Shiba Tsukune KYD xp2 version states she isn't unique. The normal ruling is that you can't run an exp card with the same exp level from kyd because they count as the same card for uniqueness. However in Tsukune's case her KYD version isn't unique, so can I include both the kyd xp2 version and her normal xp 2 version in the same deck?
Also her trait doesn't say "this" card is non-unique, but rather "Tsukune is non-unique" so does it apply to all copies of cards named (Shiba) Tsukune in play and in the deck?
So if her kyd exp 2 version is in play can I have both her xp1 and xp3 versions seperately in play without needing to overlay?

Shiba Tsukune: (C)an I include both the kyd xp2 version and her normal xp 2 version in the same deck?
Rules Archive, Experienced: "Experienced and Experienced KYD cards are separate cards. Both may be in a deck, and neither impinges upon the other's uniqueness."
Also her trait doesn't say "this" card is non-unique, but rather "Tsukune is non-unique" so does it apply to all copies of cards named (Shiba) Tsukune in play and in the deck?
No.
So if her kyd exp 2 version is in play can I have both her xp1 and xp3 versions seperately in play without needing to overlay?
No. The Experienced and Experienced 3 versions have a uniqueness conflict.
