1. I Believe so.

2. Dual Brigade AFAIK

1. The card actually has the Pharisee identifier printed on it so yes it is. The Wiki is not "always" correct, however it is correct a majority of the time and when errors are found they are corrected.

2. Where are you seeing these descriptors? Where they are located changes what they are referring to. I think "Split brigade" was the term before they had cards of both alignments (like Foreign Sword) for cards with more than one brigade. Dual brigade I think specifically refers to cards with exactly 2 brigades (Whether of the same alignment or opposite alignments).

Yea, but the wiki is better than redemption live, so its the best resouce for redemption cards out there , besides the REG.

Is redemption live "official"?

Redemption live is great for building themed decks!

I thought they were referred to as Dual-Alignment Enhancements.

They are both, the dual-brigade part just comes from the T2 rules.  I don't think there is much of an issue calling them any of these names, just be aware what each means.

I thought they were called Dual-Aligned Enhancements (DAE), and Dual-Brigade was reserved for cards of one alignment with two brigades (e.g., Joseph, Pentecost).

Ha!  I just read Koala King's original post.  He used exactly the same sentence.

Dual Alignment cards and Dual Brigade cards refer to different subsets of cards. Dual Alignment cards are cards that are both good and evil at face value (Foreign Sword, King Abijah, Philosophy, etc.). Dual Brigade cards are any cards that have exactly 2 brigades, the alignments of the brigades don't matter (Foreign Sword, Wheel Within a Wheel, Samuel, Peace, The False Prophet, The Stars, etc.).

The Tech 2 deck-building restrictions reference Dual Brigade cards, I believe, being that this format allows you to have 2 of those cards (might just be enhancements, I don't remember). Any individual Dual Alignment card could either fall under that or not.

I think currently the only Dual Alignment card that is not also a Dual Brigade card is Philosophy.

I'm pretty sure Saul is considered single-brigade evil for deck building purposes. I don't know about Roman Jailer.

At face value, Saul is indeed a unique, Roman, Pharisee, single-brigade, Gray Evil Character with no Special Ability.

At face value, The Roman Jailer is a unique, Roman, single-brigade, Gray Evil Character with a Special Ability.

Saul is considered a grey EC with no special ability for deck building purposes. Which means you can include three copies of him in a regular T1 deck...

That would have to be a 150 card deck!

Not so fast, grasshoppah

Maximum of 1 of each per 50 cards in a deck:
•    Card that has a special ability (printed in the text above the Scripture). Example: A fifty-six (56) card deck may contain only one Gideon’s Call, one Samson’s Strength, etc. A onehundred (100) card deck may contain no more than two Gideon’s Call, two Samson’s
Strength cards, etc. A one-hundred fifty (150) card deck may contain no more than three of any individual special ability card.
Maximum of 3 of each in a deck:
•    Single-colored Heroes, Evil Characters and enhancements that do not have a special ability.

At face value, Saul is a single-colored Evil Character with no special ability.  So he doesn't fall in the first section (1/50), but instead in the second section (max of 3 no matter the deck size).

In my experience there's very little reason why you'd want more than 1 of a unique character in a Type 1 deck, at least in the case of Saul/Paul. There are plentiful ways of searching out a Saul/Paul in your deck (some that auto-convert him) and you can't have a Saul EC in play if you have a Paul Hero in play, so the additional one(s) would most likely end up just clogging your hand. I suppose if you wanted to include something like Deluge of Rain as a block you could throw in an extra Saul/Paul so you have less of a cost to sacking your own character, but generally 1 is enough.
