Deck discussion for Dragon Sleeper

I love decks like this, I've been trying to work out something similar. Two suggestions I would make: 1) using Axebane Guardian and Gatecreeper Vine (or some other green defender) gets you some decent blockers and mana fixing. 2) Ulvenwald Tracker is something to consider as he can have your Slumbering Dragon start taking out problematic enemy creatures even if your dragon can't attack on its own yet.

In the same vein as the tracker comment, I think that prey upon would serves you better than searing spears in this deck. For the same mana cost, it won't be long you'll be doing more damage with it. Ok to creatures only, if you feel you need to be able to damage the player, then I would suggest taking out plumet instead. Prey upon would be more versatile.
I also wonder if there's something I don't understand. Why are you maindecking moonmist and sidedecking terrifying presence? I kinda feel it should be the other way around?

I also have a red/green deck, feel free to coment:

I agree with removing Plummet, taking out a problematic flyer probably wont be that hard once you have a Slumbering Dragon or two up, and using Prey Upon and/or Ulvenwald Tracker means you can just have your dragons fight any fliers that are causing you grief.

Also, Rancor. Stupidly good card that will help your Slumbering Dragons get through a bunch of, say, chump blocking Lingering Souls.

Also also, Fling and Increasing Savagery. Play Increasing Savagery on a Slumbering Dragon, drop a Rancor on it, swing for 10 (hopefully) to the face, Fling it at end of turn for an additional 10.

Keep the ideas coming guys, here are my responses,

-I just thought of this concept yesterday, and moon mist is like a second fog considering werewolves are all but forgotten. I haven't tested the deck so this will change after FNM tomorrow night.
-In order to main board Ulvenwald Tracker, i would have to take out some Damage prevention and i would prefer to drop slumbering dragon turn one an fog (etc) until he is big enough to either drop something bigger or swing with him.
-Prey upon is a great idea and i can't believe i didn't think of that.
-Fling is risky but maybe a future side board
-Rancor just seems like a waste because of the lack of creatures, this is a stall deck at best. I may think of running Elixir of Immortality due to american miracle decks.

*** How bad ass would it be to Miracle Revenge of the hunted on a ready 8/8 slumbering dragon just to play terrifying presence during combat...

Thanks again everyone!

Sorry, I didnt indicate I was suggesting Rancor and Fling as sideboard cards. Take a look at my decks if you have a chance, I'm always looking for suggestions on all three. Thanks :)
