Top Agamotto Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

*Marvel Snap* is diving into the past with its exciting Prehistoric Avengers season, featuring the powerful Season Pass card, Agamotto. This ancient sorcerer, closely tied to Doctor Strange, is set to shake up the meta with his unique abilities. Let's explore how Agamotto works and the best decks to harness his power in *Marvel Snap*.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with an ability that reads: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck."

The Ancient Arcana cards shuffled into your deck include:

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

The Ancient Arcana cards do not have a Power cost and feature a new keyword, "Banish." This means they are classified as Skill cards and are removed from play after use, without entering the discard or destroy piles. As a result, they cannot be reused or brought back into play. You can combo these with Wong, but they won't trigger with Odin. Additionally, cards like King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, and Mister Negative won't affect them.

Given the diverse effects of the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto can fit into various deck archetypes, though his inclusion might dilute the deck's focus and make specific gameplans harder to execute.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is poised to create his own archetype, which might take some time to fully develop. Initially, he fits well into two types of decks: 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 pricier side, with most cards being from Series 5. The only non-Series 5 card is Quicksilver, making this deck less accessible for players who haven't kept up with season passes. However, you can substitute most cards, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto, with similar-cost alternatives.

In a Wiccan deck, typically, you'd avoid diluting your deck to ensure you draw Wiccan by turn 4. However, Bolts of Balthakk provides +4 energy the next turn, allowing for a strong end-game even if you miss Wiccan. The other Ancient Arcana synergize well with this deck. Temporal Manipulation can pull Agamotto from your deck early, increasing your chances of drawing other spells. Wombs of Watoomb offers great disruption, while Images of Ikonn can multiply your most powerful card in a location, enhancing effects like Cassandra Nova's or Wiccan's, or even creating multiple Galactas to dominate the final lanes.

Cassandra Nova might see increased play, especially with Eson, the other card released with Agamotto, fitting well into Arishem decks.

Moving on to 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 includes several Series 5 cards, making it another high-cost option. 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 add valuable effects. Temporal Manipulation can make Agamotto a strong turn 6 play, especially after playing Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn can create multiple Screams, Spider-Mans, or Cannonballs, significantly disrupting your opponent's board.

Agamotto can make this deck less predictable and provide an edge against decks with Luke Cage and Shadow King, making it a worthwhile addition in the right scenarios.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto, if not nerfed, is a card on par with Thanos or Arishem. He's likely to be a meta-shifting force, creating powerful synergies that could be both exciting and challenging for players. As he's expected to eventually form his own archetype, grabbing him for 9.99 USD is a smart move if you have the budget.

And there you have it—the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the Prehistoric Avengers season and harness the power of this ancient sorcerer to dominate your opponents.
