How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon is a 2-cost, 3-power card with 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 like Discard, hindering cards like Swarms and Iron Patriot. However, effects like Mobius M. Mobius, Rogue, or Enchantress can negate Gorgon's ability.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey, a 4-cost, 5-power card, boasts the ability: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” With four cards in an opposing location, Laufey effectively becomes a 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman but potentially stronger, Laufey synergizes well with Zabu, enhancing its power alongside 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.” This pairs well 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. Laufey is the most worthwhile acquisition, particularly for affliction deck enthusiasts. Consider prioritizing obtaining Series 4 and 5 cards instead, depending on your current collection.
