If a unit with temporary is saved by Zhonya's Hourglass when it would die at the start of turn, does it still have temporary or is the keyword removed?

Answer

Ruling: You can use Zhonya's Hourglass to save the unit from dying to temporary, but the unit keeps the temporary keyword and it will trigger again on the next turn.

Sequence:

  • Unit with temporary would die at start of turn
  • Zhonya's Hourglass triggers to recall the unit
  • Unit is recalled instead of dying
  • Unit retains temporary keyword since it never left the board
  • Temporary will trigger again on the following turn

Nuances:

  • The unit doesn't leave the board when recalled by Zhonya's, so temporary is not removed

Does this answer look correct?
