I'll go over some cards that caught my attention.

 

Venom Snake

I'm really liking the modernisation, however I'd personally have kept its original "feel". I'd give it the effect it currently has in addition to its original effect as they can't really function at the same time. Also it works well "Venom Shot" which is nice.

 

Venom Serpent

You are aware it searches the Spell/Trap line-up too right? That's a really quick plus 1 and make this card basically an objectively better version of Venom Snake

 

Venom Cobra

The effect itself is pretty good, and I see what it's supposed to do. But what happened to its 2k body? I mean, it has an effect now, but it has nothing to do anymore with the original card. If you change them this much then you might as well just give them modern support. 

 

Venom Viper

I get the idea. But this is a deck based on decreasing your opponent's monster's ATK. If you have to rely on this thing to get over their monsters you're doing something wrong. Though the advantage regaining effect is nice, I guess.

 

Venom Mamba

YES PLEASE!

 

Venom Krait

Nice card, it works.

 

Venom Taipan

I mean, if you have a Mamba with its second effect it isn't really needed. But still a nice card, completely wall 60 card decks, if a bit redundant.

 

Venom Rattler

Not bad, but its an unneeded normal summon.

 

Venom Python

So its a better archetypal Kaiju? I like Kaijus. And its a playmaker.

 

Snake Diety's Command/Suppression

Normally this would be bad. But this Archetype has such a hard time with backrow that they need this. Also the deck can get so cloggy with normal summons that the discard 1 isn't the biggest deal.

 

Possible Decklist for a consistant Venom Deck

3 Venom Snake

3 Terraforming

3 Venom Swamp

3 Venom Serpent

3 Venom Krait

3 Venom Python

1 Solemn Judgement

3 Offering To The Snake Deity

3 Snake Deity's Command

1 Venomous Hate

3 Venom Shot

3 Venom Rebirth

3 Venom Mamba

2 Pot of Duality

3 Lose 1 Turn

[HeavenlyHumanist]

Thank you so much for the feedback and for your praise! As for the things you mentioned, i think that you make a very good point about Venom Snake, in fact i honestly meant to give it its old effect but apparently i forgot to so i'll edit that. I am aware that Venom Serpent searches spells and traps and yes while it technically is a better version of Snake i wanted to have a searcher specifically for Venom Swamp because the card is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY and i made it a discard effect per usual with field searchers as to not eat up the normal summon for the turn and serpent was meant to entice the player into searching for different card other than Venom Swamp, like if you opened up with both A Snake and a Serpent but i could also see limiting it to monsters. As for Venom Cobra i saw absolutely no benefit what soever leaving it as it was the 2000 DEF and minuscule attack meant you would be forced to set it or special summon it in defense position, i imagined this archetype to be vert aggressive with it's play style and the original Cobra just didn't fit right to me. Viper is one of the weaker designs here i'll put some thought into tweaking its effects. Glad you like Mamba so much i really liked the idea of poisoning monsters with more than just stat reduction. I thought Krait needed a simple effect to assist swarming while also keeping the venom counter motif. Fair point about Taipan but i feel it still has use despite Mamba, at least as an alternate option. Good point about Rattler i might give it a special summoning condition. Glad you like Python. With the two traps negation is always nice especially with decks that struggle against spell/trap effects. Again thank you so very much for reading these and giving such welcome feedback. I'll probably do something with the Crystal Beast monsters next so watch for that if your interested and i look forward to hearing what you have to say about them. Also i have one final set that I've posted here where i retrained the Dark Scorpion monsters check them out if you like.
