Can a hidden Tideturner be activated during the beginning step to react to a Sprite token's Temporary trigger in order to score a point for holding a battlefield?
Ruling: Yes, you can activate a hidden Tideturner during your beginning step by chaining it to the Sprite token's Temporary trigger to score the point for holding the battlefield.
Sequence:
- During beginning step, the Sprite token's Temporary ability triggers
- The hidden Tideturner can be activated in reaction to this trigger
- This allows scoring the point for holding before the Sprite is removed
Nuances:
- Hiding a card is not the same as playing a card
- Temporary is a triggered ability that can be reacted to
