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 serves as a direct counter to Arishem decks, but it also impacts other strategies like Discard decks that utilize cards such as Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effectiveness 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 an ability that reads: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here."
This effect can be incredibly powerful, especially in locations with four cards, effectively turning Laufey into a 13-power card. It's similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced, as Laufey can be discounted by Zabu, making it easier to synergize 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.

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Moonstone and Anti-Venom, which can be replaced with Iron Lad if needed. This deck is versatile, with Gorgon fitting well into various strategies, particularly in game modes like Conquest where Arishem decks are common. The main win condition involves stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone or leveraging discounted Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
Laufey Deck:
- Zabu

- Scorpion
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Diamondback
- Red Guardian

This deck contains several Series 5 cards, including US Agent, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. While Red Guardian can be substituted with Rocket Raccoon and Groot, the others are essential for the deck's success. The strategy focuses on winning one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith provide additional value, especially in decks with Luke Cage.
Uncle Ben Deck:
- The Hood
- Uncle Ben
- Yondu
- Cable
- Iron Patriot
- Killmonger
- Baron Zemo
- Gladiator
- Shang-Chi
- Misery
- Lady Deathstrike
- Death

The Series 5 cards here are Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery, with the latter two being crucial. Iron Patriot can be swapped for Red Guardian. The goal is to disrupt your opponent's deck while discounting your Death, retriggering card effects with Misery, and countering with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike. Uncle Ben's destruction spawns Spider-Man, adding another layer of disruption.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Acquiring these three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is quite substantial. Of the three, Laufey is the most worthwhile if you're into affliction decks. It might be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection, as the chances of pulling multiple cards are limited.
And those are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in *Marvel Snap*.
