Navigating the ever-expanding universe of *Marvel Snap* can be a challenge with the influx of new cards, but The Escapist is here to guide you through the latest additions. Let's dive into the strategies and decks featuring Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben.
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, impacting strategies like Discard that utilize cards such as Swarms, Iron Patriot rolls, and Devil Dinosaur lists. However, its effectiveness can be neutralized by cards like 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."
This card's potential is maximized in locations with multiple cards, effectively boosting Laufey to a 13-power card under optimal conditions. It's similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced, as Laufey can be discounted by Zabu, making it a perfect fit in decks with Diamondback and Ajax.
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 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, offering a strategic alternative to Bucky Barnes.
While these cards are not considered must-haves, Laufey shines in affliction-style Ajax decks. Let's explore how to integrate them into your gameplay:
Gorgon Deck:

This deck features Series 5 cards like Moonstone and Anti-Venom, but you can swap Anti-Venom for Iron Lad if needed. Gorgon can be a versatile addition, especially in game modes like Conquest where Arishem decks are prevalent. The deck's win condition revolves around stacking Ongoing effects or leveraging discounted cards like Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
Laufey Deck:

This deck is heavy on Series 5 cards, but they are crucial for its success. The strategy focuses on winning one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith enhance the deck's effectiveness, particularly when paired with Luke Cage.
Uncle Ben Deck:

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery. The goal is to disrupt your opponent's strategy while discounting your Death card and retriggering effects with Misery. Uncle Ben's destruction can spawn Spider-Man, adding another layer of disruption.
Grinding for these cards in the new game mode costs 1200 Charms each, totaling 3600 Charms for all three. Laufey is the standout card, particularly for affliction decks. However, it might be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection's needs.
And there you have it—the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in Marvel Snap. Whether you're looking to counter specific strategies or enhance your existing decks, these cards offer unique opportunities to elevate your gameplay.
