The good and evil versions are duplicates of the CoW version. They're not duplicates of each other because they hit a loophole we haven't felt like closing. Or don't know how to close without making Salome (white) and Salome (evil gold) duplicates too.

The deck building rules are supposed to apply to the face value of cards. Since Saul/Paul starts as evil, he doesn't have the same icon as Paul, and they don't have the same art, so they should be legal in the same deck.

The duplicate cards entry isn't just for deck building - it's primarily for checking duplicates in play. It's linked in the deck building rules because some of the entries on the list have had questions about whether alternate names of the same unique character constitutes the same name for deck building.

With the exception of Saul/Paul and King Saul, I think the current rule boils down to "unique characters that represent the same biblical character are 1 per 50", but that doesn't exactly make for a simple rule. So it was done piecemeal and Saul/Paul and King Saul slipped through.
