How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, comes with an ability that reads: "Ongoing: Your opponent's cards that didn't start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)" This ability directly counters Arishem decks, and also impacts strategies like Discard decks that utilize Swarms, Iron Patriot rolls, and Devil Dinosaur lists. However, its effect can be negated 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 "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here" ability. This effect can make Laufey exceptionally powerful, especially in locations with four cards, turning it into a potential 13-power card. Laufey's synergy with Zabu makes it a versatile choice, fitting well with cards like Diamondback and Ajax, and offering a slight edge over similar cards like Spider-Woman.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben, a 1-cost, 2-power card, has an ability that states: "When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man." Spider-Man, a 2-cost, 4-power card, then activates with "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, serving as an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Grinding for these cards in the new Sanctum Showdown mode costs 1200 Charms per roll, totaling 3600 Charms for all three.
