Utter end is perfectly sufficient for enchantment removal (goblinslide being the other one that's getting played), and is also the reason why suspension field is actually pretty bad in the mirror. Utter ending a suspension field that's taken out a siege rhino is a massive blowout, especially if it's midcombat and you eat an anafenz or w/e which I've done.
I don't agree with that. I'd think if my opponent is using his premium removal spell to get back a rhino by exiling my 2 cost removal then I am probably way a head.
utter end is also pretty easy to play around in blow out situations.
The drain 3/gain 3 is very close to a cards worth of value in a lot of situations, that's why the card is so strong - using any removal on a resolved Rhino automatically puts you somewhat behind. So Utter End on Suspension field feels very much like a 2 for 1.
tl;dr, I would not bring suspension field in in the Abzan mirror match.
Why doesn't wizards site post results from all dailies? I wanted to see the other 4-0s in mine but it doesn't look like they are going to post the 10:30 EST results from yesterday.
Unless something has changed, their dates are somewhat wrong. The dailies from yesterday will be posted tomorrow, on 10/30. I was the other 4-0 in the 10:30 EST daily yesterday, playing Mardu. They may post that event tomorrow, but until it goes up who knows which one they will pick.
I like Mardu against Abzan, played two Siege Rhino decks yesterday and neither were close.
As part of a move early last year to stop formats being 'solved' so quickly, they only post lists from the most-highly attended event for each format each day.
I believe mtggoldfish has a results scraping bot. You may be able to find your decks there.

Some facts of magic:
-Terror is an emotion which, when experienced, results in death.
-The pox was a disease notorious for having killed one-third, rounded up, of Europe’s population. Smallpox, on the other hand, killed only a single person.
-A person riding a horse cannot be stopped by foot soldiers, large animals, walls, archers, or even catapults.

Which Mardu deck? The aggro Warrior one or the more controlling one?

You can do what you want but I still think they are fine in the mirror and will board them in.
The life total swing will be much less important in most cases than board control. If they are using their utter end to get their Rhino back instead of holding it to take out my own Rhino or Sorin I am fine with that.

More towards the aggro warrior version, but with plenty of removal. Lots of two drops, which are pretty strong when the format is playing tapped lands on 1 and 2.
I think boarding in an erase for susp. field is suitable, but I'd hate using utter end on a susp. field, regardless of what deck I'm playing. I'd want it for a Sorin, rhino, sarkhan, etc.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
Has anyone else noticed the influx of Feat of Resistance and Dead Drop in Abzan lists? Both cards do great in the mirror. Especially Dead Drop with all the removal being ran. Throw in a couple Rakshasa Secret and you'll have the mirror crying.
Dead Drop handles Deathdealers, Sagu Maulers, both sides of Wingmate Roc. The deck really doesn't have a problem getting 6-8 lands + a yard full.

It's such a good card against Abzan, i'm also running it in my Mardu.
In the board? How many?

Abzan is really good and no one is playing it right now for some reason.
