Gruul style control with lots of ground and pound. Control by deterring early attacking, then start removing and dropping the big boys. What you see is the evolution of one of my first decks, crafted from the Heroes Vs Monsters set. I think Deadly Recluse is the only surviving card from that deck, which I hope expresses how utterly frustrating it can be to your opponents, and how great it can be to help get the board under control.
TURN 1
Ulvenwald Tracker comes equipped with an ability to match Prey Upon, which is great removal with the other creatures in this deck.
Slumbering Dragon can also be used with the Tracker's prey upon even without having the 5 counters. He also deters an opponent from attacking early on with small creatures. Is the 1 damage worth adding a counter? "You wouldn't want to wake the dragon, would you?" Slumbering Dragon + Ulvenwald Tracker / Increasing Savagery + Slumbering Dragon
TURN 2
Voyaging Satyr for the mana ramp. He works very well with the Gruul Turf 's and Overgrowth. This creates the potential to have the Turf come into play and untap right away, and combined with the Overgrowth can produce as much as 8 mana from 1 land. Gruul Turf + Overgrowth + Voyaging Satyr
Deadly Recluse is a great way to prevent early attackers, particularly flyers, and can also be utilized with the Ulvenwald Tracker for removal with the deathtouch, especially since combat abilities like first strike and double strike don't work when 2 creatures "fight" one another, though static abilities like deathtouch do. Deadly Recluse + Ulvenwald Tracker .
TURN 3
You could potentially have an 8/8 Slumbering Dragon by using an Increasing Savagery for a big swinger through the air. Increasing Savagery + Slumbering Dragon .
Overgrowth for additional ramping. Overgrowth + Voyaging Satyr
Domri Rade Just had to put him in to make the deck even more formidable. He can either help draw, or be used for immediate removal with the fight ability.
TURN 4+
Inferno Titan is your main guy. He comes equipped with an ability that is the equivalent to Flames of the Firebrand when he enters the battlefield, as well as whenever he attacks.
Ruric Thar, the Unbowed is great against non-creature intensive decks.
Acidic Slime - A versatile card to help deal with a range of threats, artifacts, enchantments, and lands. Other than that, he can also be used with the Tracker's ability for deathtouch removal. I've put the Slime in the mainboard in place of Deus of Calamity .
Dragonlord Atarka for even more etb effects. Pair her up with haste and this is a good game ender.
