Spider-Gwen, Free Spirit

Gameplan

Spider-Gwen is a mono-red value engine: attack or tap her each turn to loot, smoothing draws and filling your graveyard for discard payoffs. You play a low, aggressive curve backed by repeatable card filtering, then close games with a wide board, burn, or big reanimated/madness threats. Repeatedly tapping and untapping her turns the loot into a grindy advantage rare for red.

Key Cards

• Sword of Fire and Ice — Protects her, adds evasion, and turns each connect into burn plus a real card draw on top of the loot.
• Thousand-Year Storm — Spell-heavy builds explode with looting fueling copy-laden burn and bounce chains.
• Squee, the Immortal — Endless discard fodder so every Spider-Gwen loot stays card-positive.
• Bedlam Reveler — Discarded and burn-fueled, it reloads your hand to pair with the looting engine.
• Faithless Looting — Cheap redundancy for the discard-to-draw theme and graveyard setup.
• Anger — Discarded to the yard, it grants your team haste for relentless aggression.

Upgrade Path

Add untap enablers like Thousand-Year Elixir, Intruder Alarm effects, or cheap equipment so you tap her every turn for extra loots, and lean into discard-positive engines (Squee, Anje's Ravager) to never lose cards. Upgrade interaction with premium burn removal (Abrade, Chaos Warp, Vandalblast) and ramp via fast mana (Sol Ring, Jeska's Will). To raise the ceiling, commit to a spellslinger or madness combo line so the looting directly assembles a kill rather than just smoothing draws.
