OKAY THEN, I've finally gotten this thing to the point where I want/NEED help.

This is an Elemental Theme commander deck with a bunch of pet card includes that I want to keep in the deck, and hope to optimize the deck to have actual synergy with them. Also it is not a full hundred cards yet, the rest of the open slots are dedicated to lands and I would like advice on what to use (I know I need command tower, working on getting one).

Pet card synergy???

1) Symbol Status This should stand out from the rest of the deck. My Commander playgroup has shifted toward "anything goes as long as it is fun", and I love this card. It is also why I bothered to include the set-printing for every card in my deck. Originally I was using a lot of basic land so I could have each from a different set, but I need multicolor lands to make this thing work. Any obscure land recommendations from old sets would be appreciated. I'm looking at the Duel Decks, Premium Decks, and other special-run products for unique set symbols so if you can think of any (especially good elementals or stuff with synergy later on the list) that'd be awesome!

2) Aetherflux Reservoir In my playgroup most games end with somebody does ten thousand damage to everybody else, with a fairly large pile of Lab Maniac and "Target Player Loses the Game" effects thrown in, so I don't feel bad for this one. Also, I like life gain because there are a lot of direct damage spell for high amounts floating around. This is also a big reason why I have sproutswarm (So much life, so many tokens), Essence warden, and Soul warden. I expect to have to pop some platinum angels with this :P

3) Presence of Gond This one is mostly nostalgic for me, I've removed a lot of synergy that was in the deck but it can still go infinite with Ivy Lane Denizen + Devoted Druid, or just Sunstrike Legionnaire. Even if I just stick it on some random dork I get decent value out of it from having elves to tap, sac, or chump.

So, that's the deck so far. A gimmicky value deck for a playgroup that is SUPER willing to go infinite. Suggestions are greatly appreciated (especially Elementals and lands), thanks in advance!
