Rhox War Monk see a lot of play in legacy, being used in countertop control decks, new horizons, bant survival, etc. His 4 toughness and lifelink for only 3 mana makes this the go to guy (maindeck or sideboard) against fast aggro decks. He can survive a lightning bolt and can whack for 3 lifegain. Any deck running Tundra's, Tropical Islands, and fetches should have no problem plopping this guy down on turn 3 everytime. If you have a birds of paradise, noble heirarch, or an elvish spirit guide he can be out on turn 2 and will slow down your opponent's deck long enough to get yours established. 3 extra life every turn is pretty nice and will force your opponent to waste a removal spell that they would otherwise be saving for one of your late game fatties.
