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 directly counters Arishem decks, but its impact extends to strategies like Discard, which rely on cards like Swarm and Devil Dinosaur. However, Gorgon's effect can be neutralized by 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.”
With a potential to become a 13-power card in a location with four cards, Laufey offers a powerful effect. It's reminiscent of Spider-Woman but enhanced, especially when discounted by Zabu, making it a great fit 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, a 2-cost, 4-power card, has 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.

This Toxic Ajax deck is packed with Series 5 cards, but they are crucial for its effectiveness. The strategy involves winning one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith provide additional value, making this deck a strong contender once Luke Cage's dominance wanes.
Uncle Ben Deck:

- Uncle Ben
- Yondu

- Killmonger
- Baron Zemo
- Gladiator

- Misery

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery. The goal is to disrupt your opponent's strategy while discounting your own Death and leveraging the effects of The Hood and Yondu with Misery. Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike can destroy Uncle Ben, summoning Spider-Man to further disrupt your opponent.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
At 1200 Charms per roll in the new game mode, acquiring all three cards would cost 3600 Charms, which is quite substantial. Laufey is the standout card for affliction deck enthusiasts, but for most players, it might be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection.
