If I control Zilean and Leblanc legend and I copy to make a reflection copy of Zilean, how many Zilean will I make, 2 or 1 and a reflection token?
You get 2 Reflection tokens, both of which become copies of Zilean. So you end up with your original Zilean plus two copy-Zileans — 3 total units with Zilean's stats and text.
Here's how it works (per official FAQ #9917):
- You conquer/hold, exhaust Deceiver, discard 1, and the ability resolves.
- It tells you to play one Reflection token — but Zilean's replacement effect kicks in, changing that to "play that token and an additional copy."
- Two Reflection tokens enter the battlefield ready.
- The Deceiver's reflexive trigger then resolves, making both tokens become copies of Zilean (and giving them Temporary).
No infinite loop — after the two tokens enter and become copies, there's no new "play a token" event for them to replace, so the chain stops there.
