This card seems good. I love the flavor. Mardu zombies anyone?
I'm guessing that since Neheb is now mono red, we'll see a mono blue Temmet and a mono black Hapatra.
An interesting theory. Can Temmet play with Eternalize since he is presumably already a Mummy? And in what way would Hapatra change?

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

So far, from what I can tell, Worthy makes Eternal better with +2/+0 and first strike. Eternal makes Worthy better by providing more mana in order to cast more minotaurs.
So if we try to apply the same logic here, Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun would make Temmet better in some manner. If the second can eternalize that means it leaves a token, which is a 4/4 that can be buffed into an unblockable 5/5. But it would also need to do something else that is very worthwhile. Perhaps the Temmet also interacts with loss of life and also during the post-combat main phase it might mill or bounce permanents equal to the life lost.
I think Hapatra could end up being some sort of zombie cleric with a stat boost and deathtouch along with some other ability. If Temmet shows up again, he could be a zombie that eternalizes other creatures. Of course this is all speculation. I did notice that on the original card, Neheb, the Worthy, the word worthy could have been foreshadowing his ascension to a new station as a general of sorts.
I think that of all the viziers, however, Temmet and Hapatra were the only legendary ones. Given Wizards design team it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them both again.
I don't think we'll see Temnet or Hapatra as eternals. To become an eternal one must become worthy and the worthy take 7 and die to Hazoret rather than taking office jobs.

"Your postcombat mainphase". Does that refer to every postcombat mainphase, or only "second main"?
///
This is a good question. The wording is not very accurate.
Every main phase that is not your precombat main phase is a postcombat main phase. If you have 7 main phases in a turn, the first will be your precombat main phase and the other 6 will all be postcombat main phases.
505.1a Only the first main phase of the turn is a precombat main phase. All other main phases are postcombat main phases. This includes the second main phase of a turn in which the combat phase has been skipped. It is also true of a turn in which an effect has caused an additional combat phase and an additional main phase to be created.
I Like that i can get full value off Insult//injury with Neheb. Cast Insult pre combat, attack for at least 6 damage and then cast injury for 4 more damage at least on oponent's face. 10 damage in one turn with 2 cards and u would have at least 5 more mana to do whatever u want. This looks like a idea for an "against the odds" episode kkkk lets hope mtg goldfish' YouTube channel do this
