Sprite Call is a versatile blue spell that slots neatly into any Green control or tempo shell in Riftbound.
At three Energy, it isn’t the cheapest trick in your arsenal, but it offers unique board presence—especially pivotal in a format that rewards incremental advantages.
If you’re looking for a reliable way to pressure your opponent’s battlefield or refill a tapped-out position before a key swing, Sprite Call delivers.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
On resolution, Sprite Call generates a ready 3 Shield sprite token with Temporary—it’ll vanish at your next turn’s start phase, but not before it can block, chump, or even contest an opponent’s unit.
Hidden makes it a surprise reaction, planting defensively behind an active blocker or top-decking a surprise attacker on your turn.
Its true value lies in tempo: you can counter an unexpected threat or sneak in a point of damage before your opponent readies.
In Green decks that leverage evasion or damage-based triggers—think assault synergies or buffs—these sprites can soak up crucial removal or trigger assault bonuses, then vanish cleanly without clogging your board.
Visuals
Envar Studio’s art reinforces the card’s fleeting nature. Three translucent fox-like sprites burst from a rocky crevice, their forms glowing icy-blue against a shadowed cavern.
Their fluid shapes and upward motion suggest both emergence and imminent dissipation.
Tiny crystalline motes drift away from each sprite, foreshadowing their inevitable fading. It’s a scene of ephemeral beauty—powerful, yet destined to pass.

Sprite Call nails that sweet spot between defense and offense, offering a flexible tool that rarely underdelivers.
It may not steal games on its own, but in the right build it can be the quiet turn one pivot that wins the war.
