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 strategic counter to decks like Arishem, which rely on cards not starting in the deck. It also impacts Discard decks that utilize cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effectiveness can be neutralized by cards like Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards such as 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 effect can be quite potent, especially in locations with four cards, turning Laufey into an effective 13-power card. It's similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced, as Laufey can be discounted by 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 well with Destroy enablers like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, offering a unique alternative to cards like Bucky Barnes.
