Around the time you get to Marvel Snap‘s midgame, you’ll start learning about discard and destruction decks, which rely on risky gameplay to boost your card strength into the stratosphere.
Sword Master and Lady Sif are the staples of this particular build as they buff Apocalypse to unmatchable numbers (if he can stay alive throughout the final tally). Wolverine is equally comfortable here. No matter what happens, he’ll come back. Blade, meanwhile, is a low-cost value builder, and Swarm contributes some nice value.
I tend to favor keeping a few counters in play, so you’ll see a couple of cards here not seen in other Apocalypse decks. Killmonger is here to take out easy opposing cards, and it pops the Nova in this deck for that little extra “oomph.” Cosmo, especially if Limbo is a location, can also help protect Apocalypse from Shang-Chi. Since all of that is highly situational, consider running Sabretooth instead as a potential replacement. While he’s a little more obtuse in his uses than Wolverine, he’s still a good value card that’ll survive big attacks. America Chavez is here for one reason only: to baffle an enemy Yondu. If you’re feeling frisky, though, she can be treated as a custom slot.
