I like the emphasis on battle with these cards, which I feel does connect with the original Venom's theming. I like your first line-up of cards, even if Viper is a bit weak, but Rattler just seems a little weird. It negates one attack and places a Counter...then prevents that monster from attacking? I'd be fine with one or the other, and I do like the other, but perhaps a more effective means of counter placing that clashes less?

Gorgon works nicely with Swamp and provides much needed support, although I'd suggest sticking with 2 rather than 3 of the effects. Does a bit much, you know? Sad to see no Reptile support though. Same with Deity, but I do like its effect. Very nifty. Your Fusions are far more boring, do almost the exact same thing, and aren't necessary. At the very least ditch one, or completely rework it. Cool names though.

I ADORE what you've done with Erosion and Hatchlings. Both are really useful with your new cards, and do things in a really fun way. Pit could probably work better as a Trap, but even then, it does a bit much in the ATK loss department along with destroying monsters as well. Choose one or the other, imo. Fusion is even further on the spectrum, being a Quick-Play, placing Counters, and that UBERED UP protection effect with super duper counter placement again. Even ditching the protection from the GY would still leave the card 2 stronk, although it would be a good idea to have protection somewhere among your support other than here.
