How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon is a 2-cost, 3-power card with 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 relying on cards drawn into the hand, such as Discard decks. However, effects like Mobius M. Mobius or cards like Rogue and Enchantress can negate Gorgon's ability.
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 a location, Laufey effectively becomes a 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman but potentially stronger, Laufey synergizes well with cards like Diamondback and Ajax, especially when discounted by Zabu.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben is a 1-cost, 2-power card with the ability: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.” This creates synergy with Destroy effects from cards like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, offering an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Acquiring all three cards requires a significant charm investment (3600). Laufey is the most valuable of the three for affliction decks. Consider whether the cost justifies the potential benefit compared to obtaining other Series 4 and 5 cards.
