So, I've been told by various other players that I can NOT have two heroes with the same name in my deck, even if they're of a different brigade. I couldn't find anything on the forums, but I found this in the 10th edition rulebook:

Unique characters with special abilities that have the
same name and brigade are limited to a maximum of 1 each
per 50 cards in a deck. For example, you can have one
David (green brigade) and one David (red brigade)
but not two David cards in the green brigade (even if their
special abilities vary) in a deck that is smaller than 100
cards.

Now, the rules are pretty clear, my question is whether or not this rule has errata, or something else I don't know about, or if whoever told me I couldn't do it was wrong.

That's the way I understand it as well.

same name + same brigade = same card
same name + same artwork = same card

 

So, in David's case, they have the same name, but not the same brigade nor artwork. That is why he is the exception.
