Mockingbird wants a deck that hurts its own creatures on purpose to set off their abilities. It also suits a deck that keeps making its creatures bigger turn after turn.

Whenever Mockingbird is dealt damage, put a +1/+1 counter on her. (She must survive the damage to get the counter.)
Picked for what they do in Mockingbird's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Mockingbird's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Open the full glossary
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryWPlayers write colors as letters: W for white.EnrageEnrage decks use creatures that do something every time they are dealt damage, then damage them on purpose to set it off. A card that damages every creature can set off all of them at once.Open the Enrage pageEnrageTriggers when this creature is dealt damage, so hurting it hands you something instead. It turns blocking and burn spells into a decision your opponents would rather not have to make. Some of these were printed under the ability word Enrage; this tag covers the whole family, named or not.

A counter here is a small permanent marker that raises a creature's power and toughness for good. It is not a counterspell, which is a different thing entirely. Something that adds them every turn makes your whole board bigger and keeps it that way. Hardened Scales, Corpsejack MenaceOpen the Counter Engine page+1/+1 Counters+1/+1 counter decks put small markers on their creatures that make each one permanently bigger, and keep adding more every turn. Each +1/+1 counter adds one to a creature's power (the damage it deals) and toughness (the damage it can take).Open the +1/+1 Counters page+1/+1 CountersPuts +1/+1 counters on creatures, permanently raising their power and toughness. Unlike a temporary boost that wears off at end of turn, these markers stay put and stack up over a long game. Hardened Scales, The Great HengeOpen the +1/+1 Counters page
