That's because Captain plays a Border Guard from the Supply, so that Border Guard is not yours, so does not benefit from Lantern's wording "
Your Border Guards reveal 3 cards and discard 2." (my emphasis)
Thank you! I didn't realize.
It's not a very intuitive interaction, because most people internalize Lantern as being applicable when they play a Border Guard. It's mostly the same, but in rare cases (Captain, Necromancer, Band of Misfit, Overlord) it's not.
Thanks for the errata, this confusing interaction will soon work differently: http://forum.shuffleit.nl/index.php?topic=3767.msg16319#msg16319
The new wording for Lantern is: Border Guards you play reveal 3 cards and discard 2. (It takes all 3 being Actions to take the Horn.)
