When did david go to babylon?

He made a stop there on his way to Pergamum after visiting Obadiah's Caves, silly.

The rule at least used to be that you could have all three different Davids in your 99-or-less-card deck. It might have changed though...

I do believe they've changed but idk. Yeah, on the REG it says
No player may control duplicates of a unique character or cause them to fight each other. This includes unique characters in play, in battle, in a side battle, face down, or in a set-aside area.  Character cards with the same card title and the same art or with the same title and the same brigade are considered duplicates for deck building purposes.  A player may have only control one of these at any time.  The only exception to this rule is non-unique characters with different card art.

All three Davids have different brigades and different art, so they do not meet the criteria for being duplicates. But this is the old ruling anyway; I feel like it has been replaced.

If it has, that was a major change I didn't hear about. At least in my mind, you can have all 3 Davids in your deck.

I have no proof on this matter one way or the other. (Well, I suppose I have a little for the other. :P)

You can have all 3 in your deck, but only one in play or set aside at a time.
