How does Panharmonicon affect energy counters?
Asked by Spook9MM 5 years ago
With a Panharmonicon in play on my side, and I cast Aether Swooper, would that mean 4 energy counters instead of 2? Or are the energy counters only doubled by Doubling Season?
Panharmonicon doesn't quite work on "two types of abilities." Rather according to the rulings on the Gatherer:
9/20/2016: Panharmonicon affects an artifact or creature's own enters-the-battlefield triggered abilities as well as other triggered abilities that would trigger when an artifact or creature enters the battlefield. Such triggered abilities start with “when” or “whenever.”

You will get four energy counters. Panharmonicon works on two types of abilities:
"enter the battlefield" abilities, such as Aether Swooper.
Abilities of permanents you control that trigger when a different creature enters the battlefield, such as Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit.
Doubling Season does not double energy counters. Doubling Season only cares about counters placed "on a permanent you control." Energy counters are not placed on a permanent you control, so Doubling Season has no effect.
