*Marvel Snap* is diving into the past with its exciting Prehistoric Avengers season. At the heart of this season lies Agamotto, a formidable ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, and the star of the Season Pass. Here's a deep dive into the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap* and how to make the most of this powerful card.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost card with a hefty 10-power punch, and its unique ability states: “Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck.” These Ancient Arcana cards, which include Temporal Manipulation, Wombs of Watoomb, Bolts of Balthakk, and Images of Ikonn, each bring unique effects to the table:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that boosts Agamotto by +3 Power and returns him to your hand if not in play, then banishes itself.
- Wombs of Watoomb: A 2-cost card that reduces an enemy card's power by -5 and moves it right, then banishes itself.
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that gives you +4 Energy the next turn, then banishes itself.
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that transforms your other cards in the location into copies of the highest-Power one, then banishes itself.
These Ancient Arcana cards are classified as Skill cards due to their lack of a Power cost and feature the new 'Banish' keyword, which means they disappear after being played without entering the discard or destroy piles. This mechanic allows for interesting synergies with cards like Wong but not with Odin or King Etri. Due to the variety of effects, Agamotto can fit into multiple deck archetypes, although his inclusion dilutes the deck's focus.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is poised to carve out his own archetype, but until then, he can enhance existing deck types. Here are two powerful decks where Agamotto can shine:
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 heavy on Series 5 cards, making it a premium choice. The strategy leverages Bolts of Balthakk to gain extra energy, enabling big plays even if Wiccan isn't drawn on time. Temporal Manipulation helps pull Agamotto out early, while Wombs of Watoomb offers disruption. Images of Ikonn can multiply the power of your strongest cards, such as Cassandra Nova or Galacta, for massive board control.
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 is another high-cost option, focusing on disruption and control. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana cards add unpredictability and power. Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a strong turn 6 play, and Images of Ikonn can multiply disruptive cards like Scream or Cannonball, providing a versatile edge against opponents.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, is set to be a game-changer akin to Thanos or Arishem. His ability to create powerful synergies will likely make him a meta staple and a must-have for players looking to stay competitive.
