Capture abilities used against prophets gain "regardless of protection". You may search deck for Herod's Dungeon and place it in territory or make Mark 6 cards Cannot be Interrupted. Cannot be Prevented.
Herodias
Gold 6/6 TC X= #of captured Heroes in your Land of Bondage
May band to Herod Antipas. If a Hero in your Land of Bondage is discarded by a evil enhacement or neutral card, decrease all prophets by X/X until end of turn.
Entrapping Herodian

Herodian
Gold 5/4 Generic X = # of times opponent used search or draw ability(whichever is greater)

Herod's Dungeon

If a Herod blocks, you may capture a opponent's male prophet and place in this site. When a N.T. Gold female Evil Character enters battle, you may discard a Hero in this site.

Make this the identifier on the card lol ;D
-
Antipas would be more usable if he made capture CBP, but I like him.
Herodias is very nice.
I would like Herodian better as "may withdraw a Hero from battle. Opponent may Discard a card of matching brigade from hand instead."
The new Herod's Dungeon is honestly worse even with the theming.
The Platter is really underwhelming. It's strictly worse than Beheaded most of the time because it eats an art slot. Make it able to activate on Herod's Praetorium and it'd be a nice theme card.
-
Are you referring to the generic herodian or entrapping Herodian.
What improvement should be made to Dungeon to make it better
-
Dungeon is great the way it is because it can effectively be a block.. to make a new dungeon it would have to be better than it already is
-
or it needs to be able to do something different that is also useful, so that there is a choice.
-
updated platter and add a identifier to dungeon.
-
updated platter and add a identifier to dungeon.
I don't think you need to specify " in a land" because "captured character" already covers that.

Corrected. Also added 2 enhancements
-
The under deck on dance of death is to op, because there are so many cards, mostly demons, that can reveal and/or draw from the bottom of deck. Cool idea though!
-
I like them both. The Dance is balanced by the requirement of your opponent's deckbuilding choices to be great.
-
@pol is the addition of the holds any # of heroes identifier enough to make the new Dungeon better.
-
Nope, still worthless compared to the current one. The current one has the ability to actually block, yours is a so-so or even underpowered theme site.
-
Like the ideas. I think the dungeon would need to affect battle more to see play. And @pol I wouldn't call a card idea worthless. Just seems a bit harsh is all. Regardless of whether an idea is good or not the fact that players are putting their ideas out there is awesome and is never worthless compared to any card.
-
I would under the circumstance here where there is a suggested reprint of a card that's currently better than the suggestion in every way. I gave up caring about tone online a long time ago; it's impossible to convey on a forum so I don't try. Besides, you're ignoring the larger post where I praise all the rest of the cards.

Herod's Dungeon has been updated
-
Now that's an option! Prophets are going to be very popular and it's a wide targeting mechanism.
