OCG Rulings[]
- "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" is not affected by the effects of "Tyrant's Tirade" or "Number 16: Shock Master". Therefore, even if the effects of "Tyrant's Tirade" or "Number 16: Shock Master" are being applied, "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" can activate its effect and place a Hyper-Venom Counter on itself.[1]
TCG Rulings[]
- Tyrant's Tirade: Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes is unaffected by this card and will still gain Hyper Venom Counters [sic].[2]
Previously Official Rulings[]
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[6] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- Removing from play 1 Reptile-Type monster in your Graveyard to Special Summon this card is a cost.

- When 3 Hyper-Venom Counters are placed on this card, its controller wins the Duel as part of the resolution of the effect.
- This card is not affected by the effects of any other Monsters, Spells or Traps, even effects that do not target.
- If "Skill Drain" is already active on the field when Vennominaga is Special Summoned, the effect of Vennominaga is negated.

- You can Tribute your opponent's Vennominaga to Summon "Lava Golem".[3]
- If this card is destroyed by battle with "Dark Ruler Ha Des", "Dark Ruler Ha Des'" effect negates this card's effect in the Graveyard, and it cannot be Special Summoned.

Mentions in Other Rulings
- Cloudian - Poison Cloud: “Cloudian - Poison Cloud's” effect will only inflict 800 damage if its effect successfully destroys the monster that destroyed it in battle. For example, “Vennominaga, the Deity of Poisonous Snakes” [sic] is unaffected by other Monster Effects and thus could not be destroyed, so “Cloudian - Poison Cloud” would not inflict damage in this case.
- Revived King Ha Des: If "Revived King Ha Des" or another Zombie-Type monster you control destroys... "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" by battle, when their effects are activated they will be negated.
- Rise of the Snake Deity: You cannot activate this card if you do not have "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" in your hand or Deck.
- Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare: When "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" battles with a monster that cannot be destroyed by its effect, like "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes", "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare's" effect still inflicts damage but will not destroy the monster.
Judge List Rulings
- "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes'" Self-Special Summoning effect activates when it is in the Graveyard, because it has been destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, so the Hyper-Venom Counters it previously had on the field are lost.[4]
Out of Date
Judge List Rulings
- A face-up "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" would be unaffected by the effect of the opponent's "Share the Pain" and could not be Tributed by its effect.[5][Notes 1]
Notes[]

Also, if the effect of "Number 16: Shock Master" is applying having declared "Monster", can "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" activate its effect?
