If i have no heros in territory can I set aside my opponents?

Yes.

My understanding was that you can set aside a hero from each territory that has a hero. What you are not allowed to do is pick and choose which territories get targeted. Every territory is targeted, including yours. However, the "do-as-much-as-you-can" principle still applies.

When does a ls's ability activate? Is this ls's ability a triggered ability? (When you draw this card (trigger ) you may set heros aside). So during what phase does this ls activate? During draw phase? if so, does it get an upkeep counter during the next phase which is the upkeep?...

Wow. Great catch. I must have missed any previous discussion of this, because you are the first I have heard mention it.

I would agree that the SA activates when drawn (Draw Phase) and that the first counter for your own hero would be removed immediately after that (Upkeep Phase).

This, of course, would mean that your hero would not be set aside for two turns like the card says. Interesting.

Since your opponent get to update the counter on his Upkeep Phase, it's not like your opponent has to set his hero aside for a longer period. In essence, no one's hero is "really" set aside for two turns.

Funnily enough the first complaint the LS ever got was that your opp got it back in one turn while you lost it for two.

That would be true if you drew it during your turn, rather than in the Draw Phase.

Well now we know it is but when it first came out we misunderstood.
