Answer

Ruling: Yes, you can flip a hidden unit in response to the Temporary trigger to maintain a unit on the battlefield for scoring purposes.

Sequence:

  • Temporary triggers at the start of the beginning phase
  • The trigger goes onto the chain and gives priority
  • You can use reactions (like flipping a hidden unit) in response to this trigger
  • The Sprite dies when the Temporary trigger resolves
  • Your flipped unit remains on the battlefield for scoring

Nuances:

  • You are technically reacting to the Temporary effect activating, not to the Sprite dying itself
  • Reactions can be used whenever you have priority, regardless of game phase
  • The restriction on using cards during ABCD only applies to base speed actions, not reactions
  • Opponents can also react to the Temporary trigger
