Forum:Are Venom monsters still usable in today's games?

Well, I recently went to a weekly tournament at a local comic shop, running a morphtronic/powertool deck. I got crushed, and all of these people were useing gladiator beasts/XXsabers/Blackwings, a lot of the top decks. I was wondering if a Venom/Reptillianne Deck would be able to do well, at least be something different that they arn't prepared for. I have all of the reptilliannes, inculding 3 scyllas and 3 medusas and 2 gorgons and 2 gardnas. I have all venoms but venom cobra and vennominaga the deity of poisonous snakes, (which I understand will be hard to come by, which is why I want to know if this deck will work before I trade a ton of cards for it.) What other cards would you recommend, especially magic and trap.
