How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon is a versatile 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that states: "Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)" This card is a strategic counter to Arishem decks, as well as other decks that rely on cards not originally in the deck, such as Discard strategies featuring Swarm, Iron Patriot, and occasionally Devil Dinosaur. However, its impact can be mitigated by cards like Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards such as Rogue or Enchantress.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey is a formidable 4-cost, 5-power card with the ability: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here." In scenarios with four cards in an opposing location, Laufey can effectively become a 13-power card, offering a powerful effect similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced by potential discounts from Zabu. This makes Laufey an excellent fit for decks that synergize with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben is a 1-cost, 2-power card with a unique ability: "When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man." Spider-Man, in turn, is a 2-cost, 4-power card that moves to another location upon reveal, pulling an enemy card along. Uncle Ben synergizes well with Destroy enablers like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, functioning similarly to Bucky Barnes but with a different payoff.

While these cards are not necessarily game-changers, Laufey stands out as a valuable addition to certain deck types. Let's explore how to incorporate Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben into your decks:
Gorgon Deck
Gorgon can be slotted into various decks, making it a flexible choice. Here’s a suggested deck:
- Ant-Man
- Ravonna Renslayer
- Gorgon
- Sam Wilson
- Captain America
- Mystique
- Mister Fantastic
- Luke Cage
- Captain America
- Moonstone
- Anti-Venom (Or Iron Lad)
- Iron Man
- Spectrum

This deck leverages Gorgon's ability to disrupt opponents' strategies, particularly in game modes like Conquest, where Arishem decks are prevalent. The main win condition focuses on stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone or leveraging discounted cards like Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
Laufey Deck
Laufey fits well into the Toxic Ajax deck, which is straightforward but potent:
- Zabu
- Hazmat
- Scorpion
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Diamondback
- Red Guardian
- Laufey
- Malekith
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax
Click here to copy this list from Untapped. This deck includes several Series 5 cards, which are essential for its effectiveness, with the exception of Red Guardian, which can be replaced by Rocket Raccoon and Groot (also Series 5). The strategy involves winning one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom complements Luke Cage, and Malekith often draws strong cards outside of Zabu, making this deck particularly challenging once Luke Cage's popularity wanes.
Uncle Ben Deck
Uncle Ben is the least impactful of the three cards and can be challenging to integrate effectively. Here’s a suggested deck:
- 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. The Series 5 cards in this deck include Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery, with the latter two being essential. Iron Patriot can be swapped for Red Guardian if necessary. The goal is to disrupt the opponent’s deck while discounting your Death card, utilizing the effects of The Hood and Yondu with Misery, and countering with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike. These cards also destroy Uncle Ben, spawning Spider-Man to further disrupt your opponent.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Rolling for one of these three cards in the new game mode costs 1200 Charms, meaning it would take 3600 Charms to acquire all three. Laufey is the most worthwhile if you enjoy affliction decks. However, it might be more efficient to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection, as you won't have as many opportunities to pull these cards.
And those are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you're looking to disrupt your opponent's strategy or enhance your own, these cards offer unique opportunities to elevate your gameplay.
