Title: 2 planes walker questions
Post by: Prplprince on August 05, 2014, 01:04:00 AM
1)   {Doubling Season} is on the field and I use +1 of {Liliana Vess} will I get 2 loyalty instead of one.

2)  {The Chain Veil} is activated after I use +1 of Liliana. I use it again do I gain an additional 2 loyalty?

So I would gain 4 loyalty total after this would all resolve

Doubling Season states that you get double counters if a spell or ability would place counters on a permanent you control.  When you activate a Loyalty ability, the counters are being added as the cost of the ability, not the effect.  You wont get 2 counters for activating the +1.  Subsequently, with The Chain Veil, you'll still only get 1 counter for the activation.

Do note, though, that {Gideon, Champion of Justice}'s +1 and {Ajani Steadfast}'s -2 add counters as part of the effect, so those will be doubled.

Resolved

Yes, you are still putting the counter(s) don it so doubling will still work.

Come on, Taysby, no guessing.

However, if Doubling Season is on the field when you play your planeswalker, it will start with double the starting loyalty counters.
