| + | '''Command''' is a [[card type]] introduced by the [[Dominion 2019 Errata and Rules Tweaks|2019 errata]]. Commands are [[emulator]]s that play cards from the [[Supply]], leaving them there. Giving these emulators a type allows some abilities to restrict you from playing them in infinite loops. |

| − | '''Command''' is a [[card type]] introduced by the [[Dominion 2019 Errata and Rules Tweaks]]. Command cards are [[Action]] cards that can play other cards without altering the physical state of the game. Most of them are [[Command variant]]s. Giving those cards a type allows their abilities to restrict playing each other in infinite loops. | + | |
| | == List of Commands == | | == List of Commands == |
| − | * {{Card|Band of Misfits}}, {{Card|Overlord}} and {{Card|Captain}} (revised versions) play a card from the supply. | + | * {{Card|Band of Misfits}} |
| − | * {{Card|Prince}} (revised version) plays a set-aside card at the start of each turn. | + | * {{Card|Overlord}} |
| − | * {{Event|Inheritance}} (revised version) causes {{Card|Estate|Estates}} to become Command cards, that play a set-aside card. | + | * {{Card|Captain}} |
| − | * {{Card|Flagship}} replays the next played card.

| − | === Corner Cases ===
| + | |
| − | Some cards nearly qualify as Commands, but not totally and so do not need the Command type.
| + | |
| − | * {{Card|Necromancer}} [[Necromancer#Why isn't Necromancer a Command card?|may become a Command card]], as it plays cards without properly moving them. But it still turns them around to change the physical state of the game and mostly inhibits loops this way.
| + | |
| − | * {{Card|Royal Carriage}} plays cards without moving them, but moves itself.
| + | |
| − | * {{Card|Scepter}} is a treasure and as all the Command cards can only play action cards, it is safe from simple infinite loops.

| − | == Examples of Inhibited Loops ==
| + | |
| − | If Command cards could play other Command cards, there were several ways to loop infinitely while keeping the physical state of the game untouched. Usually this involves voluntarily choosing to play a Command card from the supply with Band of Misfits. But, if that Command card is the only action card cheaper than Band of Misfits in the supply, this choice would be enforced resulting in an unbreakable infinite loop.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Playing a Band of Misfits after a Flagship and playing a Flagship from the supply will replay the Band of Misfits once more, which can again play a Flagship etc.
| + | {{Event|Inheritance}} refers to Command cards, so that {{Card|Estate|Estates}} cannot emulate them. |
| | | | |
| − | With one cost reduction, Inheritance could set aside a Band of Misfits, so Band of Misfits could then play Estates from the supply which play the set aside Band of Misfits to play an Estate from the supply and repeat.
| + | {{Card|Necromancer}} is not a Command card because its mechanic already prevents infinite loops. |
| | | | |
| − | With {{Event|Ferry}} applied to Captain and a cost reduction by one, Captain could play Band of Misfits which in turn could play Captain. Here, for an unbreakable loop, Band of Misfits needed to be the only non-Duration Action card costing (after reduction) up to {{Cost|4}}.
