Doubling Season
Enchantment
If an effect would create one or more tokens under your control, it creates twice that many of those tokens instead.
If an effect would put one or more counters on a permanent you control, it puts twice that many of those counters on that permanent instead.







Icbrgr on Should I Keep Parallel Lives …

I am particularly excited for Elspeth, Storm Slayer and I was gonna try her in the 99 of my own Ghired, Conclave Exile deck.
I think so long as you dont really benefit from getting double counters I think the new Elspeth is the better option than Doubling Season... her 0 ability on it's own is kinda nuts.
DemonDragonJ on Should I Keep Parallel Lives …

I have copies of Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, and Mondrak, Glory Dominus in my Ghired, Conclave Exile EDH deck, but I am considering replacing parallel lives with another card, since I feel that it is simply too passive, rather than proactive, and the new Elspeth, Storm Slayer seems as if she would be amazing in that deck, so she is definitely one of my top candidates for replacing the enchantment, but I also believe that Rabble Rousing would be amazing in that deck, as well, since two cards that double the amount of tokens that I can generate are more than sufficient, so I now am uncertain about what to do, in this situation, so I would like to ask everyone else for advice.
What does everyone else say, about this? Which card, between Elspeth, Storm Slayer and Rabble Rousing, should replace Parallel Lives, or should I simply keep the existing enchantment in my deck? I certainly would appreciate your feedback, on this subject.

Some cards that may help counter doubling would be Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider and Doubling Season.
DemonDragonJ on Advice for a Green/White EDH …
2 months ago
I am planning to build a green/white EDH deck, with Sigarda, Host of Herons as the general, so I would like to ask for advice on constructing it.
Most decks that have the original Sigarda as the general tend to be either "Voltron" decks (i.e., making the general as powerful as possible) or "enchantress" decks (i.e., focusing on enchantments), so I would like to make my deck slightly different from the typical Sigarda deck; specifically, I plan for the deck to have three major themes: a focus on gaining life, but not quite to the extent of my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck; a focus on generating creature tokens, but not to the extent of my Ghired, Conclave Exile deck; and a focus on putting +1/+1 counters on creatures, but not to the extent of my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck; in other words, it shall be a "jack of all trades" deck, but with plenty of synergy and overlap between those themes. Sigarda does not directly contribute to any of those themes, but I chose her as the general, because she is very difficult to remove, once she is on the battlefield, and I feel that this type of creative and unusual deckbuilding is good and should be encouraged.
First, for gaining life, I am considering cards that make it easy to do so, such as True Conviction, Dazzling Angel, Archangel of Thune, Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, Sunscorch Regent, Oracle of Nectars, and Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, as well as cards that offer payoffs/rewards for gaining life, such as (again) Archangel of Thune, Lathiel, Trelesarra, moon dancer, Blossoming Bogbeast or Trudge Garden.
Second, for generating creature tokens, I am considering Vernal Sovereign, Aura Mutation, Trudge Garden (again), Selesnya Guildmage (possibly), or Scepter of Celebration, and, for cards that reward me for generating tokens, I am considering Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Dazzling Angel, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.
Third, for placing +1/+1 counters on creatures, I am considering Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Archangel of Thune, Juniper Order Ranger, Cathars' Crusade, Sunscorch Regent, Forgotten Ancient (possibly), and (possibly) Vigor, and, for cards that allow me to use those counters as payment for other effects, I am considering Fertilid, Mindless Automaton, (possibly) Ooze Flux.
Notice how many of those cards have synergy and overlap, allowing me to pursue three themes in a single deck, and I also plan to have a number of generically good cards that I use in many of my decks, such as True Conviction, Mirari's Wake, Seedborn Muse, or Sigarda, Font of Blessings, as well as several cards that I have not used in any of my previous decks, thus far, such as Hydra Broodmaster, Pledge of Loyalty, Camaraderie, Commander's Plate, Behemoth Sledge, Shield of the Oversoul, or Veteran Beastrider. I also am considering putting either Valkyrie Harbinger or Kalonian Hydra into this deck, but I do not wish for this deck to be too similar to any of my other decks, so I would prefer to avoid putting those cards into this deck, if I can avoid doing so, and I also am not yet certain about Doubling Season, staff of completion, or Selvala, Explorer Returned, since those cards would be awesome in this deck, but I do not wish to use them in every deck in which they would be a good addition.
What does everyone else say about this? Do you think that this is an interesting idea, and what suggestions can you make, for me? Thank you, very much, and I certainly am awaiting everyone’s responses!

