The current updated guide covers a new meta deck for Black Knight, the new discard-archetype card.

Best Overall Pool 3 Discard Deck
To build the ultimate Pool 3 Discard deck, have Colleen Wing, Hellcow, Gambit, and Lady Sif asprimary destroyer cards. And use them to buff Apocalypse, Swarm, Dracula, and Morbius. But for an element of power & counterattack, include Ghost Rider, Invisible Woman, Leech, and America Chavez, too.

With this deck, the primary goal is toboost Apocalypse’s Powerwhile duplicating Swarms. The Discard function buffs these two cards, but it passively adds to Dracula’s Power, too. In the lineup, Ghost Rider and Leech are support cards. And Invisible Woman is the element of surprise when the strategy is exposed. America Chavez, however, is only a win condition to cover weak locations.
Here’s how each card affects the Pool 3 Discard deck:
Best Powerhouse Discard Deck
Afterthe debut of Black Knight,Marvel Snap’s metagame experienced a slight shift towarddiscard decks with Lady Sif and The Infinaut. This killer combo with Black Knight guarantees a cheap 20-Power card that, when played before Taskmaster, can dominate any game.
To create this lineup, players will need to have Black Knight team up with Lady Sif and The Infinaut. They must then complete the deck with Taskmaster, Dracula, Ghost Rider, Blade, Zabu, Jubilee, Giganto, Armor, and Moon Girl.

Best Budget Pool 3 Deck
For a Pool 3 beginner-friendly and cost-effective Discard deck, put together Colleen Wing, Gambit,Moon Knight, Hellcow, and Dracula. And fill the remaining slots with Blade, Morbius, Swarm, Lady Sif, Sword Master, Apocalypse, and America Chavez.
The budget deck isbest for players new to the third Pool. It follows the same basic Discard strategy—get rid of low-cost cards and add to high-Power cards’ potential. But the deck is viable and easy to handle. (First-time Discard deck users benefit from its simplicity.)

Best Pro Discard Deck for Series 3
A Lockjaw Discard deck is currently the most popular build among proMarvel Snapplayers. To replicate it, have Lockjaw, Dracula, Colleen Wing, Hell Cow, and Moon Knight as the primary Pool 3 lineup. And complete the deck with Blade, Morbius, Swarm, Lady Sif, Sword Master, Apocalypse, and America Chavez.
The Lockjaw Discard deck is called “pro” because of its above-average RNG effect. Only seasoned playersutilize Lockjaw’s On Reveal to control the boardand avoid the negative Discard chance. But with the deck’s high risk comes a higher prize. Basically, mastering the Lockjaw Discard deck guarantees a win against most OP builds.
Here’s how the new card helps create the right Discard synergy:
Best Pool 3 Ramp Discard Deck
For a slow-paced Discard deck, go with Pool 3 cards Colleen Wing, Invisible Woman, Gambit, Black Cat, Dracula, Wong, and Hellcow. And escort them with Blade, Morbius, Sword Master, Apocalypse, and Odin. Thanks to Black Cat, Dracula, and Odin, this deck’s true potential unleashes during the final round.

Unpredictability is what makes the late-game-win Discard deck a preferable option. The opponent will have difficulty predicting each move because Invisible Woman conceals a location, Odin reactivates some On Reveals, and Black Cat only comes into play in the last round.
Here are the most effective cards in this deck:
Best Pool 3 Cards to Include in Discard Decks
Among all Pool 3 options,Dracula is the best card for Discard decksbecause it gains +2 Power for each Discard. Other valuable cards in the third series are Gambit, Hela, Hellcow, Colleen Wing, and Ghost Rider.
Best Strategy for Playing with Pool 3 Discard Decks
For a guaranteed win with a Pool 3 Discard deck, choose at least two Discard-benefiting cards from lower Pools. Apocalypse and Morbius are excellent choices; they get buffed after each Discard. This strategy is best because strong Pool 3 cards like Destroyer are risky plays.
