Title: Deck Building and Dual Alignments
Post by: SignoftheStar on May 10, 2012, 07:09:06 PM
As far as Type II is concerned, dual alignment cards count as neutral, right? Right.

But do they count as multi-colored?

And while we're here, let me confirm: what about cards with more than one Brigade, but not all of them? Do those receive the same 1-per-deck restriction?

Alright, here's what the rules are AFAIK:

- Yes, dual-alignment cards are 'neutral' for Type 2 deck-building purposes.

- The term "multicolored" refers to all-colored ("rainbow") enhancements (like Faith in Our High Priest) and anything with more than two brigades (like Faithful Servant Promo)  [can someone confirm that?].  They are the only ones limited to 1 per deck.

- Anything with two brigades (including dual-alignment cards) is limited to 2 per deck.

Redoubter is correct on all points.

It's a good thing you put that quote there. I still thought the limit was 5. Good to have that cleared up, too.

Thanks, Redoubter!

Yep, that was a change for this season.

The only thing I wasn't sure of was the more-than-two-brigades = multicolor thing.  Very few people use the 3-color cards, especially in T2, so it rarely comes up.

It's worth noting that dual alignment cards count as a card for both good and evil for T2 deckbuilding purposes. While this does effectively make them neutral, they aren't actually neutral cards.
