I think Saul and Paul are considered to be the same Character. Otherwise you should on the same line of logic be allowed to use King David and David the Shepherd in one deck because King David represents a later part of David's life. Paul is Saul after converted. It doesn't make sense to allow the same character as long as the card represents a different aspect of their later lifePaul and Saul/Paul is a unique situation, but I don't think you can have both in play.

Only upon conversion does he become a completely different character (a hero). So if you leave him as Saul and use promo Paul then he can be in your deck. It would be best to do this and if promo Paul is discarded or banished then you could convert Saul and get a new Paul.
Deck building rules are only for initial deck building (and, in the case of Haman's Plot in T2, for between rounds). As long as your deck is legal when the game begins that's all that matters.
Can Ananias of Damascus search for the new Paul promo? I heard there were some new rule changes about same unique characters and targeting and such

I heard there were some new rule changes about same unique characters and targeting and suchFantastic question! Saul and Paul are the same person (just as King David and David, the Shepherd are the same person), and his name was never changed (although he did start preferring one language's version of his name over the one he preferred prior to his conversion), so it would appear that he can search for the new Paul.
http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/rules-announcements/duplicate-cards-updated/That was changed last year--all references to a unique character refer to all versions of that unique character.Ananias can search for the new Paul.
Why not any brigade
Quote from: kariusvega on March 10, 2017, 01:03:42 PMWhy not any brigadeFrom the REG:Default Conditions● Converted characters are converted to the brigade color of the card with the convert abilitySeems pretty straightforward. Ananias can fetch Paul and park him safely in territory, but Paul loses his Greenness.
