Does only 1 hero gain the ignore ability for Peace Treaty? The physical card says "hero" but the special ability on the wiki lists "heroes" as if there is an errata.

Just one.
That must have been a typo when the bulk of the cards were initially put in the wiki. If a card is erratad, it lists the original ability and the errata.

Only one Hero gains the ignore ability.

I'm reviving this post because there are so many threads already about peace treaty... and this appears to be the most recent....
I've heard this ruled both ways so many times... all by people I highly respect... all explained well...
Cherubim (OT Silver) bands to Ethiopian Treasurer (NT Purple).
ET's ability allows for Peace Treaty's ignore to be played pre-block.
Obviously the success of this combo lay in the ability for Cherubim to be the "OT Hero".
The fundamental question: Is the "hero" part of Treaty a TARGET ability (aka "select hero") or REQUIREMENT (aka "a purple OT hero).
Ethiopian Treasurer
Errata/Play As: Holder must search own draw pile or discard pile for one Bible icon with no special ailities and put it in hand. Holder may play the next enhancement card.
Peace Treaty
O.T. Hero ignores one evil brigade except orange, or may band to a human Hero.

"Hero" has always referred to the hero the enhancement is played on (i.e. "[This] Hero"). I see no reason why "OT Hero" would not be ruled the same. The only time you get to choose is if the card says "A hero" or "One hero" (for example).
With that said, I agree that we need an official Play As/Errata to distinguish whatever decision is made, since this is a common inconsistency in rulings. Putting that "OT" in the front was awkward.

I can definitely see this viewpoint. Gabe, Kevin and I talked about this at Nationals a couple years ago and gave the rationale for both stand points. Both are valid, we just need to decide.
