This is the only card that makes you want to Head on Spikes yourself.

Let's say you had a theon greyjoy and he died so he is in your dead pile. Then your opponent played heads on spikes and put a second theon greyjoy into your dead pile. Would you be able to use this ability on theon greyjoy?

RRG, p. 5:

 

Dead Pile

A single instance of a unique card in a player’s dead pile does not prevent an effect that would cause the card to enter play directly from the dead pile. This is because such an effect removes the only instance of the card from the dead pile.

 

So if you have multiple incidences of Theon in your dead pile, #1 stops you from putting #2 into play with Aeron, and #2 stops you from putting #1 into play. You'd need some (non-existent) effect that took #1 and #2 out of the dead pile at exactly the same time.

That's what I thought. Was just checking.

Thanks for the clarification. 

 

As a new thrones player the Dead Pile is probably the concept that tripped me up the most when I was reading the rules. Well, that and duplicates...

Yeah, the dead pile, duplicates and unique cards can trip people from other games (with usually have just the one discard pile/graveyard/etc.). All three are tied together.
