| − | Early Command variants—{{Card|Band_of_Misfits|prior versions of Band of Misfits|oi=2}}, <span class="card-popup">[[Inheritance#Versions| | + | Early Command variants—{{Card|Band_of_Misfits|prior versions of Band of Misfits|oi=2}}, <span class="card-popup">[[Inheritance#Versions|Inherited]]<span class="noprint">[[File:InheritanceOld2.jpg|320px|link=]]</span></span> Estates, and {{Card|Overlord|oi=1}}—acted by actually changing the identity or abilities of said card. Thus when you played a Band of Misfits, for example, it "became" a copy of whatever card it was ''playing as'' until it left play, and was counted as such for the purposes of such cards as {{card|Horn of Plenty}}. [[Donald X.]] had expressed dissatisfaction with this state of affairs because it involved "shapeshifting": two copies of the same card in different locations (e.g., a Band of Misfits in play and one in the trash, or an Inherited Estate in your deck and one in an opponent's deck) might have different names and/or abilities. This led to the [[Dominion 2019 Errata and Rules Tweaks]] that altered these to work like the later Command variants. |
The later Command variants ({{Card|Necromancer}} and {{Card|Captain}}) work in a different way: technically, instead of "becoming" the target card, they just cause the target card to be played without entering the play area (i.e., "leaving it there"). Certain of these cards are not allowed to play [[Duration]] cards, to avoid confusion caused by Duration cards being played with nothing left in play to track them. New tracking rules were added to allow some of these later-style Command variants to track Duration cards (either playing them or playing a card that plays them multiple times). | The later Command variants ({{Card|Necromancer}} and {{Card|Captain}}) work in a different way: technically, instead of "becoming" the target card, they just cause the target card to be played without entering the play area (i.e., "leaving it there").
