*Marvel Snap* is diving into the past with the Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing Agamotto, a powerful ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange. Here's a breakdown of the best Agamotto decks to maximize his potential in *Marvel Snap*.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with the ability: “Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck.” These Ancient Arcana are:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that says, “On Reveal: Give Agamotto +3 Power. Put him into your hand if he’s not in play. (Banish this.)”
- Wombs of Watoomb: A 2-cost card that states, “On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)”
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card with, “On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)”
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that reads, “On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)”
The Ancient Arcana cards lack a Power value and feature the new keyword "Banish," meaning they're removed from play after use and don't enter discard or destroy piles. This mechanic allows for synergy with cards like Wong, but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatility makes it challenging to fit him into a single archetype, as he dilutes deck consistency.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is poised to create his own archetype, but in the meantime, he can enhance existing decks like Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Here’s the Wiccan Control deck:
- Quicksilver
- Hydra Bob
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Iron Patriot
- Sam Wilson
- Captain America
- Cassandra Nova
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot
- Copycat
- Galacta
- Wiccan
- Agamotto
- Alioth
This deck is costly, featuring many Series 5 cards, but you can swap most cards for similar-cost alternatives. Bolts of Balthakk's +4 energy boost helps maintain late-game momentum even if you miss Wiccan. The other Arcana cards synergize well: Temporal Manipulation boosts Agamotto's early play, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts opponents, and Images of Ikonn can multiply powerful cards like Cassandra Nova, Wiccan, or Galacta.
The Push Scream deck also benefits from Agamotto:
- Hydra Bob
- Scream
- Iron Patriot
- Kraven
- Sam Wilson
- Captain America
- Spider-Man
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot
- Miles Morales
- Spider-Man
- Stegron
- Cannonball
- Agamotto
This deck also leans on Series 5 cards, but substitutions like Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot are viable. Agamotto's Ancient Arcana, especially Images of Ikonn, can multiply disruptive cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, making the deck less predictable and more versatile against opponents using Luke Cage or Shadow King.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, could be as impactful as Thanos or Arishem, cycling in and out of the meta with potent synergies. At $9.99, he's a worthy addition for those looking to leverage his unique abilities and future archetype potential.
And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.
