    This set is trying to buff the quests. look at cataclysm, that paladin legendary, and more ways to get mage spells. This card is aimed at quest priest. You play Your reward, then next turn you play temporus and they can’t kill you, giving you a good chance to set up a kill. I don’t know if this will work or not, and in all other decks this sucks.

    2/5

      Are you sure about that? This card is bad… Most of the meta decks would profit so much of this effect. Jade druid, Exodia Mage, Highlander Priest, Highlanderlock, Aggro Decks. General OTK decks. Literally anything. Are you willing to risk the whole game for those two consecutive turns? I am preeeeeetty sure I don’t….

        Keep in mind that once you play this card that probably means you have set up some sort of combo and can win in the two turns. Are you willing to risk the whole game for winning the game? I am.

    So let’s say you play this and make a copy with Zora the explorer. Say you survive your opponents turn. Then, on the first on your two turns you play this again. What happens next?

    Do you still get the second turn? Then two turns for opponent?

    Does it overwrite prev. Battlecry and immediately give opponent 2 turns?

    What about if you play twice in same turn? Does opponent get 4 turns or does it do some weird thing?

    What if you play ot and during opponents two turns he plays it?

    I’ve gone cross-eyed.

      The only use for this card seems to be that you can make an OTK priest if you can survive the first 2 rounds your opponent go first. Prophet Velen, mistcaller next turn mist caller again and mind blast for 40 damage each.

    This card is very good.

    At first glance I thought thats another benedictus, but we may get an epic that is “legendary” like obsidian statue.
    But the more I think about this card the more potential I see. There will be some other cards released which could increase temporus potential. So it may be that this card is good atm or the next expansion.

    But as of now, when you plan the game that you achieve not being killed by your opponent, you get two turns. And that is very lethal with Velen.
    1)Velen and a 3 mana copy dude.
    2) the next turn Herald Volash
    KABOOM!!! Four Velens=2^4=16x Multiplier fit damage, that means holy smite is an otk.

    The only problem with Tempora is in mirror matchups because the first to play temporus instantly loses. But that creates also a fun experience because no one can combo the opponent down.

    My final conclusion is that Temporus is a card of the Priest and Mage class design duality.

    Priest: Mage Mechanics imports

    -Priest received a sorcerers apprentice
    -Burn with shadow reaper anduin
    And now with Temporus the effect of the mage quest, without its struggle for completion, but a symmetric effect.

    Mage: Priest Imports
    -Also with Frostlich Jaina, mage was opened the opportunity of the priest value game and its constant healing.

    On Blizzards side this card is great design wise, because it will become a meme card, no doubt.

    And the statline of this card is irrelevant. As a 7/7 it would not be better, because he may be more difficult to get off the board for the above deschribed velen combo.

    Yeah, it’s pretty obviously going to be bad. Giving the opponent the first go with the double turns might just lose you the game. If you can guarantee you survive and have some kind of two turn win-the-game combo, it might have a niche, but that doesn’t sound very Priest, especially in a world where Raza Priest is still facerolling.

    And in Arena, the idea of giving your opponent two turns in a row is even more laughable.

    Standard: 1/5
    Arena: 1/5

    This card is unplayable vs: Any tempo deck, Any Big EZ deck, Any Combo deck, Quest mage.

    This card will ruin: Any aggro deck (If you lived until turn7, then they probably ran out of cards.)

    I love how it’s called Temporus, but it’s the exact opposite of tempo.

    2.5/5 some potential

    At first I thought this was a terrible card but then I realised once you slam this thing down your opponent MUST kill you by these two turns otherwise they lose the game
    Its certainly going to scare some players into finding lethal (If they do then GG) you should be able to survive their barrage if you have a decent taunt up

    I want this card to work, I reall do. It’s bonkers and… it’s bonkers. Maybe there will be something else added to the Dragon Priest bouquet that will make it playable. Time will tell.

