If a unit gains Temporary from an effect (not printed on the card), and then Portal Rescue is used on it, does it lose Temporary when it returns to play?

Ruling: Yes, the unit loses Temporary when Portal Rescue banishes and returns it. When game objects move from a board zone to a non-board zone, they lose all effects that were applied to them and become new game objects.

Nuances:

  • This only works if the unit is not a token, as tokens would not return from being banished in the first place
