If you make a mirror image of a card as Leblanc and then conquer Emperor's Dais, can you put the copy to your hand?
verifiedYes — you can target the Reflection copy with Emperor's Dais's trigger, but it won't actually stay in your hand.
Tokens can't exist outside the board: the Reflection moves to your hand and immediately ceases to exist (Rule 186.1). So you pay [1], "return" the copy, it vanishes, and the Sand Soldier token still plays because the "If you do" condition was met.
For sequencing between Leblanc Legend and Emperor's Dais conquer triggers: both the Deceiver trigger and Emperor's Dais's conquer trigger go on the chain together. For Emperor's Dais, the 1 energy and bouncing the unit are a Cost Within Instruction (CWI). These have to be paid for the trigger to be placed on the chain. So you can NOT order them to first make a reflection token and then bounce it back to hand, since the token will only exist on resolution of the Deciever trigger but has to be bounced on finalization of the Dais trigger.
