How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap

Gorgon is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: “Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)”

This card is a direct counter to Arishem decks, but its reach extends to other strategies like Discard decks, which rely on filling their hands with cards like Swarms, Iron Patriot rolls, and Devil Dinosaur lists. However, the latter is less common. Gorgon’s effect can be negated by cards like Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards such as Rogue or Enchantress.

How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap

Laufey is a 4-cost, 5-power card with an ability that reads: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.”

This effect can be incredibly powerful, especially with four cards in the opposing location, effectively turning Laufey into a 13-power card. It's akin to Spider-Woman but potentially more impactful, as Laufey can be discounted by Zabu, enhancing its synergy with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.

How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap

Uncle Ben is a 1-cost, 2-power card with an ability that reads: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.”

Spider-Man, in turn, is a 2-cost, 4-power card with an ability that reads: “On Reveal: Move to another location and pull an enemy card from here to there.”

Uncle Ben synergizes well with Destroy enablers like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, functioning similarly to Bucky Barnes.

Gorgon Deck:

• Ant-Man
• Ravonna Renslayer

• Captain America
• Mystique

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Moonstone and Anti-Venom, which can be substituted with Iron Lad if needed. Gorgon can be played on turn 5 alongside a 3-cost card, and while he may not always have an immediate impact, he can disrupt Arishem decks and benefit from Spectrum and Moonstone's buffs. The primary win condition is stacking Ongoing effects or discounting Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.

Laufey Deck:

• Zabu
• Hazmat
• Scorpion
• US Agent
• Luke Cage
• Diamondback
• Red Guardian
• Laufey
• Malekith
• Anti-Venom
• Man-Thing
• Ajax

This deck is heavy on Series 5 cards, making it challenging to assemble without significant investment. However, it can be highly effective once Luke Cage's popularity wanes. The goal is to win one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith add significant value, with the former providing a free card and the latter drawing powerful cards outside of Zabu's influence.

Uncle Ben Deck:

• The Hood
• Uncle Ben
• Yondu
• Cable
• Iron Patriot
• Killmonger
• Baron Zemo
• Gladiator
• Shang-Chi
• Misery
• Lady Deathstrike
• Death

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery. The aim is to disrupt your opponent's deck while discounting your own Death, retriggering card effects with Misery, and countering with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike. Both Killmonger and Deathstrike can destroy Uncle Ben, spawning a Spider-Man that can further complicate your opponent's strategy.

Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?

Rolling for one of these cards in the new game mode costs 1200 Charms, totaling 3600 Charms for all three. Given the cost, the only card truly worth the grind is Laufey, especially if you're interested in affliction decks. It might be wiser to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your current collection, as this approach can yield more varied and impactful additions to your deck.

These are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you choose to incorporate these cards into your strategy or not, understanding their potential can give you an edge in your next game.
