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

If you're diving into Marvel Snap, keeping up with the ever-expanding roster of cards can feel overwhelming. Luckily, The Escapist is here to break it all down. Today, we’re focusing on three intriguing cards: Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben. Here’s how they work and the best decks to incorporate them into.

How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap

Gorgon is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ongoing effect: “Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (Maximum 6).” This makes him a formidable counter to Arishem decks and other strategies that rely heavily on non-deck cards, like Discard decks. However, his effect can be negated by Mobius M., Rogue, or Enchantress.

Example 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.

This deck is versatile and can adapt well to various scenarios. Gorgon shines in game modes like Conquest where Arishem decks are common. Combine him with Spectrum and Moonstone for added value.

How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap

Laufey is a 4-cost, 5-power card with an ability that says: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” With four opposing cards, Laufey effectively becomes a 13-power card—a solid choice for aggressive decks. He pairs well with Zabu, allowing him to synergize with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.

Example Deck:

Zabu, Hazmat, Scorpion, US Agent, Luke Cage, Diamondback, Laufey, Malekith, Anti-Venom, Man-Thing, Ajax.

This deck leans heavily into the Toxic Ajax strategy. It’s powerful but requires specific cards to function optimally. If you have the right pieces, this deck can dominate once Luke Cage loses its popularity.

How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap

Uncle Ben is a 1-cost, 2-power card with an ability: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.” Spider-Man 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.

Example Deck:

The Hood, Uncle Ben, Yondu, Cable, Iron Patriot, Killmonger, Baron Zemo, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Misery, Lady Deathstrike, Death.

This deck aims to disrupt your opponent’s strategy while maintaining control over your own. Misery triggers Hood and Yondu’s effects repeatedly, while Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike add layers of complexity.

Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?

Rolling for these cards in Sanctum Showdown costs 1200 Charms each, totaling 3600 Charms. Among the three, Laufey stands out due to his synergy with affliction-style decks. However, grinding specifically for these cards might not be worth it unless you’re passionate about certain playstyles. Consider focusing on Series 4 and 5 cards based on your current collection instead.

That’s a wrap on the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in Marvel Snap. Happy snapping!
