...You may discard this card from your Magician during battle to capture up to two human Heroes...
Nope, because "your" means own and control. If you band in their magician, you control it, but you still don't own it.
-
actually, 'your' means possession and control. does possession = own? there is no definition for possession in the REG.
Your
Several cards in Redemption® refer to cards that are “your” cards (e.g., your Priest, your Heroes, your demons, your warrior-class Evil Character, ). The possession and control of a card is implied by the use of the word “your”.
-
Yes, 'possession' (as in, the card is legally your possession) = 'own'.
Thus, 'your' = 'own' + 'control'.
Be sure to read this thread on the Magic Charms issue. (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=17701.msg279135#msg279135)

Even though you can't use it, it's still a wise play because then your opponent can't use it either (seeing as they don't control the Magician). ;)
-
I would say it's a wise move just because then you're making a very powerful character (their MC endowed magician) vulnerable to discard by your opponent.

That is true as well. There are lots of good reasons for stealing their Magician with MC.
