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, but it also impacts other strategies like Discard decks, which often utilize 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 ability can make Laufey a formidable 13-power card if played in a location with four other cards. It’s similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced, especially when discounted by Zabu, allowing for synergy 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, 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, 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. It's versatile, allowing you to play Gorgon on turn 5 alongside a 3-drop, and it excels in game modes like Conquest where Arishem decks are prevalent. The main win condition is stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone or discounting Iron Man and Mystique for a final turn splash.
For Laufey, the deck is straightforward and focuses on the Toxic Ajax strategy:
- 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, including US Agent, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. It aims to dominate one lane with Ajax while controlling another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom synergizes well with Luke Cage, and Malekith often draws you a beneficial card.
Lastly, Uncle Ben is the least impactful and hardest to integrate into a 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. The strategy involves disrupting your opponent’s deck while discounting your Death, retriggering card effects with Misery, and countering with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike. Uncle Ben's destruction spawns Spider-Man, adding another layer of disruption.
