Answer

No. To finalize the Emperor's Dais trigger you already have to 'pay 1 energy and return a unit you control here to its owner's hand'. There is no way you can order your triggers so that Tideturner is at Emperor's Dais before it's trigger finalizes.

Correction

Wrong ruling with the "new" rules for trigger costs.

No. To finalize the Emperor's Dais trigger you already have to 'pay 1 energy and return a unit you control here to its owner's hand'. There is no way you can order your triggers so that Tideturner is at Emperor's Dais before it's trigger finalizes.
