Shang-Chi wants a deck that keeps making its creatures bigger turn after turn. It also suits a deck that makes an army of small creatures and attacks with all of them.

If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a creature you control, twice that many +1/+1 counters are put on that creature instead.
Power-up — : Put three +1/+1 counters on Shang-Chi. (Activate each power-up ability only once. Reduce the cost by his mana cost if he entered this turn.)
Picked for what they do in Shang-Chi's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Shang-Chi'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 glossaryGPlayers write colors as letters: G for green.+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 pageCounter DoublerDoubles the counters being placed on your permanents: +1/+1, loyalty, charge, any kind. Counters here are the markers placed on cards, not counterspells. Doubling Season, Branching EvolutionOpen the Counter Doubler pageCounter ManipulationAdds, moves or multiplies counters already on permanents. It works on any kind (+1/+1, loyalty, charge), so the same card can serve very different decks. Karn's Bastion, Doubling SeasonOpen the Counter Manipulation pageToken DoublerCreates extra copies whenever you would make tokens: one trigger becomes two creatures, two Treasures, and so on. Doubling Season, Anointed ProcessionOpen the Token Doubler pageTokensToken decks fill the battlefield with small creatures made by their cards, then attack with all of them or make them all bigger at once. A token is a creature (or other object) that a card creates, not a card from your deck.Open the Tokens pageCounter EngineAdds +1/+1 counters over and over rather than once. 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 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
