Yes, Soul Warden's ability is activated when a creature token enters the battlefield (or "comes into play"). For example, if your opponent has out a Soul Warden and you play a Seige-Gang Commander, your opponent gains four life.
This also applies to any other cards with abilities activated by creatures entering the battlefield, such as Hamletback Goliath.
When you copy a creature, the token takes the creature's mana cost, colour, printed effects and printed P/T. It does not copy any external effects, bonuses or penalties on that creature, nor anything it is enchanted or equipped with. So the creature tokens created by Followed Footsteps do not themselves come with another Followed Footsteps aura.
A creature that can be kicked will have either a Kicker cost or a Multikicker cost. These are additional costs, paid when the creature spell is cast. If you paid the kicker cost, when the spell resolves, the creature is considered to have been kicked, and will gain any applicable effects.
Ki counters are simply regular counters that most commonly apply to spirit or arcane cards. For example, a card may say: Whenever another spirit creature comes into play, put a ki counter on "this card", remove two ki counters from "this card" put a 1/1 spirit creature token into play. This is just one example, ki counters are mostly accumulated from spirit or arcane cards and have a variety of different effects.
Mark Rappaport - creature effects artist - was born in 1954.

Not if the spell or ability calls for you to target that permanent, shroud will prevent you targeting it, even if it's you own creature. However, effects that don't call for a target can get around this such as 'Choose a creature', 'Whenever a creature', 'Target player sacrifices a creature' or any effect which works én massé with the word 'all' such as Wrath of God. Examples: Graft, Wrath of God, Conspiracy, Overrun, Diabolic Edict These examples would all still affect a creature with shroud.
"fx" means "effects" as in what effects you want your layers to have. You can turn the effects on and off whenever you want.
If ever a creature's toughness is reduced to zero (or less), it will be destroyed as a state-based effect. If a 1/1 creature gets a -1/-1 counter, then effectively it has a toughness of zero, and will be destroyed. Edit: Note that a creature having 0 toughness is not a destroy effect. As per the state based actions, it will be put into its owner's graveyard. This does trigger "Dying" effects. This is an important distinction as having 0 toughness is one of the ways to get rid of indestructible creatures.
An 'attack' is what you do during the combat phase, you declare attackers by tapping them (or just declaring, if the creature has Vigilance) and these are now 'attacking monsters'.Tapping to use activated effects, even damage dealing ones, are not attackers, and the damage is not 'combat damage'.
Equipment cards are a bit like an artifact form of Auras. - You cast the artifact spell as normal, and it enters the battlefield when it resolves. - In your main phase, at a time when you can cast a sorcery, you can pay the Equip cost to Equip the Equipment to one of your creatures. That creature then gains all the listed bonuses and effects. This is a targeting ability, so a creature with Protection from Artifacts cannot be equipped, and if a creature gains this Protection while equipped, the equipment 'falls off' and becomes unequipped. - You can only target a creature you control. If the opponent takes control of your equipped creature, the equipment remains attached. However the equipment is still under your control, so you may pay the Equip cost to attach it to another of your creatures. - If an equipped creature is destroyed or leaves the field, the Equip card remains in play.
They will always count the modified Power/Toughness, including the bonus or penalty from any counters or other external effects like Auras or Enchantments. I don't think any card looks at only the printed P/T on a creature in the Battlefield.
