How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon (2-cost, 3-power) has the ability: “Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more (maximum 6).” This directly counters decks relying on generated cards, like Arishem, and impacts strategies that flood the board with cards drawn throughout the game. However, effects like Mobius M. Mobius or cards like Rogue and Enchantress can negate Gorgon's impact.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey (4-cost, 5-power) boasts the ability: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” With four cards in a location, Laufey effectively becomes a 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman, but potentially stronger due to Zabu synergy, enabling easier combinations with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben (1-cost, 2-power) has the ability: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.” This creates synergy with destroy effects from cards like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, offering an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

While not meta-defining, these cards can be effective in specific situations. Laufey, in particular, shines in certain decks.
Gorgon Deck:
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. (Copy this list from Untapped.)
Series 5 cards: Moonstone, Anti-Venom. Iron Lad is a suitable replacement for Anti-Venom. This deck focuses on stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone and utilizing discounted Iron Man and Mystique.
Laufey Deck (Toxic Ajax):
Zabu, Hazmat, Scorpion, U.S. Agent, Luke Cage, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Laufey, Malekith, Anti-Venom, Man-Thing, Ajax. (Copy this list from Untapped.)
Series 5 cards: U.S. Agent, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Malekith, Anti-Venom, Ajax. Red Guardian could be substituted with Rocket Raccoon and Groot (also Series 5). This deck aims for lane dominance with Ajax and supporting cards.
Uncle Ben Deck:
The Hood, Uncle Ben, Yondu, Cable, Iron Patriot, Killmonger, Baron Zemo, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Misery, Lady Deathstrike, Death. (Copy this list from Untapped.)
Series 5 cards: Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, Misery. Iron Patriot can be replaced with Red Guardian. This deck disrupts the opponent while utilizing synergies between destruction and card effects.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Acquiring all three cards requires 3600 Charms – a significant investment. Only Laufey offers notable value in specific deck archetypes. Consider prioritizing obtaining Series 4 and 5 cards instead, unless you specifically want a strong Toxic Ajax deck.
These are some of the best strategies for utilizing Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben in Marvel Snap.
