Best Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a thrilling journey back in time with its Prehistoric Avengers season, and the spotlight is on Agamotto, the ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange. As the Season Pass card, Agamotto is poised to be a game-changer, and here’s how you can make the most of him with the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: “Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck.” These Ancient Arcana are:

Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that states: “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 with: “On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)”
Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that reads: “On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)”
Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card with: “On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)”

These Ancient Arcana are classified as Skill cards without a Power cost and feature the new keyword "Banish." Once played, they are removed from the game and do not enter discard or destroy piles, which means they can't be brought back into play. This mechanic allows for interesting synergies with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatility makes him difficult to pigeonhole into one archetype, as he can dilute a deck's focus.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While Agamotto might eventually carve out his own archetype, initially, he fits well into two existing deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Let's start with 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 on the expensive side, featuring multiple Series 5 cards. The only non-Series 5 card is Quicksilver, making it less accessible for players who haven't been keeping up with season passes. However, you can swap out most cards except Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto for similar cost alternatives.

The synergy between Agamotto and Wiccan Control is strong. Bolts of Balthakk provides an additional +4 energy, allowing for powerful end-game plays even if you miss Wiccan on turn 4. Temporal Manipulation helps pull Agamotto early, increasing the chance of drawing other spells. Wombs of Watoomb offers great disruption, while Images of Ikonn can amplify your strongest cards, such as Cassandra Nova or Galacta, to dominate the board.

Next up, let's look at the Push Scream deck:

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 the pricier side, with several Series 5 cards. You can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff if needed. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana enhance the deck's unpredictability. Temporal Manipulation can set up Agamotto for a powerful turn 6 play, especially after Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn can multiply key cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, disrupting your opponent's strategy.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto, if not nerfed, is comparable to powerhouses like Thanos or Arishem. He's likely to shift in and out of the meta, creating powerful synergies that could be both exciting and challenging for opponents. Given his potential to form a new archetype, the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass at 9.99 USD is a worthwhile investment for those looking to stay competitive.

And there you have it—the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you're diving into Wiccan Control or experimenting with Push Scream, Agamotto's versatility offers plenty of strategic depth to explore.
