Lore
The horologe node is the first focus. The annulus scepter the second. But to ascend to the highest levels of the craft the anachron time mage must abandon talismans and operate by mind alone. For the rare adept blessed by visions of the turning wheel they can shift the flow of siphilum in time's flow by sheer force of will.
It is these Temporal Masters that advised the great council until the highest in their order, the High Magus Obin Anvaras, betrayed them. Those that remain hunger for a chance to reknit time and erase the chaos heresy that brought the Legion to the Splinterlands.
Overview
The Temporal Master is part of the Life Splinter, which is one of the most expensive deck to rent if you want to go with the good Summoners, such as Lorna or the new Grandmaster Rathe. Unfortunately my pocket is not endless, so my option will be to rent only the General Sloan, which doesn't really have any synergy with the Magic attack monsters. 😏
The other option, which is not that cheap, but it proves to be more stronger is to rent a nice Dragon Summoner and mix their overpowered Dragons with the Life monsters. My budget option is to rent Quix the Devious who will unleash all of his Dragons to anyone trying to stop him. 😇
Stats and abilities
| Level | Ability | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Level.1 | Recharge | This Monster attacks every other round but does 3x damage. |
| Level.6 | Stun | When a Monster with Stun hits a target, it has a chance to stun the target causing it to skip its next turn. (Chance of activation is 50%.) |
The Temporal Master is a very bad creature stats wise and somehow he is an Epic card! 😱 He has only 1 Magic attack damage and even on Level 4 he receives only one extra attack on top of that. His Speed and Health is horrible as well and he need a lot of help from his fellow monsters to survive the battle. 😉
He has the Recharge ability from Level 1, which is very difficult to use, because he needs to survive almost two full rounds to attack once.
The Stun ability is a good ability in general, but this guy receives it on his maximum level only, which is too late for someone playing under the Diamond league. 😒
Market price for the Temporal Master
If you are going to burn and delete from the existence this life card, it will yield 100 DEC if it is a regular card and 2500 DEC if it was a gold card.
This card is an Epic card from the Chaos Legion set and the price of the regular card is quite alright compare to the skills of this card. One BCX of this card cost around 0,35 USD, so if you want a maximum level of this monster it will set you back with around 16,1 USD. 😁
The price of the regular Temporal Master is somewhat increased a bit in the last few days, but it looks like there is no hope for the Gold version as it is plummeting down continously. 😞
The upcoming Battle ruleset
| Ruleset | Description |
|---|---|
| Armored Up | All Monsters have 2 Armor in addition to their normal Armor stat. |
| Taking Sides | Neutral Monsters may not be used in battles. |
My lineup
 | Quix the Devious is not the strongest Dragon summoner, but he can do some really nice surprises to any opponent. His ability is to reduce the attack damage of all the Ranged creatures by one and also decrease their Speed as well. 😊 |
| The Djinn Chwala is a reward card, so it is quite easy (apart from the fact that he is an Epic card) to obtain from reward chests. He is still in print, so it is quite cheap as well on the market. He is an excellent tank, but only if they are not attacking with Magic damage. His most important ability is Thorn, which makes him to reflect 2 attack damage back to his Melee attackers. 😇 |  |
 | The Carnage Titan is one of the best Reach monster, which enables him to attack from the second position and he will do that twice in every round thanks to his Double Strike ability. The Shield makes him to withstand a lot of damage as a tank from Meleee or Ranged attacks. 😉 |
| The Djinn Renova is also an Epic Reward card liek the Chwala and such is quite cheap to rent or buy. She is quite powerful with her 3 Magic attack damage and the Triage ability is an essential ability to my backline once every round. 😎 |  |
 | The Pelacor Arbalest would be an amazing damage dealer if I would bring it with General Sloan (for the +1 Ranged damage buff) and not against Quix who removes his attack even more. He looks useless in this form damaging only one, but at least he is attacking twice in every round. 😁 |
| The Temporal Master is a quite weak monster and he need some proper protection from my team and summoner if I want to use his only ability (Recharge) in battle. |  |
 | I tried to give some time to my Temporal Master to recharge and attack in the second round by bringing Agor Longtail and the Djinn Renova to divert my oponent attacks from my squishy backline. Agor is a very strong creature as long as you have the mana and support to use him efficiently. 😊 |
The Battle
My opponent brought the same Summoner like me, but he mixed it with the Death Splinter. The mana cap was quite high, so either of us could bring some pretty strong monsters against each other. In the first round we wre just damaging each other, but in the second round my team managed to kill their Robo-Dragon Knight who was resurrected back by the new airdrop card of Oshuur Constantia immediately.
Luckily my Temporal Master finished up charging his attack and shooted in the back end of the Robo-Dragon Knight sending him back to the afterlife. 😂
My Agor Longtail was still standing in the third round, but my opponent lost their tank and the weaker monsters started to fell into the first position.
It was just a matter of time until all the weaker damage dealer and support monster would die and I could claim the win. 💪
Did your strategy work? What will you try differently next time?
Yes it is, because my plan was to divert most of the damage into my last creature and heal him as much as I can to give time to my team until I deal enough damage to get rid off their tank and defeat my opponent afterwards. 😇
Battle Result
Do you like the Temporal Master? Why or why not?
I still do not fond of the Temporal Master even though in two of my battles he was shining like a star and killing a lot of creatures from my opponent team. Still I feel that this monster is quite weak compare to his mana cost and rarity, because it is very easy to kill him on its own. 😏
