Hey that Character is already in play!

I'm wanting to know the official ruling on this!  I make a rescue attempt with one of the two angels below.  I then proceed to pull a judge character that is already in play.  I then choose to discard one of them since you can't have two of them in play at the same time. 

Is this legal, or since I already have one in play, then I cannot choose the same character?

I'm not sure if the New REG has changed anything, but the old rule was that you could not choose the same judge that you already control.

You're only allowed to pull out one you already control if it's not adding the character to battle.

Which would be why Samuel works with a David already in play.  That is the main reason I have been confused on this!

Is that what the new REG says? The old rule did not have that exception.

Special abilities have always been able to cause a player to control duplicate characters. The exception to that rule has always been banding. One of the oldest examples capturing an opponent's character when you already control a copy. One of the newest examples is Samuel pulling another copy of David out of the owner's deck. Both are legal plays.

I see. I guess I misunderstood the old rule. I'm glad Crash asked this question, and that SomeKittens answered it correctly.  ;D

So after battle do you have to discard one of the davids?

As soon as the second David/King Saul enters play, you must discard one of them.
