Marvel SNAP’s Sanctum Showdown event introduced three new cards, including Uncle Ben—a character many see as more of a meme than a game-changer. As expected, he isn’t a must-have, and like most recent free cards, he’s just a decent addition to your collection. Still, we decided to putMarvel SNAP’s Uncle Ben to the test and built a standard destroy deck where he fits surprisingly well. Here’s how you’re able to try it out for yourself.

Uncle Ben Deck Synergies
Two substitute cards for the Uncle Ben deck are Arnim Zola and Lady Deathstrike.
How to Play Uncle Ben Effectively
Uncle Ben is a straightforward card,played similarly to X-23 or Deadpool. However, his secondary effect offers a strategic advantage. To take full advantage of it, play him in a lane with enemy cards that synergize. His summon, Spider-Man, will move one of those enemy cards to a different location, potentially disrupting their strategy.
How to Counter Uncle Ben
To prevent Uncle Ben from summoning Spider-Man, focus on disabling the enemy’s destroyer cards. One option is Armor, which can protect against destruction. Alternatively, sincemost destroyer cards are On Reveal, Cosmo is another effective counter.
Is Uncle Ben a Good Card?
Uncle Ben is on par with most other free cards inMarvel SNAP: he’s not essential, but he’s a fun addition to some decks. The only free card that’s truly a must-have isCassandra Nova; others, like Uncle Ben, are mediocre at best.
If you typically run a destroy deck or enjoy that archetype, Uncle Ben can add some crowd control to your lineup, so it’s worth giving him a shot. However, if you don’t, it’s not worth trying to fit him into other decks, as the chances of him improving your setups are slim.
