Court of Garenbrig + Doubling Season
Hey gang! I run a +1/+1 counters deck and I have a question about an interaction between two of my keystone cards.
Court of Garenbrig makes me the monarch upon entry, and that's where the question in my pod arose. The first trigger distributes two +1/+1 coutners, then doubles all counters on a creature if I'm the monarch. I'm going to use Doubling Season as an example, but the question also applies to any other doublers I have in my deck.
Does Court of Garenbrig count as two separate triggers for Doubling Season, or is it all one?
The two +1/+1 counters are easy, those become four counters. Neat! But after that, does Doubling Season trigger on the Garenbrig doubling effect?
Using an example of a 1/1 lil guy. If CoG has one trigger:
Court of Garenbrig: 2 +1 counters
Doubling Season: 4 +1 counters
Monarch: Double the counters (4 doubles to 8)
Total: 8 +1/+1 counters, 9/9 Creature
But if Doubling Season sees the "...then double the number of coutners" as a separate thing which will also trigger Doubling Season:
Court of Garenbrig: 2 +1 counters
Doubling Season: 4 +1 counters
Monarch: Double the counters (4 doubles to 8)
Doubling Season: Double the counters again (8 doubles to 16)
Total: 16 +1/+1 counters, 17/17 Creature
As you can see, if "...then if you're the monarch, double the number of +1/+1 counters" is the questionable part here. Is that a separate instance of counters that would proc Doubling Season an additional time? What's the ruling on this?
Thanks!
