Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Doppelgangster notes.

  • The 'copies' summoned by this minion's Battlecry are in fact distinct uncollectible minions. However, they will copy the stats and enchantments of the Doppelgangster, and have the same base stats.
    • The two copies look identical, but are in fact separate cards in the game data, with different quotes (see below).
    • Whichever Doppelgangster is played (either the original card or one of the uncollectible cards), its Battlecry will summon copies of the two other versions, meaning all three versions will always be summoned.[1]
  • The two copies are summoned in sequence, first directly on the left of the original Doppelgangster, then secondly directly on the right.[2]
  • If the battlecry of Doppelgangster is copied onto another minion (such as The WitchwoodShudderwock), that minion will summon copies of itself rather than the other two Doppelgangsters.

Lore[]

While the Doppelgangster appears to be a simple dwarf, his Battlecry reveals a dark secret. Commanding a pair of n'raqi (faceless ones), the dwarf clearly has friends in some very low places, or possibly is one of the n'raqi himself. The latter notion is supported by his unusual appearance, namely his glowing orange eyes (while dark dwarves possess glowing red eyes, they also have dark gray skin, a trait not exhibited by the Doppelgangster).

Trivia[]

  • This minion's name is an obvious pun on "doppelgänger" and "gangster".
  • The Doppelgangster's flavor text is a reference to the Blackrock MountainGrim Patron's effect trigger quote.
  • The original Doppelgangster's attack quote is a reference to The Three Musketeers, appropriate given the number of the company and their choice of weapons.
