I question the inclusion of siege rhino,instead you whould be running sera angel(4/4 flying vigilance), avacyn gardian angel(great control card due to its ability to grant protection and it is a flying vigilance 5/4) there is also monastary mentor who benefits from lots of non-creature cards in a deck

Siege Rhino is included as of its straight up value. Serra Angel, whilst being a nice flyer with vigilance doesn't really have a whole lot going for it other than that. Where as Siege Rhino has a lasting impact from the moment it resolves and enters play. Other than being another vigilance flyer Avacyn Guardian Angel requires constant pouring of mana into her abilities for her to be any different. Her abilities dont change the game state and only get you by a couple more turns, also the 2WWW mana cost isn't always the easiest to hit in a three colour deck. Monastery Mentor whilst being a very good card doesn't exactly benefit the deck as much as other creatures. The tokens that can be generated from it can be made far quicker and more efficiently with Lingering Souls.

i forgot to mention that siege rhyno is 3 colours, also it seems like a control deck, which is why I thought vigilance would be better, siege rhyno may have an initial effect, but you are trying to win over time so what it does on the boardis more important(and while it is one of the best 4 drops for stats it doesn't win you the game the way you would want a control deck card to).... I should have said one avacyn, gardian of hope because that can end the game by itself when played(even if you do not have the permanents for its secondary effect) then there is deathbringer liege(adds control utility to your non-creature spells), then there is desecration demon(a 6/6 that gets your opponent to sac creatures if they want to stay safe - and this is in a control deck, where them doing so will help you a lot in the long run) eidolon of rhetorich COULD help you(though not as much as in a counter deck)  then there is hundred handed one(4 mana 3/5 with vigilance and an awesome monstrous ability that you will probably get to concidering this deck is control)

Yes, Siege Rhino is three colours which believe it or not is easier to hit. In a format full of efficient removal its unlikely Siege Rhino is going to last a while on the board so the initial effect is relevant. Abzan Midrange isn't a typical style of control deck which means that your probably not going to expect typical creatures and win in the expected way. Desicration Demon isn't really as big issue as oponents will either remove it from play or take a hit from it and not be too bothered by it as it likely won't be around for long. With tokens existing the opponant won't bat an eyelid and sacrifice a token if they need to. Eidolon of Rhetoric isn't usually that helpful against the majority of decks. It would only disrupt combo deck and that's where Thoughtsieze and Inquisition of Kozilek come in. Hundred Handed One isn't all that great as the modern format as your oponant usually has a few creatures on their side (unless its a token build). You should be able to deal with them making Hundred Handed One no better than another Rhino. Plus it's 3WWW monstrosity cost like Avacyn isn't the easiest to hit.
