Herod Antipas
Gold Evil Character 7/6
WC TC
SA: If a N.T. prophet would be discarded, set it aside instead. While Herod's Dungeon is in play evil capture abilities gain "regardless of protection". May band to Herodias. Cannot be prevented.
Interesting, would be the first set-aside without a duration or return condition. Card is trying to do too much, though, and TC characters do not have instant abilities.

Herodias
Gold Evil Character 5/5
May search deck for a N.T. female Evil Character or N.T. Gold evil enhancement and add to hand. After a successful block, Roddick a evil discard enhancement.  Cannot be prevented.
Do what to it now? Kill it with a cup? Assuming that's "underdeck," this card's a powerhouse, but given how easy Discard is to get around, I don't actually think OP.

Herodians
Gold Evil Character 3/4
Generic
May band to a Herod, Herodian, or The Entrapping Pharisees. Reveal N.T. evil enhancements (Max. 2) from hand to draw the same amount. Opponent may discard that many good enhancements from hand instead. Cannot be prevented.
Matthew 22:16
Solid, love the interplay with the Phars.

Herodians
Gold Evil Character 3/4
Generic
May band to a Herod, Herodian, or Pharisees. If a Pharisee is in play, capture a N.T. human Hero. Cannot be prevented.
Mark 3:6
A wide-spectrum autoblock with an easy setup plus a banding ability and CBP besides is too much power, especially when the Herods themselves are not this powerful.

Herod's Soldiers
Gold Evil Character 8/8
WC
May band to a warrior class generic Evil Character. Discard abilities on N.T. enhancements gain regardless of protection. Cannot be Negated if a Herod is in play.
Needs a verse. The wide-spectrum banding doesn't really make sense and is pretty dang powerful with a Herod around (again, easy to set up).

Dance of Death
Gold Evil Enhancement 2/2
TC
Place on a N.T. female Evil Character. If blocking alone, character gains the ability to take a male Evil Character and add him to battle. Cannot be prevented if a Herod is in play.
Love it.
