1. you only have 3 monsters, none exceeding 1600 ATK, all three are just counter generators and do nothing else, and the 1600 ATK one needs 1 tribute to get into the field
I used to think Boad was decent. That was before realizing it's Level 5.
Oh, let's make it unable to attack the turn it activates its effect; we don't want it do be too game-breaking.
It's good to reduce ATK. But monsters won't get destroyed by Venom Swamp if their ATK is reduced to 0 by another card. You just have to keep this in mind when combining both archetypes.
But it works if other cards of the archetype put Venom counters on monsters, because Venom Swamp is the card that decreases the ATK for each Venom counter. Just wanted to clarify that
Venom Burn recently, came out as a Ranked Ticket R. You can stockpile counters on those 0 atk monsters to do some actually heavy burn damage. it takes about 12 counters to OTK with it but you have 3 chances and the field puts a counter on all faceups at the end of every turn.
Weirdly Boxer's have mixed well with them, the R4nk floats, the R3 can stockpile, Veil stockpiles but eh.
