Navigating the ever-evolving world of *Marvel Snap* can be challenging with the influx of new cards. The Escapist is here to break down the latest additions, focusing on the best strategies for Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben. Let's dive into how these cards work and the optimal decks to leverage their abilities.
How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, has an ongoing ability that increases the cost of your opponent's cards that didn't start in their deck by 1, up to a maximum of 6. This makes Gorgon a formidable counter to Arishem decks and can disrupt strategies like Discard decks that rely on cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effect can be nullified by Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards such as Rogue or Enchantress.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey, priced at 4-cost and 5-power, boasts an On Reveal ability that steals 1 power from each other card in the location, potentially turning Laufey into a 13-power card if four other cards are present. Similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced, Laufey pairs well with Zabu for cost reduction and synergizes effectively with cards like Diamondback and Ajax in affliction-style decks.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben, a 1-cost, 2-power card, has a unique effect: upon destruction, he is replaced by Spider-Man. This Spider-Man card, costing 2 and boasting 4 power, can move to another location and pull an enemy card with it on reveal. Uncle Ben complements Destroy decks, working seamlessly with cards like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, and serves as an alternative to Bucky Barnes.
Best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben Decks in Marvel Snap
While these cards aren't necessarily game-changers, they can enhance specific deck strategies, particularly Laufey in affliction decks. Here's how you can integrate them into your gameplay:
Gorgon Deck:
- Ant-Man
- Ravonna Renslayer
- Gorgon
- Sam Wilson
- Captain America
- Mystique
- Mister Fantastic
- Luke Cage
- Captain America
- Moonstone
- Anti-Venom (or Iron Lad)
- Iron Man
- Spectrum
This deck thrives in game modes like Conquest, where Gorgon can counter Arishem decks effectively. The win condition revolves around stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone or getting discounted Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
Laufey Deck:
- Zabu
- Hazmat
- Scorpion
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Diamondback
- Red Guardian
- Laufey
- Malekith
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax
This Toxic Ajax deck aims to dominate two lanes using US Agent and Diamondback, while Ajax secures another. It's particularly potent once Luke Cage's meta presence wanes, and Anti-Venom and Malekith enhance its flexibility and power.
Uncle Ben Deck:
- The Hood
- Uncle Ben
- Yondu
- Cable
- Iron Patriot
- Killmonger
- Baron Zemo
- Gladiator
- Shang-Chi
- Misery
- Lady Deathstrike
- Death
This deck focuses on disrupting the opponent's strategy while setting up powerful plays with Death. Uncle Ben's destruction spawns Spider-Man, adding an extra layer of disruption and control to your game plan.
Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
The new Sanctum Showdown mode in *Marvel Rivals* requires 1200 Charms to roll for one of these cards, totaling 3600 Charms for all three. While Laufey is the standout card for affliction decks, the investment might be better spent on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, which can provide more versatility to your collection.
These are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in *Marvel Snap*. Experiment with these strategies to enhance your gameplay and outsmart your opponents.
