Post by: Nameless on August 17, 2014, 06:03:45 PM

Can I have two of a duel colored cards in a 100 card T1 deck?

No.
You could do that in T2 though.

slugfencer is correct, and here's why: Any card with more than 1 brigade is considered "multicolored" (see Invoking Terror). T1 has a restriction of 1 per deck of multicolored cards. The only reason dual-brigade cards are allowed up to 2 in T2 is because there is a specific provision for cards with exactly 2 brigades that allows 2 copies per deck in T2 (I believe, my T2 is a bit rusty). They are still "multicolored" and would fall under the same fate as other multicolored cards if that provision did not exist.

So, for T1, 1 per deck of any card with more than 1 brigade.

I always thought that in Type 1 you could have 1 per 50 of dual-colored cards but a maximum of two... Did that used to be the rule and it was changed or has that always been like that since the introduction of dual-colored cards in Angel Wars?

I wasn't hosting back in Angel Wars (in fact, I had only just barely started playing) so I'm not sure if there was a different rule in the past. But as far as I know the current rule is 1 per deck of multicolored in T1 with no exceptions for dual-brigade.

Back when dual colored cards were first released with AW they were considered multicolor and only one was allowed per deck in either type. That was true until 2011, when the T2 deck building rules were changed (went from a max of 5 copies of non-multi characters and enhancements to 4 copies, and dual colored cards went from 1/deck to 2/deck). No such rule change was ever formalized for T1, so at this point they are still 1/deck.
