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 also impacts strategies like Discard, which rely on filling hands with cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effect can be neutralized by 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 card's effect can be quite 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.

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Moonstone and Anti-Venom, which can be substituted with Iron Lad if needed. Gorgon can be played on turn 5 alongside a 3-cost card, and his effect is particularly useful in game modes like Conquest where Arishem decks are common. The deck's win condition revolves around stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone or leveraging discounted Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
Laufey Deck
- Zabu
- Hazmat
- Scorpion
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Diamondback
- Red Guardian
- Laufey
- Malekith
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax

This deck is heavy on Series 5 cards, which are crucial for its effectiveness, except for Red Guardian, which can be replaced by Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The strategy is to dominate one lane with Ajax while using cards like US Agent and Diamondback to control another. Anti-Venom and Malekith enhance the deck's performance, especially in the presence of Luke Cage.
Uncle Ben Deck
- The Hood
- Uncle Ben
- Yondu
- Cable
- Iron Patriot
- Killmonger
- Baron Zemo
- Gladiator
- Shang-Chi
- Misery
- Lady Deathstrike
- Death

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery, with the latter two being essential. The goal is to disrupt your opponent's deck while discounting your Death card, retriggering effects with Misery, and countering with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike. Destroying Uncle Ben spawns Spider-Man, adding another layer of disruption.
