A recent, subtle rules change in Magic: The Gathering concerning the interaction between Sagas and permanents entering the battlefield has significantly impacted the value of the card Doubling Season. Previously, Sagas only accumulated lore counters starting the turn after they entered play, delaying their chapter abilities.

This dramatically accelerates the activation of a Saga's powerful effects, making Doubling Season a much more potent enabler.
