How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that states: "Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)"
This card is a strategic counter to Arishem decks, but it also impacts Discard strategies that rely on cards like Swarm, Iron Patriot, and Devil Dinosaur. However, its effectiveness can be nullified by 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 the ability: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here."
This ability can be particularly potent, turning Laufey into a 13-power card if there are four other cards in the same location. It shares similarities with Spider-Woman but offers additional synergy when discounted by Zabu, making it a versatile choice for decks featuring 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."
Spider-Man, in turn, is a 2-cost, 4-power card with the 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, offering a unique twist similar to Bucky Barnes.

While Red Guardian can be replaced with Rocket Raccoon and Groot, the others are essential for the deck's success.

Acquiring these three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is a significant investment. Of the three, Laufey is the most worthwhile if you're interested in affliction decks. However, it might be more beneficial to spend 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, depending on your collection, as this approach offers a broader range of potential additions to your deck.
