Looking for the best card destruction strategy in Marvel Snap? This guide covers the destroy archetype, the best cards, synergies, and decks.
Marvel Snap cards have different abilities activated on Reveal or Continuous (during the whole game). Among them are three very different types: discard, move, and destroy.
The destroy archetype is usually rare. This is because there’s loads of risk involved in playing decks focused on cards that can destroy other cards (your opponent’s or yours).
What is the Best Card Destruction Strategy in Marvel Snap?

Pool 1
Here are the cards that will help you build the best card destruction strategy in Marvel Snap.
Already among your first cards, you will find some cards with this ability to destroy. One of the easiest to use is Elektra (1-1), which destroys a 1-cost card of your opponent in this location, which is good to save for later in the game.
But the most interesting is the cards we can “sacrifice” for profit. Nova (1-1) is a must-have for a destruction deck: it gives your other cards +1 power when destroyed.
Wolverine (2-2) just got a buff, and if you destroy it, it regenerates in another location with +2 power. And Angel (1-2) is a card that is very useful if you are lucky and don’t draw it from your deck because every time you destroy a card, it will fly from your deck to replace it, so you play it for free.
With these cards at hand, can you start planning the best card destruction strategy in Marvel Snap?
To destroy your own cards, the first cards you will have are Carnage (2-2), which gains +2 power for each card destroyed, and Deathlok (3-5), which destroys all your other cards in your location. This one receives no benefit for destroying it (in return, it has a lot of power).
Finally, we will also receive Armor, a counter card that creates a shield around the location to prevent cards from being destroyed. Paradoxical as it may seem, it is an excellent option to have it in a destroyed deck if we want to use cards like Deathlok without having cards with the benefits of being destroyed.
Best Card Destruction Strategy for Pool 2 in Marvel Snap
In pool 2, we will get another four cards with Destroy effects. Our favorite is Bucky Barnes (2-1), which, when destroyed, transforms into the Winter Soldier, with 6 power, and also Sabretooth (3-4), which returns every time it is destroyed to your hand with 0 costs.
On the other hand, Shang-Chi (4-3) has a different effect, which can come in handy in cases where the opponent has a card with +9 power, as it will destroy them.
Marvel Snap is available on PC and iOS.
