I know that the primordial magic is the default totem for a few of our masters, but I have been having a lot of fun with the Poltergeist as of late. In the last 3 games I played with him he ends up dying, but he is a nuisance.
I also try to do a lot more 'heavy control' combing iggy + candy + pandy for a lot of order-of-activation control and then use that to force things like paralysis. I add in a few sorrows too.
It is probably not the most ideal, but it has been fun to play and in theme is always a bonus in my book (I DO play out of theme all the time, but there is something really fun about playing with the models who are 'buddies' ;-))
