Venom Rattler

this effect is far too strong. the way it is worded once per turn you are making your opponent neg 2 for free. my suggestion change the following portion
"When this card attacks a monster your opponent controls that has a Venom Counter attached to it, randomly send one card in your opponent's hand to the graveyard."
 
to say "When this card attacks a monster your opponent controls that has any Venom Counter attached to it, randomly send one card in your opponent's hand to the graveyard."
 
1900 atk breaks the no drawback cap we would normally see for level 4...suggestion 1800. not a big issue just something i noticed.
 
This:
Venom Lord - Constrictus The Anaconda
Level 4 Dark Reptile/Xyz
2 Level 4 "Venom" monsters
This card gains 500 ATK for each Reptile-Type monster in your graveyard. If this card would be destroyed, special summon 2 Reptile-Type monsters from your graveyard in face-up attack position. During your main phase, you may detach 2 XYZ to remove Venom Counters (Max:10) from the field. Send a number of cards on the opponent's side of field equal to the number of Venom Counters removed to the deck and deal damage to the opponent's LP equal to the number of removed Venom Counters x 200.
0/1800

looks OP at a glance but honestly is a rather gorgeous card. I would 100% run that in a venomd eck. nice work! in fact aside the discard effect of rattlert I believe you have a very well balanced group here. the cost equals a risk but the gains are worth that potential risk. Very nice.

"When this card attacks a monster your opponent controls that has a Venom Counter attached to it, randomly send one card in your opponent's hand to the graveyard."

 

"When this card attacks a monster your opponent controls that has any Venom Counter attached to it, randomly send one card in your opponent's hand to the graveyard."
 

 

 
I don't get it. How would this new wording make the card less powerful?

in yugioh the card text specifies the mechanic and effect especially now that we have problem solving card text for instance "destroy all monsters on the field" does not target as it does not specify it, but "target and destroy all monsters" would cause dark hole to target not simply wipe the field. the difference between "a" and "any" is : "a" means one "any" means at all. The way your card is worded if "a counter" means it can be abused for "a" or rather each counter, "any" however would limit it to be activated once while those counters are active.

Huh. Okay, that makes sense.

 

Okay, the new Venom Rattler would look like this:

 

Venom Rattler
Level 4 Earth Reptile/Effect
Once per turn, you can place 2 Venom Counters on 1 monster your opponent controls. When this card attacks a monster your opponent controls that has any Venom Counter attached to it, randomly send one card in your opponent's hand to the graveyard.

If you make the actual cards I would love to see them. They really sound like they have some thought behind them and I'm sure the aesthetics will match as well.

Here are some more cards. Tell me what you think. 

 

Also, I'd like some opinions: Looking at both these cards and the previous ones, am I making these cards too powerful for their cost? or are they fairly well balanced all around? Are there any I should errata? Please let me know.
