Information

This probably needs more testing, but what I can i say? I played a couple games, won, and got excited about the idea.

Vargo is a great weapon carrier due to his ability, so Doorknocker and Plate is a deadly combo and both decent to good on their own. Harsh ruling with Vargo on the field is fun and crushing for you opponent. Giving him endurance through Korovyat Palace breaks off permafrosts and gives him +4/+4 and aegis (to protect from Equivocate/Teleport) and/or berserk. Kaleb's choice protects him from Runehammer. If you see more equivocate, you could swap Choice with Unseal, though obviously only one set of smugglers can fetch it.

Doorknocker is nice because it can be played after a harsh rule to still threaten the board and it can be fetched along with runehammers or plate with Display of Honor or reforge to have a cute 3/5 DD Helpful Doorbot. Svetya it great at stalling their interaction when she comes out, so she is also safe for a turn to put weapons on. I finished one game with her with plate, doorknocker, and pumped by Display of Honor to deal 28 overwhelm damage for lethal.

Fun deck and fun new card. Hope you enjoy!

I know the "real" build of this deck is all the rage right now, but I absolutely love this version. Doorknocker can really catch people off guard and I've had some absolutely crazy game-ending swings with it. Just recently I was playing a game where I was facing down a board full of flyers, had two permastunned Smugglers and was in really deep trouble. It was so bad that I had no choice but to play a Palace out naked just for the Wisdom of the Elders, which got me a Harsh Rule for the next turn. Then they let the Palace live to put me down to 3 life. The next turn I gave one of the Skycrag Smugglers the +4/+4 and Aegis, which popped the freeze and let me swing for 6 damage before Harsh Rule. Then I played out a 1/3 Doorknocker onto the board. They played a 5/6 flyer, which would have killed me except I gave the Helpful Doorbot Berserk with the final Palace agenda item and then slapped Plate on it, and even with the chump block I still double swung for lethal. It might have been the most ridiculous comeback I've ever had in this game.

Thanks for giving me the joy of a Helpful Doorbot OTK. :-)

My pleasure! I've had some similar games and it's always been a blast.
