I hate this card. Not because it's an awesome card; not because it's effect is lame or something i don't like; no. The only reason I hate this card is that every nub on this site posts Doubling season as part of a combo thinking that it somehow enhances the combo or is an original thought.
here's a hint. EVERY TOKEN OR COUNTER STYLE CARD CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS. Done. That's the only post we need about it. Besides, if you need doubling season to pull off your combo, you may as well say you need baneslayers or jace's to do it. It's pretty much the same idea. It's an awesome card, and combos are only awesome because it's an awesome card. There's no creativity in taking an awesome card and saying "hey this plus some mediocre card makes that card good!"
Further, by the time you cast this (turn 3-4) you may have wasted precious time. An excellent card no doubt, but people need to leave it on the shelf now and then and realize that despite being awesome it doesn't belong in every counter and... (see all)

The card is admittedly powerful, but I hate its popularity as a fake-Johnny outlet. Anyone with a token/counter deck throws this in and thinks they're the master of synergy.
In short, I find the card too linear.

Wow. Lol. Would be fun in a modular deck :O and that's not even the half of the possibilities, so i've read!

has potential but really you need at least 1/2 of your nonland cards to produce tokens or counters for it to be worth it. people have a tendency to put this in any deck using tokens/counters which generally is fail. decent card, great johnny/timmy potential, somewhat efficient.

5cc chantment that lets you pull off subpar combos that are horribly vulnerable to any form of removable!
Sounds good!

This is probably the most referenced card in history. It does nothing on its own, just makes your win more cards win more
We get that it "combos" with _______________. I automatically rate any obscene doubling season references .5/5 stars.

Sorry. But this doesn't work. Opalescence says "Each other Worldly Enchantment", and I think that means things like Bad Moon or Goblin King where it hits the ENTIRE field. Doubling Season only works for the controlling player.
