Gorgon: A Deep Dive

Gorgon (2-cost, 3-power) boasts 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 relying on generated cards, such as Discard or Devil Dinosaur variants. However, cards like Mobius M. Mobius, Rogue, or Enchantress can negate Gorgon's effect.

Laufey: Power Stealing Prowess

Laufey (4-cost, 5-power) possesses the ability: “On Reveal: Steal 1 Power from each other card here.” With four opposing cards, Laufey becomes a formidable 13-power threat. Similar to Spider-Woman, but potentially stronger due to Zabu synergy, allowing for easier combinations with cards like Diamondback and Ajax.

Uncle Ben: A Spider-Man Surprise

Uncle Ben (1-cost, 2-power) has the ability: “When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man.” This creates synergy with Destroy effects from cards like Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, acting as a potent alternative to Bucky Barnes.

Optimal Deck Builds

While not universally game-changing, these cards offer strategic advantages in specific archetypes.

Gorgon Deck:

• Ant-Man
• Ravonna Renslayer
• Gorgon
• Sam Wilson
• Captain America
• Mystique
• Mister Fantastic
• Luke Cage
• Captain America
• Moonstone
• Anti-Venom (or Iron Lad)
• Iron Man
• Spectrum

(Moonstone and Anti-Venom are Series 5; substitute Iron Lad if needed.) This deck focuses on stacking Ongoing effects with Moonstone, or leveraging discounted Iron Man and Mystique for a powerful final turn.

Laufey Deck (Toxic Ajax):

• Zabu
• Hazmat
• Scorpion
• U.S. Agent
• Luke Cage
• Diamondback
• Red Guardian
• Laufey
• Malekith
• Anti-Venom
• Man-Thing
• Ajax

(This deck features several Series 5 cards: U.S. Agent, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. Red Guardian could be replaced with Rocket Raccoon and Groot.) The strategy revolves around winning one lane with Ajax while dominating another with cards like U.S. Agent and Diamondback.

Uncle Ben Deck:

• The Hood
• Uncle Ben
• Yondu
• Cable
• Iron Patriot
• Killmonger
• Baron Zemo
• Gladiator
• Shang-Chi
• Misery
• Lady Deathstrike
• Death

(Series 5 cards include Iron Patriot, Baron Zemo, and Misery. Iron Patriot could be replaced with Red Guardian.) This deck aims to disrupt the opponent's deck while utilizing Misery to trigger card effects and counter with Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Lady Deathstrike.

Is the Sanctum Showdown Grind Worth It?

Acquiring these three cards requires 3600 Charms, a significant investment. Only Laufey, for players focused on affliction decks, justifies this cost. Consider prioritizing Series 4 and 5 cards instead unless you specifically need Laufey.
