Early Infinite Gwenpool Surfer Deck Guide
I’ll keep the introduction short, played gwenpool to infinite on day one and played a number of infinite games with her.
This is what I found to be the best stuff and why:
- Forge: Brood + Forge = A lot of Points
- Shadow King: You need an answer to arishem, shadow king leverages blob into a weak point and isn’t accounted for in the arishem main deck. Also works for cards like thena or venom.
- Mysterio: Mysterio soaks gwenpool power at a rate of +2 becoming +6 power. Mysterio reduces mockingbird by 3 costs. Mysterio procs hope without commiting a whole card to the lane (only a space).
- Brood: Brood soak’s gwen powers well (+2 becomes +6) and brood is a good surfer target.
- Rogue: Steals dawkhawk for large power swings (Darkhawk and arishem), steals iron man (thena decks) for large swings, and there is just generally a number of good targets for rogue in this meta.
- Surfer: It’s a surfer deck +2 power to 3 costs which there are alot.
- Luke Cage: Defensive and combo card. Prevents shadow king decks from stealing games vs your handbuff AND allows you to run shadow king without killing your gameplan.
- Hope: Allows you to reach surfer curve breakpoints: (1) 6 energy on 5 for 2 3 drops, and (2) 8 energy on 6 for mockingbird + 2 3 drops (Play 3 drop on hope and mysterio clone)
- Shaw: Soaks Gwen well (+2 becomes +4_ and generally big with surfer.
- Nocturne: 3/5 that moves, can be played early, location control (generally good card)
- Gwen: Should be a 4/12+ most games and allows for delaying surfer power output.
- Mockingbird: 3/9 or 2/9 or 0/9 with mysterio / broods. Allows for breakpoint play with mysterio.
General Notes
I wish I could run absorbing man or grandmaster but they don’t feel best in slot under current conditions. Feel free to add them in.
This list is fluid and cards can come in and out as the meta game changes or new 3 drops release. Generally, shadow king, luke cage, rogue and nocturne are the ones subject to change with meta game shifts.

Playstyle
- Try to play hope or nocturne early.
- Try to keep mysterio, shaw and brood in hand if you have gwen.
- Don’t be afraid to play mysterio on 2 if you have mockingbird in hand and don’t have a good turn 3 play.
- Plan out your ENERGY. Don’t proc hope just for the sake of it target specific energy breakpoints depending on your play. You may forgo playing gwenpool onto hope for example if you plan on playing mysterio into the 8 energy breakpoint going into turn 6.
That’s all! I really appreciate it if you’ve made it this far. See you in the game!
