Top Agamotto Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a thrilling journey back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season, and at the forefront is the Season Pass card, Agamotto. This ancient sorcerer, closely associated with Doctor Strange, is poised to shake up the meta with his unique abilities. Let's dive into how Agamotto works and explore the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with an intriguing ability: “Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck.” These Ancient Arcana are special cards that enhance Agamotto's versatility and impact on the game:

• 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 lack a Power cost, classifying them as Skill cards rather than character cards. They are played to the board and "banished" after use, meaning they won't enter the discard or destroy piles and can't be brought back into play. This unique mechanic opens up specific synergies, such as with Wong, while preventing combos with cards like Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, and Mister Negative. Given the diverse effects of the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto can fit into various deck archetypes, though he may dilute a deck's focus.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is likely to carve out his own archetype, but in the meantime, he can be effectively integrated into existing decks. Two standout decks for Agamotto are Wiccan Control and Push Scream:

Wiccan Control Deck

This deck is designed for high-level play and features several Series 5 cards:

• Quicksilver
• Hydra Bob
• Hawkeye
• Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sam Wilson
• Captain America
• Cassandra Nova
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Copycat
• Galacta
• Wiccan
• Agamotto
• Alioth

You can copy this list from Untapped. Note that this is an expensive deck, with Quicksilver being the only non-Series 5 card. However, most cards can be swapped for similar cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. The deck leverages Bolts of Balthakk to gain extra energy, allowing for powerful end-game plays even if you miss drawing Wiccan early. Temporal Manipulation helps pull Agamotto out early, increasing the chance of hitting other spells. Wombs of Watoomb provides disruption, while Images of Ikonn can multiply the effects of high-power cards like Cassandra Nova, Wiccan, or Galacta, significantly boosting your board presence.

Cassandra Nova may see increased play due to the release of Eson alongside Agamotto, which fits well into Arishem decks.

Push Scream Deck

Another potent deck for Agamotto is the Push Scream strategy:

• Hydra Bob
• Scream
• Iron Patriot
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson
• Captain America
• Spider-Man
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Miles Morales Spider-Man
• Stegron
• Cannonball
• Agamotto

You can copy this list from Untapped. This deck also features several Series 5 cards, but you can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana enhance the deck's unpredictability. Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a powerful turn 6 play, especially after playing Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn can multiply the effects of cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, disrupting your opponent's strategy. Agamotto adds unpredictability and counters to decks running Luke Cage and Shadow King, potentially making this deck even stronger.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto, if not nerfed, is a card on par with Thanos or Arishem. His potential to disrupt the meta and create powerful synergies makes him a valuable addition to your collection. Given his likely role in shaping future archetypes, the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass is a worthwhile investment at 9.99 USD.

And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, these decks offer exciting ways to leverage Agamotto's unique abilities.
