How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, comes with an ability that states: "Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)". This makes Gorgon a formidable counter to Arishem decks, while also impacting strategies like Discard that rely on cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effect can be neutralized 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 the ability: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here." This card can be exceptionally powerful, especially with four cards in the same location, effectively boosting Laufey to 13 power. It's a stronger counterpart to Spider-Woman and can be synergized with Zabu for discounts, making it a great fit for decks alongside cards like Diamondback and Ajax.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben, a 1-cost, 2-power card, has the ability: "When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man." Spider-Man, in turn, is a 2-cost, 4-power card with the ability: "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.

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Moonstone and Anti-Venom, which can be swapped with Iron Lad if needed. Gorgon can be played on turn 5 alongside a 3-cost card, and while it may not always be impactful, it shines in game modes like Conquest against Arishem decks. The strategy revolves around stacking Ongoing effects or leveraging Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
For Laufey, the Toxic Ajax deck is straightforward:
- Zabu
- Hazmat
- Scorpion
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Diamondback
- Red Guardian
- Laufey
- Malekith
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax

This deck contains several Series 5 cards, which are mostly essential, except for Red Guardian, who can be replaced by Rocket Raccoon and Groot. Once Luke Cage's popularity wanes, this deck could become dominant, aiming to win one lane with Ajax while overpowering another with US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith provide additional value and card draw.
Uncle Ben, the least impactful of the trio, can be challenging to incorporate, but here's a potential deck:
- The Hood
- Uncle Ben
- Yondu
- Cable
- Iron Patriot
- Killmonger
- Baron Zemo
- Gladiator
- Shang-Chi
- Misery
- Lady Deathstrike
- Death

This deck features Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery, with the latter two being crucial. The strategy focuses on disrupting the opponent's deck while enhancing your own through Death and retriggering effects with Misery. Cards like Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike help in destroying Uncle Ben to spawn Spider-Man, adding another layer of disruption.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Grinding for these cards in the new Sanctum Showdown mode costs 1200 Charms per roll, totaling 3600 Charms for all three. Only Laufey seems worthwhile, especially for affliction decks. It's generally more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection, as this offers a better chance at acquiring impactful new cards.
And there you have it, the best decks for Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben in Marvel Snap.
