If you control a battlefield with a temporary sprite token and a hidden sprite token, when the temporary token dies at the start of your turn, can you react with the hidden token and still score a point for holding the battlefield?
Ruling: Yes, you score a point for holding the battlefield. The hidden unit being played resolves before the temporary unit actually dies, so you never lose control of the battlefield.
Sequence:
- Your turn begins
- Temporary keyword triggers (token would die)
- You can play the hidden token as a reaction to the Temporary keyword's triggered ability
- Hidden token resolves and enters the battlefield
- Temporary token dies
- You maintain control throughout and score the holding point
Nuances:
- Reactions can be played during the Beginning Phase if a chain is open (such as when the Temporary keyword's triggered ability goes on the chain)
