How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, boasts the ability: “Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more (maximum 6).” This directly counters Arishem decks and impacts strategies like Discard, hindering cards like Swarms and Iron Patriot. However, effects like Mobius M. Mobius, Rogue, or Enchantress can negate Gorgon's power.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey is a 4-cost, 5-power card with the ability: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” With four cards in the opposing location, Laufey becomes a potent 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman, but potentially stronger due to Zabu synergy, Laufey pairs well with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben, a 1-cost, 2-power card, has the ability: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.” This synergy with Destroy cards like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike makes him a viable alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Acquiring all three cards requires 3600 Charms—a significant investment. Laufey offers the most impactful addition to existing decks. Consider prioritizing Series 4 and 5 card pulls instead, unless you're heavily invested in affliction-style decks.
