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 and also impacts strategies like Discard that rely on cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effect can be neutralized by Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards like 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 significantly boost Laufey's power, potentially reaching up to 13 power in a location with four other cards. It's akin to Spider-Woman but enhanced, as Laufey can be discounted by Zabu, facilitating 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, 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, offering a strategic alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Acquiring these three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is a significant investment. Of the three, Laufey is the most worthwhile if you're interested in affliction decks. It might be more strategic to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your current collection, as this approach offers a broader range of potential additions to your deck.
And those are the best Gorgon, Laufey, and Uncle Ben decks in Marvel Snap.
