Just played against someone with a discard deck. They had two or three cards that would destroy cards in their own hand as well as an Apolocaypse. I think Apocalypse gains 4 strength every time a card is discarded, so he was able to get it up to 20 strength.

He built up 30 power in the first area without even using Apocalypse, then he snapped. I was sure I was gonna lose. I only played Rocket here (didn't get the bonus for the opponent playing a card on the same turn), then Mister Fantastic got moved here.

In the center area, I just had a Nightcrawler(2) with a boost from a Mister Fantastic that got moved from the center to the left.

The 3rd area was one where on-reveal abilities happen twice. He had Blade and Lady Sif here. I played Spider-Woman and Ant-Man. Ant-Man didn't really do much for me here, but Spider-Woman was clutch. She reduced the power of both of her cards twice. On the 6th turn, he played Apocalypse. I played Odin.

Spider-Woman's ability re-activated twice, then Odin's ability activated again, so Spider-Woman's ability activated another two times. It reduced his strength in the 3rd area from 27 to 15.

Final result:

30 - 0 - 15
6 - 4 - 16

Pulled off the win, just barely, lol. I probably need to start using a themed deck instead of just random cards that I like.
