They convert cards from outside their hand into board, so a race is usually better than a grind: your Sprites cost less than their engine does.

Conquer early and often. Every turn the game goes long is a turn their card advantage matters and your Temporary units do not.

Hold Defy for the spell that rebuilds their board rather than the first one they cast.

PreserveMournful Witness · Sprite Fountain · Keep the permanent bodies. In a long game they are the only units you have that are still there on the turn a hold would score.

Avoid · Do not spend Smoke Screen on a body they can replace. It is your only real removal and it is worth their best unit, not their cheapest.

Memory aids

Structural problem → the card that answers it. Each sideboard slot exists for a specific structural reason, not a general one.

56.1%Defy, which counters a spell costing no more than 4, so not Sprite Burst

51.2%Charm, which moves your conqueror off the point

48.8%Star-Crossed, which returns a Sprite to hand, where it stops existing

44.3%Zhonya’s Hourglass, which redirects a death you were counting on

20.7%Gust, which deletes any unit at 3 Might or less, which is every Sprite you make

20%Abandon, the counter with no cost cap, in more sampled lists than Defy

3 MightEvery Sprite, every time. The number the field’s cheap damage is priced at
