Any ideas for an aggro control build?

trying to find a constructed home for a playset of Mondronen Shaman  Flip at the moment theyre in a RUG control deck, without much in the way of control and only 9 creatures. so it doesnt necessarily count as aggro control. looking more for ideas as opposed to deck criticism...

Well, Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip and Immerwolf are the obvious RG suggestions, and Mondronen Shaman  Flip forces your opponent to choose between flipping your werewolves and taking damage/giving you wolves or not flipping them and taking a beating--assuming they even have that choice. Beyond that, Mayor of Avabruck  Flip is small and beat-y, and he'll buff things whether he's a human or a wolf. For control options, you probably want spells that aren't very color intensive. Are you hoping to run this in Standard?

Aggro control doesn't really exist. Decks like Delver and Legacy Merfolk/Faeries come close and fall under the category of "tempo decks." The concept of fielding midcost beatsticks is at odds with the goal of leaving mana open every turn to counter spells or kill creatures. Delver gets away with it because it is a 1-drop that benefits from the way control decks are typically designed.
