He is based on the peppermint (Mentha × piperita), a hybrid mint which is a cross between watermint and spearmint.
His name might be a reference to Doublemint, a brand of chewing gum which is manufactured by the Wrigley Company. It also alludes to his ability, as he can double his own stats.
His name and ability, as well as his description, could be a reference to the fact that mint is known for its rapid growth, and even overgrowing gardens when left untended.

Strategies[]
With[]
Doubled Mint appears to be a gimmicky plant, doubling his stats every turn. However, he isn't very viable for multiple reasons. His low stats (which on turn 2 is a bad tempo play) mean almost everything that can be played from turn 2 onwards such as Bungee Plumber and Rolling Stone can destroy him before he can deliver any impact. If his strength gets higher, then he will be susceptible to Rocket Science and Cut Down to Size.
He is weak to Deadly cards like Smelly Zombie and Barrel of Barrels, rendering his high health useless against them and losing the sun you used to boost Double Mint. He always needs to be played alongside other cards such as Umbrella Leaf, Force Field, and Fertilize, restricting your deck a lot. Finally, in the case you did managed to boost him, bouncing basically also wastes him as it causes you to lose all the resource you put into him and he takes too long to regain tempo for you.
Against[]
Doubled Mint's ability might seem like a huge threat but he's actually not much of an issue. His low stats for his cost mean Bungee Plumber, Dog Walker, and Rolling Stone can destroy him before he can boost himself.
He is vulnerable to being bounced and Deadly cards. If somehow you couldn't manage to destroy him early game, Rocket Science and Cut Down to Size can do so in spite of his monstrous stats.
If Doubled Mint’s is 2 or less, Hearty heroes can use Landscaper to prevent it from increasing at all, unless it is boosted.

Trivia[]
His card features Doubled Mint in his final stage.
However, Doubled Mint is shown in his first stage when his stats were shown.
Every time Doubled Mint activates his ability, he will grow leaves in an order.
He can double his stats all the way over 2,147,483,647 (232-1-1). If this happens, due to an internal integer overflow, his / (whichever that passed the number) will turn to -2,147,483,648 (-232-1) instantly, and in the case of health, gets destroyed immediately. This can be seen here.
Damage done to Doubled Mint isn't doubled at the start of the next turn. For example, if a newly-played Doubled Mint took 1 damage this turn (at the end of turn he would have 1/1) and has his stats doubled to 2/2 next turn, his health can only reach 3 if the player tries to heal him.
The sound effect used when Doubled Mint is played is also used when Iceberg Lettuce rapidly blinks.
Astrocado Pit's old description is very similar to Doubled Mint's description, except that the sentences are swapped and the word "just" has abandoned.
A puff of green smoke appears whenever he attacks.
