29. How many Angry Mob (Ap, TEC1, TEC2, TEC3) or Legion (Di) cards can I include in a deck?
The identifier for Angry Mob from The Early Church allows a player to have 4 copies of that variant in a deck per 50 cards, meaning that it applies separately to each Angry Mob variant. Since each variant of the Early Church Angry Mob has a different brigade and art, each is considered a different card for deck building purposes, and so the identifier is specific to each variant.  A player may have 4 of each variant of The Early Church versions of Angry Mob per 50 cards in a deck.  The Angry Mob from Apostles does not have this identifier, and is limited by normal deck-building rules.

The identifier for Legion (each version) allows a player to have 4 copies total in a deck per 50 cards, in any mix.  Each variant has the same card art and title, and therefore they are considered duplicates for deck-building purposes.  So while they can be put in a deck in any combination, you may still only have 4 total per 50 cards in a deck, because the identifier refers to 4 copies total of these duplicate cards.

I'm not sure in T2 actually, as I believe there is a hard limit in T2 of 4 of the same card, regardless of other deck-building rules. So you cannot have 8 brown EC AM cards. You can have 4 brown Apostles versions and 4 brown EC versions, in addition to 4 black and 4 gray. but that is the max as far as I know.

Interesting...in that case I'm off to build my 252 card T2 deck with 64 Angry Mob cards...
