This means ultimately that the Setup Phase consists of Casting, Discarding and Cycling Instant Spells while getting Creatures and other Spells in preparation for Chun-Li's arrival, some first little pokes at opponents and general protection of Chun-Li and your own board ready. Phase 1 is where Lifegain is the most crucial in this Deck, because without Chun-Li out, the entire Early Game you might be very open to Attacks and direct damage.

Enchantments have the benefit for Chun-Li that they only have to be payed for once and stay until Chun-Li bounces, is destroyed or gets exiled into the Command Zone, which is their biggest downside. Equipment has to be payed for twice, for playing and then equipping it, but other than Equipments it won't vanish if Chun-Li gets bounced, exiled or destroyed, unless the removal Spell played on her specifically says so.
