What happens if due to in-game card effects I end up with two copies of a unique personality among the cards I own (say by having 2 Go us in play and both of them ending up with the Unique keyword)?
In other words does your deck becoming illegal during play effect you?

The legality of a deck is unaffected by changes of the game state of cards during the course of the game. Gaining the Unique keyword temporarily doesn't affect deck legality.
