I don't like it.
I think the
is too powerful, far too much defense for a single card to give.
And I don't think there should be any way to play a master card as a minion card, either thematically or for game balance reasons.
The first way I can think of to abuse it is to Villein a vampire that's been Mind Raped, I'm sure I can think of others if I give it more than a few seconds thought.

inferior temporis is WAAAY to strong. A Trujah that used summon history to fetch ankara can easily make 4 actions per turn with free freak drives. With sup. version, he can play ashur tablets, and keep table frozen nearly entire game.
It's like una again, only MORE boring (if that is even possible)

It only works against a deck with more than 4 minions, or someone abusing some untap. I'm not sure it's that frequent.I don't like it.

What about changing it to master: location only?And I don't think there should be any way to play a master card as a minion card, either thematically or for game balance reasons.

Maybe it's a meta thing. I'd say probably 50% of other players' decks around here frequently try to do more actions a turn than that, closer to 75% of my own decks. And when you say "abusing", I think you mean simply "using".It only works against a deck with more than 4 minions, or someone abusing some untap. I'm not sure it's that frequent.
That would certainly limit it's capacity for abuse.What about changing it to master: location only?

I mean, if your predator has already taken 4 actions, but need more to do you something, it's likely a swarm deck or an Una deck. Anyway, stopping him one turn doesn't seem abusive.

Could you explain why you find it gives " far too much defense for a single card ".