    I just don’t see this card being super great. Basically, you have to play this on an empty board. Let’s say that you’re at 20 life, the opponent has 10 dmg on board and you play this you’re dead so unless you can magically delay your death with like ice block in a class that doesn’t have ice block then it’s good. Interestingly enough if the text was reverse where you got 2 turns and then your opponent this card would be busted.

    Would playing this with doomsayer be a good idea? I dont know, just trying to make it work.

    • Dontfeedtheemu
      November 23, 2017 at 2:46 PM

      No, they would essentially have 2 turns to kill Doomsayers.

      I really want to try N’Zoth Priest. Amara can keep you alive 2 turns. Then you get N’Zoth full board with charge basically. It’s a bit wonky because of how long it’d take to assemble all the pieces but it could OTK I’m pretty sure.

      • Killy
        November 24, 2017 at 12:51 PM

        They don’t have 2 turns to kill Doomsyers. Either they kill it in their first turn or they can’t and they “lose” their first turn.

        • Killy
          November 24, 2017 at 12:53 PM

          Nvm missread that, then this cards is worse as I thought.^^

    • Anonymus
      November 23, 2017 at 2:49 PM

      I can imagine this being ran alongside Doomsayer, but whether this card is good or not, does not depend on this. Doomsayer is going to activate after the critical two turns you give your opponent. You most likely going to “OTK” him if you survive that. Since it’s a kill or be killed situation for your opponent, he can just ignore the Doomsayer.

      • SundayGary
        November 23, 2017 at 3:14 PM

        Oh, damn, you’re right. I was stupidly thinking their first turn would end and then doomsayer would go off.

      • Lul
        November 24, 2017 at 12:17 AM

        If you want to doomsayer a bord, it means that your opponents bord is big. If you then play this card, you give then the opportunity to hit you in the face TWICE before you get to clear it. It’s likely that those 2 consecutive turns are fatal.

    Is it an insanely broken or garbage card?

    There a few of Kazakas Priest games where this is 2-turn where you could not otherwise have it.

    Set up Lyra/Mana reduction turn1
    Turn 2 leathal

    Set up Velen turn1
    Turn 2 leathal

    Any other set up an opponent could otherwise disrupt and this is worth it.

    But if the meta is too fast you will never play this card. So it’s probably dead.

    But in a slow meta I think this wins games so would most likely play it.

    …I though of another one. Not Raza Priest but N’Zoth

    Play this turn 9. N’Zoth with high attack minions thatvessentially have charge. That might be viable…

  16. Cuddler
    November 23, 2017 at 11:58 AM

    I’m not confident this will see serious play even in a Dragon Priest deck unless the metagame becomes something like the Mean Streets metagame, where aggrosive decks are completely out of control can pretty much run out of steam around turns seven or eight.

    I doubt this card will be complete trash though. This will be the only seven costed Dragon in standard, something dragon priests could definitely use at the moment. This would also curves in quite nicely with Dragonfire Potion.

    It’ll be a control tool against aggressive decks that have already run out of steam and cards to help ensure a final victory.

      cheaper ofc, but better? idk, i like to lose ins style

  18. PurifiedAzure
    November 23, 2017 at 10:37 AM

    For the statline this card has the effect should allow you to take an extra turn, then your opponent has two turns. No matter what class your facing, if you play this card your opponent will have a great chance of killing you unless they have no cards in their hand, and even then your in a situation where your opponent draws 2 cards that could be capable of turning the game around. It’s a fun card, but either the stats for the card itself should be better, maybe even give it taunt, or there should be another effect to atleast remedy the situation of a possible immediate loss wgeb you play this.

    LOVE desin behind card
    Now do you have way to ensure that ur enemy wont kill you ?
    and second that card make him draw two times in row BEFORE you so in realy neeedy grindy games in fatigue it may win you a game
    prob only meme card in meme decks still love desin
    its like COME AT ME BRO

  20. ONly one way to be good
    November 23, 2017 at 9:13 AM

    Only way this card would be good would be in late game where your opponent has no cards. but since dead mans hand is a card and priest isnt the best class to handle not dying at the end game this card is crap. had warrior gotten this card this would be huge for dead mans hand, getting another situational cold light.

