Water Tengu Synchro vs. Planets/Herald

This is a continuation of my video from my youtube site. I was talking about the water tengu matchup versus fairy/planets but neglected this matchup so here I go.

Water Tengu Synchro vs. Fairy/Planets

Herald is always hard to play against. The point of herald is to negate everything you throw at them and when you run out of cards, they counter.

So when you play against herald, it is so important for you to waste the herald deck's cards. They only have a finite amount of faeries they can discard from their hand so baiting out their cards is most vital to winning.

The best and easiest way to get rid of their cards is to go for formula synchron early and often. If they choose to negate the drawing of formula, they lose a faerie. If they choose not to, you get to draw more outs. Going for formula usually sets you up for more options because treeborn is free while you usually discard something useful into your graveyard for fishborg without using your normal summon. This is one of the few decks that can outpace heralds.

What to do in the side deck:
Thunder King Rai-Oh is necessary to side in to stop their Kristya, Manju, Senju, and/or sonic bird searches.
Torrential Tribute and Smashing ground are also important in this matchup because after you waste their negations on trivial things like formula synchrons, you can easily activate these cards against it.

So the side board really only has a few cards against herald but the reasoning for that is the deck is already capable of handling herald decks.
