When a temporary token (Sprite) is on a battlefield with a hidden unit (Teemo), and the temporary trigger happens at the start of turn, can you reveal the hidden unit before the token is removed to maintain control and score for holding?
Ruling: Yes, you can reveal the hidden unit before the temporary token is removed. The temporary trigger can be responded to, allowing you to reveal Teemo first, which then resolves before the Sprite token is discarded.
Sequence:
- Temporary trigger goes on the chain during beginning phase
- You have priority first and can respond by revealing Teemo
- Teemo (as permanent) goes on chain and resolves
- Teemo's WYPM trigger goes on chain
- After all pass, Sprite temporary trigger resolves and token goes to trash
- Teemo remains on battlefield and you score for holding
Nuances:
- If you had removed the token before revealing Teemo, you would lose control and Teemo would be discarded
- Teemo will not be readied during activation phase because temporary happens during beginning phase (after awake phase)
