With the constant influx of new cards in Marvel Snap, it can be challenging to keep up. Fortunately, The Escapist is here to break down the best decks featuring Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben, helping you navigate the latest additions to your collection.
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 also impacts Discard strategies that rely on cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effectiveness can be neutralized by Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards such as Rogue or Enchantress.
Laufey is a 4-cost, 5-power card with an ability that reads: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.”
Laufey's ability can turn it into a powerhouse, especially in a location with four cards, effectively making it a 13-power card. It's a more potent version of Spider-Woman and can be synergistically played with Zabu, Diamondback, and Ajax in affliction-style decks.
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 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.

Although these cards are "free," they aren't must-haves, with Laufey being a notable exception for affliction-style Ajax decks. Let's explore some deck options:

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Moonstone and Anti-Venom, which can be substituted with Iron Lad if needed. Gorgon fits well in various decks, particularly in game modes like Conquest where Arishem decks are prevalent. The primary win condition involves stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone or leveraging discounted Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.

This deck is heavily reliant on Series 5 cards, though Red Guardian can be swapped for Rocket Racoon and Groot. Once Luke Cage's popularity wanes, this deck could become highly effective, focusing on winning one lane with Ajax and dominating another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith add significant value to the deck.

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery, with the latter two being essential. The strategy focuses on disrupting your opponent's deck while discounting Death and retriggering card effects with Misery. Cards like Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike can trigger Uncle Ben's ability, summoning Spider-Man to further disrupt your opponent.
Acquiring all three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is quite substantial. Laufey stands out as the most valuable of the trio for affliction decks. If you're aiming to expand your collection, it might be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, considering the limited number of cards you can pull.
And those are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in Marvel Snap.
