Do DAEs count as a "single-brigade good enhancement" for the purpose of The Throne of Grace?

The Throne of Grace - "If your human Hero is removed from battle by a special ability on an opponent's evil card, you may discard a single-brigade good Enhancement from hand to negate that card."

I disagree, when you choose how to use the enhancement it becomes that half, where it's only single brigade. See King Zimri

If I were using it, then yes.  However, even though I am targeting it as a good enhancement, and it only has one good brigade, the location I am targeting it in (hand) also has the card being targetable as two different brigades (one good, one evil).  I think this would be different from the "played" examples (like Speech), in that it is still in a location where it has both brigades and both alignments.  Therefore, I would agree with Gabe.

My reply earlier was from my phone, thus brief and not very explanative.

John is correct about the ruling for Zimri because his ability is inclusive. As long as the card is a crimson Enhancement it qualifies. It doesn't matter what else the card can be counted as, or even if it's crimson + another brigade.

TToG is like Zimri, except it's exclusive due to the "single-brigade" language. Since the card being used comes from hand, it's at face value. At face value every dual-affiliation card (including Fire Foxes) has at least two brigades, meaning that they cannot meet the single brigade requirement.
