With the continuous influx of new cards in *Marvel Snap*, staying on top of the latest additions can be quite the challenge. Thankfully, The Escapist is here to guide you through the intricacies of the newest cards: Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben. Here's a detailed look at how these cards function and the best deck strategies to maximize their potential.
Gorgon is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ongoing ability that reads: "Ongoing: Your opponent's cards that didn't start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)." This makes Gorgon a formidable counter to decks like Arishem, which rely on cards that don't start in the deck. It also impacts Discard decks using Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur, though the latter is less common. However, Gorgon's effect 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 "On Reveal" ability: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here." This effect can be incredibly potent, especially in locations with multiple cards, potentially turning Laufey into a 13-power card. Laufey functions similarly to Spider-Woman but is enhanced by discounts from Zabu, making it a strong fit for decks utilizing Diamondback and Ajax.
Uncle Ben, a 1-cost, 2-power card, has the ability: "When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man." Spider-Man is a 2-cost, 4-power card with an "On Reveal" 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, offering a strategic alternative to Bucky Barnes.
While these cards are not necessarily must-haves, Laufey stands out as a valuable addition to affliction-style Ajax decks. Let's explore how to integrate these cards into your decks:
Gorgon Deck: This versatile deck can be used in various game modes, especially effective against Arishem decks in Conquest mode:

The deck's strategy revolves around stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone or leveraging discounted plays with Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
Laufey Deck: Laufey fits seamlessly into the Toxic Ajax deck, which is straightforward yet potent:

Uncle Ben Deck: Uncle Ben is the trickiest to incorporate, but here's a deck that attempts to utilize his unique ability:
Click here to copy this list from Untapped. The Series 5 cards here are Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery, with the latter two being essential. The strategy focuses on disrupting the opponent's deck while discounting Death and retriggering card effects with Misery, using Killmonger and Lady Deathstrike to destroy Uncle Ben and summon Spider-Man.
Grinding for these cards in the new Sanctum Showdown mode in *Marvel Rivals* requires 1200 Charms per card, totaling 3600 Charms for all three. While Laufey is a worthwhile addition for affliction decks, the others may not justify the cost. 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 shake up your gameplay.
