With a Power of -1 and a Cost of 6, Gorr may not initially seem like a top-tier win condition.

Gorr Deck Synergies

All On Reveal cards in the deck will buff Gorr.
Taskmaster copies Gorr’s Power, becoming a secondary win condition.
Mystique copies Gorr’s text, adding another powerful play.
Ravonna Renslayer provides cost reductions.
Jane Foster draws all your zero-Cost cards after Mister Negative’s effect.
Wong doubles your On Reveal effects.
Cassandra Nova offers protection against Arishem decks.

If your deck lacks consistency, consider replacing Forge with Magik. She can extend the match, increasing your chances of drawing the right cards.

How to Play Gorr Effectively

Here are some notes to help you maximize Gorr’s power:

Gorr’s ability affects the entire board, so even your opponent’s On Reveal cards contribute to his buff. Remembering this detail is crucial, as overlooking it can lead to misplays and underestimations.
Get creative with delayed reveals. Cards like Invisible Woman can hide On Reveal cards, allowing you to trigger Gorr’s ability later. For instance, Mystique can remain unrevealed behind Invisible Woman to copy Gorr’s effect in the final round.
Pay attention to Power distribution before playing Gorr. His ability can often secure a location by itself in round six, but you should plan your board to win at least one other location with your remaining cards while supporting Gorr in his lane. Distribute Power so that your only win condition is not Gorr.

How to Counter Gorr

Gorr’s immense power makes him vulnerable to most tech cards in Marvel Snap. The best counters for Gorr are Shadow King and Shang-Chi. For a sneaky counterplay, consider using Rogue or Super Skrull, as they’re especially effective against enemy On Reveal decks.

Is Gorr Worth It?

Gorr is a future-proof investment worth the cost. Since On Reveal cards are consistently META in Marvel Snap—or at least dominate a significant portion of the metagame—Gorr has long-term value. His synergy with this archetype ensures his relevance for many seasons. The worst-case scenario is a major nerf or a limit to his buff, but this risk is worth taking, as Gorr could become one of the few plug-and-play finishers in the game.
