For my second card review this week, I am going to do one of my new favourites, Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes.
Attribute : Dark
Type : Reptile
ATK 0/ DEF 0
This card cannot be Special Summoned by another Effect Monster's effect. This card is unaffected by "Venom Swamp". This card gains 500 ATK for each Reptile-Type monster in your Graveyard. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can remove from play 1 other Reptile-Type monster from your Graveyard to Special Summon this card.
Just looking at this card at first glance, it obviously seems weak with 0 attack and 0 defence points. However, it is useful as a card and moreso by end game because that's when it gets very good. Not only is it unaffected by venom and it's a reptile, so you can power it up with multiple copies of Vennominon it gets into the graveyard. And with 0 attack, it's easily special summoned via Damage = Reptile, which I will cover some other time. Too bad it's effect limits it from being special summoned by something such as Mystic Tomato. The best part about Vennominon is that it's never gone for long. Either you get another out by Damage = Reptile, or you can chose to remove a reptile monster from your graveyard to resummon if it was killed in battle, which is a great effect for a monster that can be easily killed in battle. However, if your opponent is careless enough to destroy Vennominon by a card effect, sure it's resurrection effect won't be able to activate, but if you have a facedown Rise of the Snake Diety, to summon Vennominaga, the Deity of Poisonous Snakes then you'll have something better out.
Counters for this card
~Non battle monster removal
~Graveyard removal
Not much counters, destroy it in battle, resurrect it back right away. Destroyed by effects, activate Rise of Snake Deity. Or Damage = Reptile another one out.
