Does unhiding Sprite's Call as a defender trigger Viktor Innovator's passive ability?

Ruling: Playing Sprite's Call from hidden does trigger Viktor Innovator's ability to make a 1M recruit in base, but the sprite token created by Sprite's Call does not trigger the ability.

Nuances:

• Tokens are not cards; only main deck cards are cards for the purpose of any effect in the game
• Tokens are units for other purposes (like Gemcraft Seer)
• The hidden Sprite's Call itself is a spell card and counts for Viktor Innovator when played
