Sarkhan Builds?

I got Sarkhan Vol recently and wanted to make a deck built around him. It looks like he'd be suited in a Creature/Control deck, but that just comes from an amateurs eye, like myself. Does anyone have other suggestions?

His ability to give haste is pretty powerful and kan speed up midrange aggro decks, making them harder to deal with for control players. His second ability is nice to finish games, stealing away an opposing blocker. He's pretty good in EDH, stealing Eldrazi and giving them haste, then sacking them to something like a suspended Greater Gargadon.

I never really use his ultimate. Also the fact that he can't defend himself makes him one of the weaker planeswalkers.

PS: You posted under standard legal deck development, Sharkhan is not standard legal.

Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna see what I can make with that.

PPS: I figured I might've posted this in the wrong spot. I'm still not sure what is Standard Legal and what's not. Is there a place to see what is?

Standard legal is the last two blocks and the current core set. Now I've heard rumor recently that M11 isn't cycling out until September... oddly. If that's the case, than as of friday the Standard legal sets would include:
Zendikar
Worldwake
Rise of the Eldrazi
M11
Scars of Mirrodin
Mirrodin Besieged
New Phyrexia
M12

if M11 does cycle when M12 enters, which it should IMO, than just don't include M11.
