Daimyo is an Action–Command card from Rising Sun. It is a Throne Room variant that allows you to draw a card before playing the card you Throne, but it doesn't work on itself or other Command cards.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• This isn't optional; whatever that next non-Command Action card is, Daimyo replays it. It replays it even if the card trashed itself.
• Command cards, such as Daimyo itself, are not replayed; Daimyo waits for a non-Command Action card (or fails to do anything more if the turn ends before you play one).
• If you play two Daimyos and then e.g. a Craftsman, you'll play the Craftsman three times total - once normally and once for each Daimyo.
• Daimyo costs ; see the Debt section.

Trivia

Secret History

The initial idea was a cantrip Throne Room for . It's too confusing when used on itself, and also too powerful when used on itself. We know how to Throne Thrones, we'd get that part right; but I personally had endless trouble remembering all of the draws you get in the middle of other things happening. The fix was to make it a Flagship. It can't play itself, and it's just overall simpler and fairer, while also being nicely different from Flagship.
