Best Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben Decks in Marvel Snap

Navigating the ever-expanding card roster in Marvel Snap can be daunting. This guide focuses on maximizing the potential of three recently added cards: Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben. We'll explore their mechanics and showcase effective deck builds.

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 decks relying heavily on generated cards, like Arishem decks and those utilizing strategies that add cards to the opponent's hand. However, cards like Mobius M. Mobius, Rogue, or Enchantress can negate Gorgon's effect.

How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap

Laufey, a 4-cost, 5-power card, boasts the ability: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” With four cards in the opposing location, Laufey effectively becomes a 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman, but potentially stronger due to Zabu synergy, enabling combinations 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 from cards like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, offering an alternative to Bucky Barnes.
