Temporary — Riftbound keyword reference

Glossary

Temporary is a Riftbound triggered-ability keyword on permanents, short for "at the start of this permanent's controller's Beginning Phase, before scoring, kill this." A Temporary permanent is built to last exactly one round — it's automatically killed at the very start of its controller's next Beginning Phase, before points are even scored that turn.
