I love all three, especially the last one.

This seems a little OP...but perhaps that is a good thing considering how severely underplayed Syrians currently are.

Dance of Death
0/0 Multicolor Evil Card, TC
"If used by Salome, place on a Hero. If that Hero is Ignoring any Evil Brigades during battle, you may Discard this card to Capture John the Baptist. If he is not in play, you may Discard all Heroes in battle instead."

Why does this have to be MC if only usable by Salome anyway? If it's to prevent duplicates, then just make it Gold/Crimson.

"Place your Demon on a Human. Character is Converted to a Crimson/Orange Evil Character until Demon is removed."

Love this. I would also say something like "When that character blocks, its holder may choose to use either that character's ability or the ability of the demon on it."

Or we could just have a completely new ability called "possession"!

Well, that would actually be a huge bit of awesomesauce. Since it isn't currently an ability I'll leave the wording that way, but if it were up for consideration for a real card, perhaps that would enter into the debate.

The intent was to have it usable by both Salome, I just couldn't remember what color the other one was XD It would be Crimson/Gold.

It is a wee bit on the powerful side, but Syrans are UU and I believe it hurts Speed so I like it (it's harder to rescue when your TGT heroes were Discarded/Captured in one turn by one card).

Fixed.

Possesion as an ability would be pretty awesome indeed, and give demons a unique power.

You'd place a demon on the human, and it would convert to X/Orange brigade (depending on the SA of the card). Then, I'd say when you use that character, BOTH SA's would activate (human first, demon second), but only the abilities on the human would count in FBTN. It would not count as banding. If the demon is discarded the character reverts back to their previous state, so if it was already an EC, it would stay in battle, but if it was a hero it would be forced to leave. If the human is discarded, maybe the demon would survive and stay in battle? (since killing a person wouldnt kill a spirit inside them would it?)

So, it has a LOT of potential for power, but it's costly and there are numerous ways to stop it.

I think adding that ability would be EXTREMELY cool, and add a unique gameplay mechanic.

*EDIT*

Also, maybe as a good version, you could attach an angel to a human hero in a similar fashion? Guardian angels?
