Ha! I saw the picture in the art spoils and I thought to myself: "..pitchfork equipment??" Nice!!
Kinda cool to see another Doubling Season..here's hoping it also costs 1/2 as much ($$) eh?
Expect it to cost quite a bit less. It's a rare in a new set (making it about twice as common as Doubling Seasons were). Plus 'season was never worth much while it was in standard, it's only really high because it's a sought-after casual and EDH card.

True, but I stand by my comment about Witchbane Orb being a format altering card in Modern. I can see it being a sideboard staple in that format, especially in Planeswalker heavy decks. Witchbane Orb and Elspeth, Knight Errant will be a house.

Oh, and as for Garruk, a Day of Judgment next turn wipes away all those tokens. In order to be a competitive combo deck, you want a more certain victory than that.
Ya because every deck has 4 DoJs mainboard and always has one in hand to cast by turn 5:rolleyes:. Most of the time it would be an win, and if you think they have it you can always play around it. Also an agro deck forcing there opponent to 1 for 1 with there DoJ is still pretty good.
A 40 dollar mythic rare would constitute a must have 4 of that goes in many decks.
Stats About Mythics
-Mythics are on average 40% rarer than pre-mythic rares
(old blocks about 200 rares, Mythic blocks 35+ mythics)
-They are printing more new cards a year not less
(about 665 now vs. 630 in most pre-mythic block)
-To drop the value of a rare by $1 a mythic must go up $2
-In a 3 year time span deck prices doubled. I am petitioning for the removal of mythic rarity. Sig this to join the cause.
The lives card works well with our favorite walker Garruk!!! Double the tokens very cool. Also the orb is pretty cool too if you can power it out early, becuase most of the best effects that you need hexproof from are early!!
I swear I first read it as Wingbonger...something tells me that "As Long as Wingbonger is paired with another creature, both creatures have weed." wouldn't be as good. Seems solid for limited.
I believe your army in fact be tripled every turn. Initial army + Endless Ranks Zombies + Parallel Lives' tokens = Profit??
Can't wait to see all the Zombie decks that run Green solely for this card. It's not a bad idea, either.
Endless Ranks makes tokens equal to half the number of your Zombies, so doubling half is the same as the number of Zombies you control (or one fewer, depending on the rounding breakpoint).
Doubling Season reprint? Please! I could see something in casual here, survive early turns with Fog and Angelsong while tutoring Season and Parallel with Enlightened Tutor. Then use Timely Reinforcements and friends…

The second is guaranteed as a T1 deck that is really good, plus its' mana is better. I would choose #2. However, Eminem is correct, comes down to preference. Eminem was not correct, however, for tying Rihanna to the bed and setting the house on fire.

Derp, you're right. I totally misread Endless Ranks, or forgot what its real effect was. Zombies won't be as awesome as I thought, then, but still pretty neat.
This is "fixed" in the sense that Doubling Season was created before planeswalkers and reacts very favorably with them (they all come in with double loyalty). As a result, it's been a huge casual card for a long time. With planeswalkers being massively important nowadays, it was time for an acceptable version.

On MTGO as Protoman.
On 7/14/10, broke 1900 mark! <3 ROE.
I like the new doubling season. I just hope it doesn't end up costing 25$ like the original. This is just wrong for a casual card... Might build around it if it's cheap.
Parallel Lives... WHYYY weren't you around during ROE?!?! Lots of fun stuff. People complaining about "omg winterorb shuts down red" need to STFU. Its an artifact which red has no problem blowing up. Leyline of Sanc saw some play but didnt stop red too much.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.

All four of these cards are interesting designs. Sharpened Pitchfork will have a home in one of my MANY future human tribal decks.

Doubling season was never really broken outside of casual formats. Where it is REALLY broken.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)

Hopefully the more limited functionality doesn't jack up the price, because I want a playset thereof.

2 Grave Titan Tokens with Haste
16 Zombie Tokens (if you attack with both other wise just 8)
That is better then the mythic sorcery and you can do it each turn for 3 mana ><
