Throne Room variants synergize with some [[one-shot]] cards that trash themselves or return themselves to the supply (e.g. {{Card|Horse}}, {{Card|Experiment}}, or {{Card|Tragic Hero}}). These cards often give a strong but fleeting effect counter-balanced by the fact that you lose the card once it is used, but playing them via a Throne Room variant allows you to eke extra plays out of a single copy of the card. | Throne Room variants synergize with some [[one-shot]] cards that trash themselves or return themselves to the supply (e.g. {{Card|Horse}}, {{Card|Experiment}}, or {{Card|Tragic Hero}}).

Many (such as {{Card|Mining Village}}, {{Card|Wish}}, or <span class="card-popup">[[Prince]]<span class="noprint">[[File:PrinceOld2.jpg|200px|link=]]</span></span> (early version)) use restrictive wording—generally with the words “if you did” or “to”—that prevent an ability from activating a second time by making it conditional on the card actually being trashed, returned to the Supply, or set aside. Throne Room anti-synergizes with these cards because playing the card a second time will have little or no effect. |

Even if such cards are played twice only one copy of the card is in play, so Throne Room will fail to double the below-the-line effects. |
