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 Discard decks 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, a 4-cost, 5-power card, has the ability: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here." This effect can make Laufey a powerhouse, reaching up to 13 power if there are four cards in the location. It's similar to Spider-Woman but more versatile, especially when discounted by Zabu, enhancing its synergy with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.
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." Spider-Man, in turn, is a 2-cost, 4-power card 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 an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Moonstone and Anti-Venom, but you can substitute Anti-Venom with Iron Lad if needed. Gorgon can be a strategic drop on turn 5, especially against Arishem decks, and benefits from Spectrum and Moonstone's buffs. The main win condition involves stacking Ongoing effects or using discounted Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.
Laufey Deck
- Zabu
- Hazmat
- Scorpion
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Diamondback
- Red Guardian
- Laufey
- Malekith

This Toxic Ajax deck relies heavily on Series 5 cards, which are crucial except for Red Guardian, who can be replaced by Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The strategy is to dominate one lane with Ajax and another with cards like US Agent and Diamondback. Anti-Venom and Malekith add significant value, particularly with Luke Cage.
Uncle Ben Deck
- The Hood
- Uncle Ben
- Yondu
- Cable
- Iron Patriot
- Killmonger
- Baron Zemo
- Gladiator
- Shang-Chi
- Misery
- Lady Deathstrike
- Death
Click here to copy this list from Untapped.
This deck features 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 Death, retriggering card effects, and countering with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike. Uncle Ben's destruction spawns Spider-Man, adding another layer of disruption.
