In a game I am playing, I have Doubling Season in play and then played Garruk, Primal Hunter. It came into play with six counters. However, when I activated the first ability, it only gained one additional counter. Should it have gained two instead?

Nope. ETB effects are doubled, but Costs are not effects.

One of my responsibilities on these forums seems to be exposing my lack of insight on how things work, :? and allowing others to clearly demonstrate their knowledge of the way things really are. :D

Would it make you feel better if I told you that I haven't collected paper magic since 2001, and have only played in 3 prereleases in the last 10 years?

This takes selflessness and bravery, amigo - it's thoroughly underrated and very necessary. A well-earned thanks for your contributions to that end.

Edit (Wasn't trying to sound condescending, what I meant was that without people expressing their confusion, problems wouldn't get fixed.) :)
