Shredder, Shadow Master is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Whenever Shredder attacks a player, for each other opponent, create a token that's a copy of Shredder tapped and attacking that player, except it isn't legendary. Sacrifice those tokens at end of combat. Whenever Shredder deals combat damage to a player, that player loses half their life, rounded up.
How it works : Shredder, Shadow Master
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The tokens don't copy whether Shredder is tapped or untapped, whether he has any counters on him or Auras attached to him, or any non-copy effects that have changed his types, color, and so on.

- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If Shredder leaves the battlefield before his last ability resolves, the tokens will still enter as a copy of Shredder, using Shredder's copiable values from when he was last on the battlefield.

- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Although the token copies created by Shredder's first ability enter attacking, they were never declared as attacking creatures. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when those tokens enter attacking.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
The token copies will have Shredder's abilities.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
In the unusual case where Shredder becomes a copy of something else while his last ability is on the stack but before it resolves, the tokens will enter as a copy of whatever Shredder is copying.
