I just had my first tournament, and I wanted to know if I ruled this correctly:

A player has Jacob in their territory, and plays a card that captures two heroes. Can that player capture an opponent's Jacob, and then discard one of them, OR can the opponent's Jacob not even be targeted?

Since the following is in the REG under Capture, I would guess that you can, and then you get to choose which one is discarded.

Instant Abilities > Capture > How to Use

Captured characters retain their identity, therefore must conform to the restrictions of duplicates in play. Should a character by the same name be already in a player’s territory or set aside area, the holder of the duplicates determines which duplicate to discard.

I though it was rules that when you capture a hero that you have in your territory, you had to discard your hero and not the captured hero.

That may be the case, but I am not "in the know" of such a ruling. I am only going according to the REG.

I've never heard of such a thing. The previously quoted REG entry is accurate. You can capture the character and then choose which one you want to discard.

Sorry to bring this back up but I noticed this post: http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=273.0

According to what Guardian say on the bottom of the first page, your opponent's Jacob cannot even be a target to capture, because you cannot choose to "control" two of the same unique charaters. So would the ruling be Jacob cannot be targeted?
