You're supposed to determine the target first, then roll to-hit. If your AC is high enough, it's quite likely that any hit on a Mirror Image would have missed you, which means the Mirror Image is wasted.Since a Bladesinger is probably boosting Int instead of Dex, Dex is unlikely to be over 16 and the Mirror Image's AC is probably no more than 13. If the Bladesinger has AC 19-20 (plus Shield), that means an orc with +5 to-hit will hit the wizard 10% of the time (35% without Shield), but will hit the Mirror Image 65% of the time. Much of the time, the Mirror Image isn't even saving you from any real hits before all the images are gone!Mirror Image would be useful against dragons and such to prevent those hits, except that dragons have blindsight and so are unaffected by it.It's a good spell on paper due to having no concentration requirement, but I've found it underwhelming in practice and not an attractive way to spend one's action, at least for characters who are already pretty tanky.</blockquote>
