How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon is a versatile 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 card serves as a direct counter to Arishem decks and also impacts strategies like Discard decks that utilize cards such as Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effect can be neutralized by Mobius M. Mobius or anti-Ongoing cards like Rogue or Enchantress.
How Laufey Works in Marvel Snap
Laufey, a 4-cost, 5-power card, boasts an impressive ability: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here." In a location with four other cards, Laufey can become a powerhouse, effectively reaching 13 power. It's similar to Spider-Woman but more potent, especially when discounted by Zabu, making it a great fit in decks with Diamondback and Ajax.
How Uncle Ben Works in Marvel Snap
Uncle Ben, a 1-cost, 2-power card, has a unique ability: "When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man." Spider-Man, a 2-cost, 4-power card, then activates his ability: "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, functioning similarly to Bucky Barnes.

Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Rolling for these cards in the new game mode costs 1200 Charms each, totaling 3600 Charms for all three. If you're into affliction decks, Laufey might be worth the investment. However, for broader value, it's better to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection's needs.
