If a unit with Temporary is saved by Zhonyas during an opponent's turn, does it still die at the start of my next turn?
Ruling: Yes, the unit still dies. Temporary is a status that remains on the unit even after being saved by Zhonyas, and will trigger again at the start of the next turn.
Sequence:
- Temporary triggers at the start of the beginning phase
- If the unit is saved by Zhonyas during that turn, it survives that specific trigger
- The Temporary status remains on the unit
- At the start of the next turn's beginning phase, Temporary triggers again and kills the unit
Nuances:
- Temporary is a trigger effect, not a static effect, so it only attempts to kill the unit when it triggers at the start of each beginning phase
- Saving the unit from one Temporary trigger does not remove the Temporary status from the unit
