Here is a deck I built with the archetype. The goal is to access a Herald as soon as possible by transmodifying Halberd or Suwako. Stormforth makes Seasonal Herald in the hand more live, and once you get the cycle going you can bounce a Herald to your hand and drop it through the Spell.

These are actually pretty similar to UAs in playstyle and philosophy, but with less Jersey and more control.

 

I think I've tried a monarch-like approach with them before, though didn't like it that much.

 

Doing Herald-ghostrick sounds hilarious on paper, but it might suffer from lack of deckspace.

 

Otherwise, transmod build like Voltex's are the way to go.
