Information

The new campaign gave reactive control decks some strong tools. Honor of Claws filters through your deck while creating card advantage. It effectively draws you three cards in mid to late game. Stormhalt Knife gains you five life in a pinch without losing tempo, it also enables you to play a sweeper and then kill an opposing relic weapon for free. It’s much better than Sword of the Sky King since you’ll have to tank a ton of damage while ramping in the early game.
Playing 4 Equivocates and 2 Desert Marshals to counter FJP, which turns out to be one of the best matchups for temporal. As long as you got some ways to deal with Vargo Redclaw, they’re actually pretty light on threats. Equivocate can also blow out Korovyat Palace which is very prevalent at the moment.
Running 2 Moondials for some flood protection. and it’s an answer to Auric Runehammer. It’s doing well against grindy three color mid-range decks for me.
Possible adjustments: If you’re in an aggro meta, consider switching in Defiance, more Stormhalt Knifes and the 4th Hailstorm over some card draw spells. If you find yourself in a lot of control mirror, bring in Eilyn's Choice and possibly Sword of the Sky King. If you’re against a lot of aegis units/ vargos, try out Unstable Form.
Although it’s not the best deck in the format, I had a lot of fun and made master with this deck. Hope you’ll enjoy it too.

MurderofCrowss Eternal Version: 1.45
Hey I saw you playing this against Jonah yesterday and really liked what I saw. I've been tweaking my temporal list the past few days and have come to a lot of the same conclusions with trimming merchants/ spot removal and maxing out on card draw. I have the same draw package as you + 2 Channel the Tempest over 2nd End of the Story and the Knife. Channel has been good against relic weapons, Vargos, and Sites (specifically Palace to prevent Svetya coming down). What are your thoughts on having Pit of Lenekta as the only win condition? I've been running pits in the market + a few The Great Parliament in the main deck. Parliament has proved to be quite useful against a variety of decks (I had TJP use 4 separate cards to try clear a 3 owl parliament).

I'm glad to see other people are enjoying Temporal since a lot of people seem to give it shade. It's a lot of fun to play and forces a lot of planning and assessing threat priority.

Channel the Tempest has always been one of my favorite cards. Effectively draws 4 cards, one of which being a free massive burn spell. The only issue is that it requires quad primal, which is very unlikely to meet at 9 power for the ramp version of temporal. But playing two as a late game finisher might be the right number, I’ll have to try it out and probably tweak the power base for it.
I can kinda relate to the hate towards temporal ‘caus once it goes off, it’s really unfun to play against. Personally I prefer to play JPS unitless which focuses more on messing with opponent’s game plan and plays a more interactive fair game. But as it stands, doing more busted stuff than the opponent is the only winning strategy.
