very rarely am i disappointed in the reaction my opponent gives when seeing this along with Noble Hierarch on my second turn.

Competes with Kitchen Finks in eternal formats as anti-aggro tech. Better than Kitchen Finks in Legacy due to being able to carry equipment like Umezawa's Jitte better. In Modern Kitchen Finks sees more play due to its combo potential, ability to survive sweepers, and less restrictive mana cost. However, Kitchen Finks is vulnerable to hate such as Pillar of Flame, Magma Spray, Deathrite Shaman, and Scavenging Ooze whereas Rhox War Monk is not.
I think Loxodon Smiter is generally better than this card at the moment due to the Modern meta being heavier on discard and counters and relatively light on aggro.

This and Knight of the Reliquary are the cards that inspired me to pursue the Bant archetype.
Rhox War Monk can dominate many strategies when played correctly. It can shutdown heavy aggro and out-race tempo. It can be used as anti-burn for having 4 toughness (a.k.a. above Lightning Bolt range) and lifelink to help you survive it. If anything, it is a great holder of equipment.
I almost always keep at least one in my deck to fetch with a Green Sun's Zenith when needed. I guess it could be thought of as Batterskull #2.
