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 potent counter to Arishem decks, impacting other strategies like Discard that rely on cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effect can be nullified by cards such as 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 card can become exceptionally powerful, especially with four cards in an opponent's location, turning Laufey into a 13-power card. It's a step up from Spider-Woman and synergizes well with Zabu, making it a great fit for decks featuring 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 with Destroy enablers like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, offering a unique playstyle akin to Bucky Barnes.
