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

Navigating the ever-expanding universe of *Marvel Snap* cards can be a challenge, but fear not—*The Escapist* is here to guide you through the latest additions. Let's dive into the intricacies of Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben and explore the best decks featuring these characters.

How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap

Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, comes with the ability: "Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)". This makes Gorgon an excellent counter to decks like Arishem, as well as others that rely on cards not originally in the deck, such as Discard decks that utilize Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effect can be negated by cards like 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 can be incredibly powerful, especially when four cards are present in the same location, effectively turning Laufey into a 13-power card. It's similar to Spider-Woman but has the advantage of being discounted by Zabu, making it a great fit for decks featuring 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, in turn, 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, serving as an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Gorgon serves as a strategic counter, especially in game modes like Conquest where Arishem decks are common.

Zabu
Hazmat
Scorpion

This deck contains several 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 winning another with US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom complements Luke Cage, effectively giving you an additional card, and Malekith typically draws a beneficial card.

Uncle Ben Deck

Uncle Ben is the most challenging to incorporate effectively, but here’s a deck that tries:

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, discount your Death card, and leverage the effects of The Hood and Yondu with Misery. Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike can destroy Uncle Ben, spawning Spider-Man to further disrupt your opponent.

Acquiring these three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is quite steep. Laufey stands out as the most worthwhile if you're interested in affliction decks. However, it might be more strategic to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection's needs.
