Answer

Assuming "ttw" is Time Warp: in 1v1, your Time Warp is played as pending first (Promising Future's "next player" plays first), the Elder Dragon becomes pending. Finalize up the chain, so your Time Warp finalizes and lingers on the chain. Then Elder Dragon finalizes and enters play (units do not linger on the chain + passive ability is active). This places Elder Dragon's 'When you play me' ability on the chain as pending. First we have to finalize all pending items before resolving. So Elder Dragon's 'When you play me' ability finalizes and lingers on the chain. Now with all items on the chain finalized resolution can start, this happens Last In, First Out (LIFO). So Elder Dragon's 'When you play me' ability resolves first. After that is done, your Time Warp will resolve. Your Time Warp's effect (take a turn after this one, banish it) happens, queueing your extra turn right after the current one.
