I believe it would be just two, but I'm not actually sure if we decided on that 100%

If a card can fall under multiple criteria for limiting the number of copies per deck, apply the most stringent policy, in this case the fact that Cov O' Death is 2-color trumps the fact that it is a curse, so you can only have two copies.

Just to check, can I now use 2 copies of Philosophy or any other evil/good enhancement in a T2 deck now?

No. Philosophy has more than 2 brigades, and so is still governed by the 1-per-deck rule. Only cards with 2 brigades (regardless of good or evil) qualify for the new 2-per-deck rule

Not Philosophy, since that is more than two brigades. You can use two copies of any character or enhancement that is exactly two brigades, whether that be two good brigades, two evil brigades, or one good brigade and one evil brigade.

So, no Seeker or Soldier of God? ...not fair.

Hey,

Are no SA sites still limited to 5 per deck?

Nothing was discussed about changing the limit for no SA Sites in T2.

I re-read the discussion among the playtesters.  The entire discussion was talking about "1 brigade cards" becoming 4 per deck.  That would include sites.  It was only stated as characters and enhancements in the final statement of the change, which I believe was an oversight.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

That's correct. Previously it was 5, and now it's 4. It's really not a big deal.

No, the bottom lines are two-fold:

1) We have two elders (Gabe and Tim) who disagree on the number of sites allowed in a T2 deck. So this needs to go back to the elders for a final ruling.

2) It appears I was correct in my guess that no one gave a thought to non-SA sites and souls (specifically) until Redemption Aggie brought up the question.

We are indeed discussing the number of sites allowed. I'm not honestly sure which way it will go, but I believe that currently a majority are in favor of 4 per deck.

Tim is correct. I had time to read over our discussion tonight and see that single brigade Sites with no SA should be limited to 4 per deck in T2. While others had considered that the change would impact Sites in addition to Characters and Enhancements, I overlooked that fact and reported the change incorrectly. All apologies. The original post has been edited.

As RDT points out we are discussing it and might possibly draw a different conclusion, but for now expect a limit of 4 as that's what was originally decided.
