"Search deck for Gates of Jerusalem and put into play. Discard a disciple (limit once per game). Capture any N.T. hero. Can't be negated by a good character."

A CBN capture every time a character blocks is definitely OP.  Why Gates of Jerusalem?

Herod Antipas
Jewish King, warrior class
"May band to Herodias. Negate all protect abilities. Discard John the Baptist. Search deck or discard pile for a gold, evil weapon and put on a warrior class evil character."
Luke 3:19-20

Solid, I like.  Negating all protect abilities is pretty powerful... 

Bernice
royalty, x=#of weapons in play.
"Discard xN.T. heros. May band to Herod Agrippa II. May play the first enhancement."
Acts 25:23

Absolutely OP.  She could discard multiple heroes every time she blocks.  Plus the ability to band to HAII and play an enhancement (think of all the withdrawal enhancements Gold has...) is pretty much OP as well.  And if HAII bands to a Sadducee, then you can play black enhancements as well.

On a side note, I like the idea of having some of these abilities influenced by evil weapons...

Herodias
Royalty
"Search deck for a card that has "discard" or "capture" in it's special ability. Negate all special abilities on heros that are 5/5 or more."
Mark 6: 24

I really like this card.  In summary, I like the ideas behind these, I just think they need to be toned down a bit.

Herod Agrippa I-He was a powerful person
Gates of Jerusalem because they are Jewish Kings.

Bernice- yes, she does need a new power at the beginning.
 
Herod Agrippa I- Discard a disciple. May be used once per game. Search for Gates of Jerusalem and put into play. Discard an enhancement from hand to capture any NT hero. CBN by hero."

You may need to reword this one. Discard a disciple. May be used once per game. Search for Gates of Jerusalem and put into play. Capture any NT hero. CBN by hero.
But i think that the capture would be wrong and op without any cost like discard an evil enhancement to...

Any CBN battle-winner on an EC with no "instead" provision is too much. Even with a cost.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

It can't be negated by a hero. It still can be negated by an enhancement.

Not true. Only Covenant of Noah as an Artifact would be able to Negate it the way it is now. I think what you mean is "Cannot be Prevented" or "Cannot be Negated by a Special Ability on a Hero."

Phaselus
Herod
8/7 Gold Evil Character
"May band with Herod I. If you have a captured hero in play, capture another one. This ability can't be negated by an enhancement."
Somewhere in the Bible or History document.

(brother of Herod I)
