Joseph (Blue/Green) is blocked by Winged Lion (Immune to Green). Can Joseph defeat Lion using Blue enhancements?

I know the rule used to be that immunity only applied to the specific color, and to be immune to a character due to brigades, you had to be immune to all brigades of that character. I can't find where this is in the current REG though.

I don't think it would. Blue cards are still played on Joseph which the Immunity entry specifies are also unable to target an immune character.

I can understand the reasoning put forth by browarod and Redoubter, and I'm sure that is how it ought to be ruled.  However, I think that Blue enhancements played by Joseph against Winged Lion should work.  Here's why.

Joseph is both a Green hero and a Blue hero.  We know that brigades matter when played in battle; if you attack with Cherubim banded to ET and play a Silver GE, ET is adding the GE to battle, but it is not "played" by him.  It is played by Cherubim.  If Cherubim entered battle after an EC was already blocking (by a banding GE or something), and the EC was immune to Purple, the Silver GE could still target the EC, because it is being played by Cherubim.

My conclusion is, brigades matter; Green Joseph is not playing a GE.  Blue Joseph is.  If there were two heroes (one Green and one Blue) in battle, the Blue GE works; but because they are the same character, the Blue GE doesn't?  I guess I just think that multi-brigade heroes should be severable for immunity.

He is actually a hero who is Blue and Green at the same time.  You don't get to pick and choose what brigade he is, he is always both brigades.  The two character example is different because they are two different characters...one character cannot be two.

By your logic, if I ignore Gold, then Foreign Wives can still block.  She's obviously a brigade other than Gold, so why not?

But that does not work, because she fits the description for the type of card that is ignored.  She can't enter battle, and even if she did, the character ignoring Gold would still be immune (through ignore) to anything she played.

TL;DR - Multi cards are all their brigades at the same time, they don't get to pick which one they are.
