I was in a car accident and suffered serious brain damage and suddenly fell in love with this card.

One my favorite cards ever and it combos with about everything. I use to want one so bad back when Ravnica was out but I had to wait years later to final find buy it for my Mayael's Aria deck. It was one of the first expensive singles I had ever bought (back then I thought over $10 was expensive for a card). Yeah it was worth it and regret not buying more.

Everyone forgets the other reason this card is awesome: Wayne Reynolds.

@ WhiteWizard42 " Now just imagine that before doing this step, you played a Precursor Golem and a Xenograft (calling Golem). So the first Rite to resolve gives you 10,240 Doubling Seasons, then the next gives you 5* 2^10251 Doubling Seasons. The next makes 5 * 2^(5 * 2^10251 + 10,251) "
the number is 5.52229580797^16 in simplist form, and i agree, it is a almost incalculable number,

This card is ridiculously potent- the CC is the only thing keeping it in check.
It augments itself so well I don't see them allowing us 4 of them forever.
Then again, they unrestricted Berserk...
Whether it gets restricted or not,
I'll be very surprised if they reprint this outside of a From the Vault or Premium/Duel Deck release,
and the already-existing promo foil.

Combos with cards that put counters on your permanents and cards that put tokens onto the battlefield under your control.
This really needs a reprint, though not in a standard-legal set. Put it in a Commander/Planechase precon or something...
*edit* MODERN MASTERS REPRINT!!! :D

Oh yeah, and make the commander sets even more expensive. Sol Ring + Lightning Greaves in all of them was extremely generous as it was, and basically paid for the cost that Wizards originally set, but then you add in powerful creatures like Eternal Witness, Yavimaya Elder, Chaos Warp, and Flusterstorm. From that you get those stupid price spikes that Wizard's was trying to avoid because everyone who already plays EDH buys them as a basics toolbox.

I detest the notion that Doubling Season and cards like it such as Paradox Haze and Training Grounds "combo" with anything. On they're own they do literally nothing. The only purpose they serve is to make cards you're already playing better. You know, win-more.
Maybe in some cases that's not true with these cards, like using training grounds to lower activation costs to make an actual infinite combo. But if you're not doing that then Doulbing Season combos with tokens and counters as much as Giant Growth combos with an attacking creature.

Doubling season + Disciple of the Vault + Spawning pit + dross scorpion + gilded lotus = infinite damage.
1) Tap gilded lotus for 3 mana
2) Sacrifice any artifact creature besides dross golem.
a) Gilded lotus untaps so you may tap it again
b) Spawning pit gets 2 counters on it
3) tap gilded lotus for mana again
4) Remove 2 counters on spawning pit to put 2 creatures into play.
5) Sacrifice 1 of them to put 2 charge counters on spawning pit and untap gilded lotus.
6) repeat.
Things to remember: Tokens do hit the graveyard once before disappearing from existence. Every time you sacrifice a token your opponent takes 1 damage. Even without disciple of the vault, you still get infinite 2/2 creatures because every time you sacrifice 1, you get 2 and you only need to sacrifice one of those to get another 2 more out.
I hope that works aha
