Title: doubling
Post by: Avodroc13 on May 30, 2015, 07:08:00 PM
{Primordial Hydra} + {Corpsejack Menace} on the field.

The hydra has eight counters on it. At the beginning of my upkeep do I put 16 counters on it, making it a 24/24 because of {Corpsejack Menace}? Then next upkeep it gets 48 counters making it 72/72?

So,
Starts at 8...
upkeep 1 = +16 counters
upkeep 2 = +48 counters
upkeep 3 = +216 counters
...etc.

Is this legit or am I over-reading it's ability?

Nope, you're correct.

It's the same as having multiple {doubling seasons}. It gets doubled for every one you have.

Wouldn't it do

8
Double then double again to
32
Double double
128

is it addative or multiplative?

I wouldn't think so.
8
It would add 8 more and that 8 would double so it'd be 16. So 16 + 8 would be 24.
Then there's 24 which would double but the 24 would double before it's added to the creature. So it'd be 48 + 24 and be 72.

Just to clarify:

Your Hydra says "I wanna put 8 counters on myself"
Corpsejack says "Cool, have 16 instead."
So you add 16 and it basically triples the number on there.

If you have two effects, it goes...
Your Hydra says "I wanna put 8 counters on myself"
Corpsejack says "Cool, have 16 instead."
Doubling season says "Well, you want 16?  Have 32."
Thus quintupling the counters instead of doubling or tripling.

Basically, you apply the effects one at a time and count the total as you go and add that many.

You always have a way of explaining things to where they make sense. +1 Remillo. :) Thank you.
