Gorgon: A Powerful Counter

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 decks. However, cards like Mobius M. Mobius, Rogue, or Enchantress can neutralize 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." In a location with four opposing cards, Laufey becomes a formidable 13-power card. Synergizing well with Zabu, Laufey complements cards like Diamondback and Ajax.

Uncle Ben: A Strategic Sacrifice

Uncle Ben (1-cost, 2-power) features the ability: "When this card is destroyed, replace it with Spider-Man." This makes him a valuable asset in Destroy-focused decks alongside Carnage, Venom, and Lady Deathstrike, functioning as a Bucky Barnes alternative.

Sanctum Showdown Grind: Worth the Effort?
