When Sprite Mother is played, if it is killed in response to its triggered effect, does the Sprite still come out?

Ruling: No, the Sprite does not come out if Sprite Mother is killed before the triggered effect resolves, because the effect specifies "here" which requires Sprite Mother to still be on the field.

Sequence:

• Sprite Mother is played and its triggered effect goes on the chain
• There is a window to react before the effect resolves
• If Sprite Mother is removed from the field during this window, the "here" clause fails and no Sprite is created

Nuances:

• The triggered effect can be responded to with Reaction timing
• The "here" text on the card is location-dependent and requires Sprite Mother to remain on the field for the effect to fully resolve
