How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ability: “Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more (maximum 6).” This directly counters Arishem decks and impacts strategies relying on added cards like Discard decks. However, effects like Mobius M. Mobius or cards like Rogue/Enchantress can negate Gorgon's ability.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey, a 4-cost, 5-power card, has the ability: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” With four cards in a location, Laufey becomes a potent 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman but potentially stronger, Zabu can discount Laufey, synergizing well with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben is a 1-cost, 2-power card with the ability: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.” This creates synergy with Destroy effects (Carnage, Venom, Lady Deathstrike), acting as a unique alternative to Bucky Barnes.

While not game-changers, these cards offer strategic value. Laufey, in particular, shines in affliction-style Ajax 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)
This deck utilizes Ongoing effects with Moonstone, aiming for discounted Iron Man and Mystique plays. Gorgon provides a solid mid-game addition, especially effective against Arishem-heavy strategies. Moonstone and Anti-Venom are Series 5 cards; Iron Lad can substitute for Anti-Venom.
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)
This deck heavily relies on Series 5 cards (U.S. Agent, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Malekith, Anti-Venom, Ajax). The strategy focuses on securing one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like U.S. Agent and Diamondback. Red Guardian can be substituted with Rocket Raccoon and Groot (also Series 5).
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)
This deck aims to disrupt the opponent while leveraging card destruction and respawns. Series 5 cards (Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, Misery) are key components. Iron Patriot could be swapped for Red Guardian.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Acquiring all three cards requires 3600 Charms—a significant investment. Laufey offers the most immediate impact in specific deck archetypes. Consider whether your existing collection and playstyle benefit from these cards before committing such a large Charm investment. Investing in Series 4 and 5 cards via the Sanctum Showdown might yield better overall value depending on your collection.
