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 and impacts others like Discard, which rely on filling their hands with cards like Swarms, Iron Patriot rolls, and Devil Dinosaur lists. However, it can be negated 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 makes Laufey particularly powerful in locations with four cards, effectively boosting his power to 13. Laufey is similar to Spider-Woman but more versatile, especially when discounted by Zabu, allowing synergy 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, 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, offering an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

While these cards are "free," they aren't necessarily must-haves, except perhaps Laufey in affliction-style Ajax decks. Let's dive into deck strategies for each:
Gorgon Deck
Gorgon can be slotted into various decks, and here's a versatile one:
- 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

The Series 5 cards here are Moonstone and Anti-Venom, which can be replaced with Iron Lad if needed. This deck is great for game modes like Conquest, especially against Arishem decks, and benefits from Spectrum and Moonstone's effects.
Laufey Deck
Laufey fits well in the Toxic Ajax deck:
- 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 is heavy on Series 5 cards, but they are crucial for its effectiveness. It aims to win one lane with Ajax and dominate another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom synergizes well with Luke Cage, offering a free card advantage.
Uncle Ben Deck
Uncle Ben is the trickiest to fit into a deck, but here's a possible configuration:
- 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.]
This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery. The strategy revolves around disrupting your opponent's deck while discounting Death and retriggering effects like The Hood and Yondu, with Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike destroying Uncle Ben to summon Spider-Man.
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. Laufey is the standout card, particularly if you enjoy affliction decks. However, it might be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection's needs, as the number of cards you can pull is limited.
And those are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in *Marvel Snap*.
