Dracula single-handedly turns Pool 3 into a Discard-friendly batch. But its synergy with Apocalypse is a game-changer. In fact, these two cards are so compatible that Marvel Snap players constantly come up with new—and better—Pool 3 Apocalypse decks. The following, however, is the best lineup out of all the recent formations. Put these apocalyptic cards together to have the meta Apocalypse deck in the entire Series 3.
The Best Apocalypse Deck in Pool 3
In Marvel Snap’s Pool 3, the best Apocalypse deck is a discard lineup that includes Dracula. To replicate this arrangement, pair Colleen Wing, Lockjaw, Moon Knight, Hellcow, and Dracula from Poo 3 with Apocalypse, Morbius, Swarm, Wolfsbane, Lady Sif, Sword Master, and America Chavez.
Card | Cost | Power |
Apocalypse | 6 | 8 |
Colleen Wing | 2 | 4 |
Lockjaw | 3 | 2 |
Moon Knight | 3 | 3 |
Hellcow | 4 | 6 |
Dracula | 4 | 0 |
Morbius | 2 | 0 |
Swarm | 2 | 3 |
Wolfsbane | 3 | 1 |
Lady Sif | 3 | 4 |
Sword Master | 3 | 6 |
America Chavez | 6 | 9 |
The Pool 3 Apocalypse lineup is a Discard deck. Its goal is to buff Swarm, Morbius, Dracula, and Apocalypse by discarding them with Colleen Wing, Moon Knight, Hellcow, Lady Sif, and Sword Master. In this deck, Wolfsbane and America Chavez are support cards, and Lockjaw is the element of surprise.
Here’s what each card in the Pool 3 Apocalypse deck does:
- Apocalypse: Gains 4 Power per discard.
- Colleen Wing: Discards the lowest-Cost card.
- Lockjaw: Swaps a played card with one from the deck.
- Moon Knight: Discards one card from both players’ hands.
- Hellcow: Discards two cards from the hand.
- Dracula: Gains the Power of the last discarded card.
- Morbius: Gains 2 Power per discard.
- Swarm: Creates two 0-Cost copies when discarded.
- Wolfsbane: Gets 2 Power per card in her location.
- Lady Sif: Discards the highest-Cost card at hand.
- Sword Master: Discards a random card at hand.
- America Chavez: It always shows up at round 6.
Best Pool 3 Cards to Have in Apocalypse Decks
Out of all 87 cards in Series 3, the best heroes to have in an Apocalypse deck are Colleen Wing, Dracula, Gambit, Ghost Rider, Hela, Hellcow, Helicarrier, Moon Knight, and Black Cat. These cards either boost the discard process or get buffed by it, which matches Apocalypse’s synergy.
Best Strategy for Playing a Pool 3 Apocalypse Deck
The goal with a Pool 3 Apocalypse deck is to go wide and aim for a late win. The three win conditions (Apocalypse, America Chavez, and Dracula) unleash their potential in the last round. So, the target should be slowing down the pace, spreading the Power, and preparing the board for the big three.
Keep discarding Swarm with Colleen Wing, Sword Master, and Hellcow to get as many copies as possible. But keep Lady Sif for the last round to guarantee at least one Apocalypse discard with +4 Power. If the opponent reads your strategy, bring Lockjaw into play and swap cards to confuse them.
