Despite being the namesake of the deck, Death’s Shadow is not the only creature and you wouldn’t want it to be the only creature either. The remaining creatures that you can choose to run depend on the color combination of the deck, but they should be modern staples. Common creatures include Gurmag Angler, Snapcaster Mage, Tarmogoyf, Delver of Secrets/Insectile Aberration, and Ghor-Clan Rampager. Since this is a midrange deck, you can focus more on aggro or control which should give you a better idea of what you want. For a build that leans towards aggro you want Tarmogoyf and Ghor-Clan Rampager. For a more control focus, Snapcaster Mage and Delver of Secrets. Gurmag Angler can do well in either build. Between the cheap spells and fetch lands that go into your graveyard, it should ideally only cost 1 mana, sometimes 2 but, never more than that. Ghor-Clan Rampager is actually not going to be used a creature. If you do have to use it as such, you’re probably losing. You want to use the bloodrush mechanic to pump your Death’s Shadow.
