Compared to Pool 2 cards, Pool 3 has few Destroy-feeder options. But thanks to its Destroy-benefiting cards like Death, it’s one of the best series for creating undefeatable Destroy decks. And this guide explains how to build one.
Best Pool 3 Destroy Deck
To build the most effective Pool 3 Destroy deck, have Venom, Carnage, Deathlok, and Killmonger as Destroyers. Add Deadpool, Nova, Sabretooth, and Bucky Barnes as feeders, Aero and Leader as supporters, and Death and She-Hulk as end-game finishers.

The goal of this Destroy deck is to feed the low-cost cards (Deadpool, Nova, Sabretooth, and Bucky) to the high-power Destroyers (Carnage and Venom). This will guarantee dominance in at least two areas while reducing Death’s cost for an end-game finisher.
Leader and Aero are there for when things go wrong. The former copies the enemy’s cards in the location, and the latter moves them.
Here’s what each card in the Pool 3 Destroy deck does:
- Leader: Duplicates enemy’s cards on the friendly side.
- Aero: Pulls newly played enemy cards to its location.
- Death: Gets a 1-Cost discount per each destruction.
- She-Hulk: Gets a 1-Cost discount for every saved energy.
- Nova: Gives all cards +2 Power when destroyed.
- Deathlok: Destroys all friendly cards at the location.
- Killmonger: Abolishes all friendly 1-Cost cards.
- Sabretooth: Returns to the deck upon destruction but costs 0.
- Bucky Barnes: Creates the Winter Soldier where it’s destroyed.
- Deadpool: Doubles in Power and returns to the deck after destruction.
- Venom: Destroys friendly cards at the location and absorbs their Power.
- Carnage: Abolishes friendly cards at the location and gains +2 Power for each.
Alternative Destroy Decks for Pool 3
Because Pool 3 has high-power cards like Destroyer, at least two other variations of infinite-level decks are available. The following are more aggressive alternatives for intense matches.
Destroyer-Themed Destroy Deck
Since Destroyer abolishes all friendly cards on the board, it must be accompanied by control characters. Armor, Colossus, and Cosmo, therefore, are a must-have in Destroyer Destroy decks.
As for feeders, Deadpool, Nova, Bucky Barnes, and The Hood are good choices. But since Destroyer is a high-power card, there’s no need to have She-Hulk on the deck.
A Destroyer-Themed Destroy deck should look like this:

High-Cost/High-Power Destroy Deck
To build a high-Cost/high-Power Pool 3 Destroy deck, have Black Knight, Wolverine, Nova, Bucky Barnes, Sabretooth, and Deadpool as feeder cards. Use Carnage, Venom, Killmonger, and Deathlok as Destroyers. And add America Chavez and Death as finishers.

Most Pool 3 Destroy decks have an average Power of 3 (before the destruction buffs). But having Wolverine and Black Knight can increase the total damage by 1. The only downside is that they add to the cost, too.
Best Strategy for Pool 3 Destroy Decks
The best formation for a Series 3 Destroy deck is 4 feeders, 4 destroyers, 2 supports, and 2 finishers. In this build, feeders are cards that benefit the team when destroyed. Destroyers are cards that gain power by abolishing others. Supports are carriers. And finishers are high-Power dominators.
This is the ideal strategy because it can win the game without the help of supports and finishers. But it also allows surprise counterattacks in the fifth and final rounds.
