Scenario:

Opponent RA's with James banded to John.

I block with King Manasseh with some chariots, play Dungeon of Malachi to Capture John.

He plays Sons of Thunder.

Question is can he  and discard 2 or 1

Sons of Thunder (Di)

Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Purple • Ability: X / X • Class: None • Special Ability: Interrupt the battle and discard X evil cards. Cannot be prevented. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Mark 3:17 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()

The real question is, how did the attacker have inish to play Sons of Thunder...  8/6 > 1/1

The other remark is, since King Zedekiah makes Dungeon CBN, then Sons of Thunder couldn't interrupt it even if John had init.

However, in case you are curious: Say you block James and John with Beast from the Earth (10/10). You play Dungeon to capture James. John plays Sons of Thunder. Since the interrupt pauses the effect of the enhancement, James has not been captured yet, and X=2 when SoT completes.

If you block with King Zed (or some other guy that makes Dungeon CBN) and let's say he is somehow >7/8, then you play Dungeon to capture James. John now has initiative to play SoT, but he can't interrupt Dungeon, so X=1.
