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 relying on cards drawn into the hand, such as Discard decks. 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 effectively becomes a 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman but potentially stronger, Laufey synergizes well with Zabu, boosting its effectiveness 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 creates synergy with Destroy effects from cards like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, offering an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Acquiring all three cards requires 3600 Charms—a significant investment. Only Laufey offers compelling value for affliction decks. Investing in Series 4 and 5 cards might yield better overall results.
