Top Decks for Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben in Marvel Snap

With the influx of new cards in *Marvel Snap*, keeping up can feel like a daunting task. But fear not, as The Escapist is here to guide you through the latest additions: Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben. Let's dive into the best decks featuring these cards and see if they're worth the grind in the new Sanctum Showdown mode.

How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap

Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, has an ability that reads: “Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)”. This makes Gorgon an effective counter to Arishem decks, as well as other strategies like Discard decks that rely on cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, his effect can be nullified by Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards like Rogue or Enchantress.

How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap

Laufey, a 4-cost, 5-power card, comes with an ability: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” This can turn Laufey into a formidable 13-power card in a location with four cards. Similar to Spider-Woman, Laufey can be discounted by Zabu, enhancing its synergy with cards like Diamondback and Ajax, making it a valuable addition to affliction-style decks.

How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap

Uncle Ben, a 1-cost, 2-power card, has an intriguing ability: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.” Spider-Man, a 2-cost, 4-power card, has 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, offering a unique alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Uncle Ben's destruction spawns Spider-Man, adding another layer of disruption.
