One-shots are cards which trash themselves, or otherwise remove themselves from your custody, when you play them. For some cards this self-trashing is a limitation to prevent you from getting multiple uses out of an otherwise powerful card; for a few, however, it's a feature to prevent the card from cluttering up your deck once you've gotten use out of it.

Cards in italics have been removed.
Mandatory one-shots
These cards always remove themselves from your deck when you play them, usually by being either trashed or returned to their piles.
- Seaside: Island, Treasure Map

- Adventures: Distant Lands
- Nocturne: Changeling, Wish

- Menagerie: Horse, Way of the Horse
- Way of the Butterfly's effect is strictly speaking optional, but it has no effect when not used as a one-shot.
- Plunder: Cage, Reckless, Search, Spell Scroll
Permanent Durations
These are Duration cards that, once you've played them, remain in play for the rest of the game and have effects that are activated every turn. They are therefore permanently removed from your deck, but still belong to you and benefit you.
Conditional one-shots
The cards do not always act as one-shots. Rather they offer the option to get an extra effect (e.g. in the case of Mining Village), or they act as one-shot if certain conditions are met which are sometimes under the control of the user (e.g. in the case of Horn of Plenty), sometimes not (e.g. in the case of Knights).

Trivia
Donald X. Vaccarino has written that Intrigue was originally intended to have a one-shot theme, but he abandoned the concept.
