I don't think "Venominon the Venom Prince" needs the destruction effect. A level 4 monster with only 1500 attack and 0 defense won't be around very long anyway.

Besides that, nice support for the archetype.

Venom sanctuary would work well if you're trying to outclass your opponent attack-wise, or if you're using "Venom Burn". And if all goes wrong, you still have "Venom Swamp" as a plan B.

Rise of the Snake Deity. If it was destroyed by battle, it wouldn't work. It does with self-destruction.

The idea was to obv use this + Venom Swamp for lolBeatdown.

Well Reptiles have Offering which pretty much can destroy Prince thought...

[.Nu-13]

But you won't have Offering always, no?

[Bringerofcake]

Venom needs more monsters.

[.Nu-13]

Added 3 monsters

It does, actually.
Rise of the Snake Deity activates when it is destroyed, it doesn't specify how:

Also, if you make an exceed monster, you should mention the exceed materials used to summon it.
Other than that, it's a good card, as are the other two.

Vennominaga is Rank 6 yet she requires two Level 4s?

[.Nu-13]

Damnit. Was supposed to be Rank 4

[Giga Hand]

Venom Prince is overpowered. I summon (1), search Rise, set it and use Snake Rain (3). Then I destroy it (4). I spend 4 cards to easily get Vennominaga out with 2500 ATK at the very least. If I draw it and Snake Rain on the first turn, I'm very likely to win. (For the uninitiated, Vennominaga is bar none the most powerul card ever. 500 ATK for all reptiles in the grave, immunity to everything except battle, and auto-revive if it's destroyed. [u][i][b]If.[/b][/i][/u] If that isn't enough it has a victory effect).

Rattlesnake has too little ATK. That goes for all the Venom monsters and is their greatest weakness. I like the search effect, though. I hate having to clog up my deck with field spells and Terraforming, and I love that this can search Venom Swamp. Any reason it's negate-proof?

Viper has a nice searching effect, but that's it.

Queen... this is one of the few Xyz monsters that I've seen that's balanced. Wonderful searching effect, cost (which is an effect, maybe I can run this in Dark Worlds *shot*) beefs up Vennominon/aga, and generates a great supply of counters. Sweet drawback, too. But do venoms really want a Xyz?

Deity Sanctuary is probably the best card I've seen on this site, ever. It covers the venom's weaknesses perfectly, and provides fuel for its own effect. Also maked Vennominaga's win effect not completely pointless.
