With the constant influx of new cards in Marvel Snap, keeping up can be a challenge. The Escapist is here to help you navigate through the latest additions, focusing on the best 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 and also impacts strategies like Discard, which rely on filling hands with 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.
Laufey is a 4-cost, 5-power card with an ability that reads: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here."
This effect can be incredibly powerful, especially in locations with four cards, effectively turning Laufey into a 13-power card. It's similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced, as Laufey can be discounted by Zabu, making it easier to synergize with cards like 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, a 2-cost, 4-power card, has 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, functioning similarly 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 the best decks for each card:

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Moonstone and Anti-Venom, which can be replaced with Iron Lad if needed. Gorgon can be played on turn 5 alongside a 3-cost card, and his effect is amplified by Spectrum and Moonstone, making your opponent's generated cards even more costly. The main win condition is stacking Ongoing effects or getting discounted Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.

This deck is heavy on Series 5 cards, which are crucial for its effectiveness, except for Red Guardian, which can be swapped for Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The strategy is to win one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith enhance the deck's performance, especially in the presence of Luke Cage.

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 while discounting your Death, retriggering card effects with Misery, and countering with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike. Destroying Uncle Ben spawns Spider-Man, further complicating your opponent's strategy.
Acquiring these three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is quite substantial. Of the three, Laufey is the most worthwhile if you're interested in affliction decks. It might be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection, as the chances of pulling multiple cards are limited.
And those are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in Marvel Snap.
