Keeping up with the flood of new cards in *Marvel Snap* can be quite the challenge. Thankfully, The Escapist is here to guide you through the best ways to utilize Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben in your decks, ensuring you stay ahead of the game.
How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, comes with the ability: "Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)." This card serves as a potent counter to Arishem decks and also impacts strategies like Discard, which rely on filling hands with cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot rolls, and Devil Dinosaur lists. However, its effect can be neutralized by Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards such as Rogue or Enchantress.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey, priced at 4-cost with 5-power, boasts an ability that states: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here." With the potential to reach 13-power if four cards are present in an opposing location, Laufey's effect is reminiscent of Spider-Woman but enhanced. Its synergy with Zabu makes it a valuable addition to decks featuring Diamondback and Ajax.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben is a 1-cost, 2-power card with the unique ability: "When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man." Upon destruction, Uncle Ben transforms into Spider-Man, a 2-cost, 4-power card that moves to another location and pulls an enemy card along. This card synergizes well with Destroy enablers like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, functioning similarly to Bucky Barnes.
Best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben Decks in Marvel Snap
As these cards are freely available, they may not be essential powerhouses, but Laufey can be a game-changer in affliction-style Ajax decks. Let's explore how to integrate each card effectively:
For Gorgon, consider this versatile deck:
- Ant-Man
- Ravonna Renslayer

- Captain America
- Mystique
- Mister Fantastic
- Luke Cage
- Captain America

For Laufey, the Toxic Ajax deck is a straightforward choice:
- Zabu
- Hazmat
- Scorpion
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Diamondback
- Red Guardian
- Laufey
- Malekith
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax

For Uncle Ben, the deck-building is more challenging:
- The Hood
- Uncle Ben
- Yondu
- Cable
- Iron Patriot
- Killmonger
- Baron Zemo
- Gladiator
- Shang-Chi
- Misery
- Lady Deathstrike
- Death
Click here to copy this list from Untapped. This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery. The strategy revolves around disrupting your opponent’s deck, discounting Death, and leveraging the effects of The Hood and Yondu with Misery, while using Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike to destroy Uncle Ben and spawn Spider-Man for further disruption.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Obtaining these three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is a significant investment. Laufey is the most worthwhile, particularly for affliction decks. Instead of grinding for these specific cards, it may be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards to enhance your collection more broadly.
These are the optimal strategies for incorporating Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben into your *Marvel Snap* decks. With these tips, you can leverage their unique abilities to gain an edge in your gameplay.
