Ok with gatecrash coming up i feel like making a Gruul deck!  So here's the deck featuring the Legendary Hellion Hydra  working alongside his One-eyed Freind  and a lot of RG creatures and +1/+1 counters!
Ulasht's Bite
Main Deck 60 cards
24 lands
24 creatures Help on how to improve this deck is much appreciated!
Cheers! 
EDIT: MAJOR CHANGES

Hey! First off, fun deck idea and I've always been interested in Ulasht. Personally, I'd consider swapping Tattermunge Maniac  for Legion Loyalist  once Gatecrash is out. Alternatively, you could go for Experiment One  which has potential to be a 2/2 by turn two with regenerate instead of a 2/1 with a drawback. I'd also consider dropping Dragon Broodmother  (Great card, fun flavor) but at 6 CMC with 3 red requirement, it may be difficult to cast. Since a Gruul aggro deck is all about stomping the opponent quickly, you may want to swap out the Broodmother for 2 more Bloodbraid Elf  since it will provide an additional creature, drop another Fires of Yavimaya, or a Lightning Bolt to the face/creature. To simplify it, Bloodbraid Elf is absolutely amazing and should be an auto 4 of in addition to nicely curving out your creatures at 4 CMC.

^good ideas up there, I just wanted to point out that Experiment One can't regenerate as a 2/2 because you have to remove 2 counters to regenerate him. Old school gruul decks ran Rumbling Slum  to enable bloodthirst more easily, but I'd recomend it simply because it's an awesome creature (anD it'll enable your Scab-Clan Mauler  s more easily). Burning-Tree Shaman  is also pretty good for that. since all of your creatures are multicolored, you could run Psychotic Fury  , and maybe Might of the Nephilim  also you could use Stonebrow, Krosan Hero  if you had more trample guys

Thanx for the ideas!
I still would want to keep Tattermunge maniac  as I want the deck to be multicolored to help Ulasht, The Hate Seed and the drawback isn't really a drawback as most of the time I would want to attack with him. I would also want to keep Dragon Broodmother as this is kinda not an aggro deck and the little dragons would help Ulasht, The Hate Seed to get counters.
But I would try my best to get in 2 Bloodbraid Elf !
cheers

Here is where I am. Could use some help with sideboard! Ulasht's Bite Main Deck 60 cards 24 lands 23 creatures 13 other spells ??? 15 sideboard cards The Bloodbraid elf  didn't work too well as I drew too many in the early game so I brought them down from 4-2. Besides that it worked out pretty well! Cheers!

that's because Bloodbraid Elf is horribly unbalanced. It's a 3/2 with haste for 4 AND after you play it you end up with a free creature/spell/whatever. Most creatures that efficient have some pretty gnarly drawbacks, or are at least Legendary like Akuta, Born of Ash  . Add to that that Cascade is probably most efficient at 4 because in a strong aggro deck, Bloodbraid Elf should be at or near the top of your mana curve. there is a rather interesting banned/restricted list in Modern so far though. I can't remember any specifics, but some were kinda weird. I totally get the elf though
