Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
 In order to effectively utilize Symbol Status,
you need to maximize your expansion symbols. The best way to do this is
by having various lands from different sets. Make sure you remember to
mine Arena, Unhinged and Portal sets for lands as well as alternate
printings in sets like Beatdown. Also, many promo cards have their own
expansion symbol.
You also want to expand your permanents as much as
possible. For example, with two Llanowar Elves in the deck, you should run
one each from 6th and 7th editions. Similarly, your Birds of Paradise
should be from 6th, 7th and 8th.
Your deck includes several token creating cards,
including Grizzly Fate and Call of the Herd. I wanted to have token
options from the early game through the late game. The deck also includes
several big creatures, like Symbiotic Wurm, Verdant Force, and Verdeloth,
the Ancient. This gives your deck the late game punch it needs.
You'll note that I included a quartet of Natural Orders
in the deck. I wanted a way to reliably grab a Verdant Force, Kamahl, or
other essential creature. It also gives your deck a little bit of
reliability despite its random-looking decklist.
I decided to add Red to the deck for two major tricks.
The first is Artifact Mutation, a spell that will give you critters in
addition to popping a target that is likely to be from Mirrodin Block. At
our table, at least, artifacts have recently become much more common and
abusable then enchantments due to the influx of artifacts from Mirrodin
block.
The other trick is Mogg Infestation. Mogg Infestation
not only Wraths a single player, but it can be used to double your
creature count. That will help you get to Epic Struggle numbers, if
necessary. It also looks really cool to pound with 26 goblin tokens.