Planeswalkers Perfected

The Aetherdrift set has dropped a really interesting new ramp piece in the form of The Aetherspark, an equipment artifact planeswalker that seems like it would be a huge enabler. As a baseline, it cannot be attacked as long as it's attached to a creature and provides that creature a new ability wherein any damage that creature inflicts adds that many loyalty counters to the Aetherspark. This can be a huge gain even after only one swing with Atraxa. But then we get into it's 3 abilities.
+1, We attach the Aetherspark to a target creature we control and give that creature a +1 counter. A proliferatable +1 counter. Obviously we like putting +1's on our flying lifelinking commander and there's a side benefit to be had in using this ability to spread more of these counters onto any of our creatures and tokens.
-5, draw two cards. Hardly a price at all if it's attached to Atraxa. After only a single swing, she adds enough loyalty to make this a neutral ability.
-10, Add 10 mana of any one color. This I believe is one of the biggest draws as a single use of this ultimate can massively shift the power dynamics of the board and it's not all together difficult to reach with only a single turn cycle even when Doubling Season isn't in play.
Imagine this as a turn five play after summoning Atraxa turn four. Use the +1 ability to attach it to Atraxa. Loyalty goes to 5 and Atraxa gains a +1 counter. She swings in for 5 damage and adds 5 loyalty to the Aetherspark which now sits at 10. On the end step, proliferate the +1 and the loyalty counters leaving Atraxa at 6 power and the Aetherspark at 11 loyalty. That's enough to pop the -10 ultimate on the very next turn and survive with 1 loyalty, providing a shot of 10 mana on turn six to start really playing out your hand.
Obviously not immune to artifact destruction but "Dies to removal" applies to most everything else and without it, Atraxa or whatever other creature it's attached to needs to be dealt with in order to be targeted with an attack making it decently harder to get rid of. I expect this equipment planeswalker to pull a great deal of weight and will be swapping out my Thaumatic Compass Flip for it.

The Sixth Doctor
3 months ago
Hey, just a heads up but you have a few things going on here that don't work within the rules like you want them to.
First off, your commander pairing actually doesn't work together. The Doctor explicitly states it triggers only once per turn so "triggers an additional time" effects like Clara Oswald and Roaming Throne won't cause the 6th Dr. to trigger again. You're after effects that copy his trigger or that copy his tokens after the fact. Twinning Staff, Strionic Resonator, Errant, Street Artist, and Esika's Chariot are all examples of the different things you CAN do in your colors that work with your Doctor. See my deck's description for more.
Second, Doubling Season and any other effects that care about a token being "created" won't trigger from the 6th Dr's. tokens. Rule 111.12 (see my deck's description, link below). Basically, a token that is the result of copying a permanent spell (6th Dr/Lithoform Engine's bottom ability) aren't "created" and won't trigger abilities like Doubling Season.
I personally run Peri Brown as my companion, but my deck should help with some great budget options even if you stay blue/green. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Dopplegangbangers - Historic Flash Convoke Copies

Slimes against opening hands [Casual/Jank]
4 months ago
Hey you're right, the surgical deck is very much all-in on slimes. (FYI surgical is like a $3 card now so don't let that hold you back!) Running 43 copies means there's not a whole lot of room for much else :) Altar of Dementia is an interesting rec which I hadn't thought about, but it would probably mean dumping a card like Doubling Season, which is tough because cards like that and Greater Good just vibe so hard with the slimes. Anyways it's not supposed to be the best golgari deck ever made, just the slimiest one :)
ArmchairRuler on How does Enchanter's Bane interact …
4 months ago
Will Enchanter's Bane allow me to deal more damage to an opponent if I have a card like Fiery Emancipation on the battlefield and I target their Doubling Season? With this interaction would I be able to have the opponent take 15 damage rather than 5 damage? The wording makes it seem like the Doubling Season would be the source of the damage so it seems like a long shot, but I am unsure of how the source of the damage is treated in this.