    • Cuddler
      November 23, 2017 at 11:51 AM

      I don’t think you should consider Dead Man’s Hand when evaluating most cards outside of cards that would go into a Dead Man’s Hand Warrior deck just because that deck is so far down in the competitive spotlight in spite of how fun the deck can be to pull off.

      As far as Priest being bad in the late game, I’m unsure if that’s exactly true. The two main priest archetypes right now, Big and Highlander, can defiantly get to the late game, especially the latter, and both use healing cards like Spirit Lash, Obsidian Statue, Greater Healing Potion, and Priest of the Feast. This is true to the point where Highlander Priest’s best match-up right now is Control Warlock. Granted, this will not go into either of those decks.

      If it does see play, it will be in a control focused Dragon Priest deck in a metagame with a ton of aggro decks that burn the candle at both ends.

    I love that blizzard is making these wacky cards tha probably will not work but have a super fun design in it. It sure wasn’t made for the average ladder/arena player but for those adventurous spirits like myself. So he’ll yeah I’m trying it alongside with Rin and new deathrattle cube hunter

  22. Wow
    November 23, 2017 at 9:02 AM

    I can’t understand why they always make a meme card for priest and warlock in mostly every expansion.
    In Knights of the Frozen Throne they made Archbishop Benedictus and now this drake?! And the warlock legendary from now is just a total joke.
    I understood that Shadowreaper Anduin is insane with Raza so priest isn’t weak anymore, but they should give some love to Quest Priest, I mean, this quest just got forgotten.
    I expected some good deathrattle legendary. What will happend with this deck after N’Zoth leaves standard?
    And dragon priest for sure can’t use this card.

      most likely nothing
      i mean it isn’t your opponent takes an EXTRA turn, it is just your opponent takes 2 turns.

      If it does work with bran at all, it would most likely be 4 turns each, or Battlecry: lose the game. If you somehow don’t, win the game.

    November 23, 2017 at 8:04 AM

    I can see this working meh in the combo-Razakus Priest, but then again the opponent has two turns to kill you, sooo… I mean, if Priest had Ice Block, sure. If Amara works in the deck, sure. But I don’t know about that.

    I feel the best fit would probably be in a big-stuff Dragon-Deathrattle deck with this card plus N’Zoth as a finisher. Drop Amara turn 8, turn 9 drop Temporus and heal face, turn 10 drop N’Zoth and kill them on your second turn. Greedy deck? Heck yeah. But fun finisher? Heck yeah.

    Should be pretty insane in Razakus Priest if the board state will allow you to survive the opponents turn. I mean, insane machine gun value if Velen is dropped on your first of 2 turns.

    • Moltar

      Sounds like a win more combo, that’s already working today without this card.

      • Schulzen
        November 23, 2017 at 7:27 AM

        But makes it easier to pull off as you might be able to rek you opponent even if Mind Blast etc. is still in your deck.

        • Moltar
          November 23, 2017 at 7:38 AM

          You are giving your opponent 2 turns to win or prepare before you try to pull the combo.

          If you have the combo pieces and you can survive 2 turns in a row, you are probably in a good position and don’t need this card anyway 😛

    well ****,

    I love tribe cards and dragon priest is no exeption. I was hoping that next to the duskbreaker there would be one more playable dragon (maybe not as strong though :P). This however is not playable. You dont want to give your opponent 2 turns. The only time you would want to take that risk is when they have little/no cards in their hand or when playing against a super slow deck which, as we all know, arent very populair. Also this card wants you to do some OTK stuff and that means that usually no dragons are involved (exept for malagos) so its rather pointless that this card has the dragon tag. Maybe some funny deck might run this but you wont want to play it against at least 70% of the current meta. (love the art though)

    • darkslayer_91

      • Thalgande
        November 24, 2017 at 5:53 AM

        Well priest has more spells other than mindblast. For example smite. Doubling the power of that spell will do 4 dmg while spellpower +5 will deal 7 dmg. You’d problably run both cards (malygos/velen) in this deck but malygos has more potential overall
