How Gorgon Works in Marvel Snap
Gorgon, a 2-cost, 3-power card, boasts an ability that reads: "Ongoing: Your opponent’s cards that didn’t start in their deck cost 1 more. (maximum 6)." This card directly counters Arishem decks and also impacts Discard decks by affecting cards like Swarms and Iron Patriot rolls. However, its effect can be nullified 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 the ability: "On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here." This makes Laufey highly effective, especially in locations with multiple cards, potentially turning him into a 13-power card. Similar to Spider-Woman but enhanced, Laufey can be synergized with Zabu and works well with 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." Spider-Man, a 2-cost, 4-power card, has the ability: "On Reveal: Move to another location and pull an enemy card from here to there." Uncle Ben synergizes with Destroy enablers like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, offering an alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Should You Grind Sanctum Showdown in Marvel Rivals for Gorgon, Laufey & Uncle Ben?
Rolling for these three cards in the new game mode costs 3600 Charms, which is substantial. Laufey is the only card truly worth the grind, especially if you favor affliction decks. Otherwise, spending 2250 Charms on unowned Series 4 and 5 cards might be more beneficial depending on your collection.
