+ The next time you play a non-Command Action card, replay it.

Flagship is an Action-Duration-Command card from Plunder. It is a Throne Room variant that waits in your play area until the next Action card you play, and then plays that once more. Since Flagship itself is terminal, it's going to require some villages if you want to use it like Throne Room and double-play another Action you have in your hand with it; but unlike Throne Room, if you don't have another Action you can play immediately, Flagship will still be there and activate when you next do have one.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• This isn't optional; whatever that next non-Command Action card is, Flagship replays it.
• It replays it even if the card trashed itself, and even if it isn't your turn.
• Command cards, such as Flagship itself, are not replayed; Flagship waits for a non-Command Action card.
• If you play two Flagships and then e.g. a Harbor Village, you'll play the Harbor Village three times total - once normally and once for each Flagship.

Other rules clarifications

• See the Additional rules section for Duration cards in Dominion: Plunder regarding things happening "the next time".
• If you play a Flagship and then a Band of Misfits, you will replay the card that the Band of Misfits plays. But if you play a Flagship and then a Necromancer, Flagship will replay the Necromancer (and you'll choose a 2nd card to play from the trash).
  • If you play Flagship, then play a Band of Misfits, which plays a Duration card, the Flagship will replay that Duration card. The Band of Misfits will stay in play, but the Flagship will not; you will have to remember that the Duration card was played twice. [1]

Flagship replays your next Action, skipping tricky things like other Flagships.

Secret History

I tested "Throne a Treasure this turn, Throne an Action next turn." The Throne Treasure part seemed like it could just be +; then I thought of the next-time replayer. It cost initially, but was too weak.
