In most cases, a Duration will stay in play until the Clean-up phase of your next turn. But a Duration card played in such a way as to have no effect next turn will be discarded from play the turn it was played. This may happen because the next-turn effects are optional and you chose not to activate them (e.g. {{card|Barge}}), or because they are conditional and that condition wasn't met (e.g., a {{card|Tactician}} that didn't discard any cards), or if you didn't follow the card's instructions at all (due to {{Card|Enchantress}} or [[Way]]s). A card like {{Card|Caravan}} that provides +Cards on your next turn stays in play even if you won't have enough cards in your deck to draw any next turn. A Duration played this turn that won't stay in play can be trashed with {{Card|Improve}}. | In most cases, a Duration will stay in play until the Clean-up phase of your next turn.

When you use a [[Throne Room variant]] on a Duration, that {{Card|Throne Room}} stays in play for as long as the Duration does. This is true even if the Duration is only going to have one effect on the next turn (e.g., if you play a {{card|Tactician}} twice with {{Card|Throne Room}}, or if you play a {{card|Barge}} twice with {{Card|Throne Room}} and opt for one same-turn effect and one next-turn effect). If the Duration leaves play at an unusual time (e.g. {{Card|Highwayman}} and {{Card|Conjurer}}) the {{Card|Throne Room}} still stays in play until Clean-up; and if you replay that Duration later on, the {{Card|Throne Room}} still leaves play. A card that plays a Duration only once (e.g. {{Card|Elder}} or {{Card|Vassal}}) never stays in play for multiple turns. | When you use a [[Throne Room variant]] on a Duration, that {{Card|Throne Room}} stays in play for as long as the Duration does.

The best solution is still to make the change that means {{Card|Throne Room|Throne}}/{{Card|Feast}} no longer works and people quit the game. "If this isn't a Duration card" was too awful for the Ways. They could have had a general rule that durations didn't get to use Ways; maybe that's still worth considering for a later printing, but they didn't get it. There had to be new cards and those new cards got to exist. |

The duration part has to be conditional on the card being in play, to avoid more problems ala {{Event|Bonfire}} / Durations. It's doable, in the same way that {{Card|Crown}} exists despite it seeming like there would never be an Action - Treasure (to be fair {{Card|Crown}} does generate lots of questions). But, it would take something really compelling. |

Originally all sets from {{Set|Seaside}} on were going to have Duration cards; {{Card|Fishing Village}} for example was from {{Set|Prosperity}}. This didn't happen because of how things went down for Valerie with {{Set|Seaside}}; she didn't like Duration cards, and spent a couple pages on the rules for them. My rulebook only spends a short paragraph on Durations, and I like them, and they are very popular with players. They open up card possibilities significantly, especially for Attacks. So, I'm happy having a couple nice ones in an expansion like that, and always have been. And it's no trouble, it's easy to make them. | Originally all sets from {{Set|Seaside}} on were going to have Duration cards; {{Card|Fishing Village}} for example was from {{Set|Prosperity}}.
