The *Marvel Snap* Prehistoric Avengers season brings a thrilling twist with its Season Pass card, Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange. Here, we'll dive into the best Agamotto decks to help you dominate the game.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a powerhouse, coming in as a 5-cost, 10-power card with the ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards include:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that boosts Agamotto by +3 Power and returns him to your hand if not in play. (Banish this.)
- Wombs of Watoomb: A 2-cost card that reduces an enemy's power by -5 and moves it right. (Banish this.)
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that grants +4 Energy the next turn. (Banish this.)
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that transforms other cards in the location into copies of the highest-Power card. (Banish this.)
The Ancient Arcana don't have a Power cost, categorizing them as Skill cards, and feature a new "Banish" keyword, meaning they're removed from play after use without entering discard or destroy piles. This unique mechanic allows synergy with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatile Ancient Arcana make him challenging to pin to a single archetype, as they can dilute a deck's focus.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is poised to create his own archetype, but initially, he fits well into Wiccan Control and Push Scream decks. Here's an example of a 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, primarily composed of Series 5 cards, is costly but flexible. Bolts of Balthakk's +4 energy boost compensates for the dilution effect, allowing for powerful end-game moves even if Wiccan is missed. Temporal Manipulation helps draw Agamotto early, while Wombs of Watoomb and Images of Ikonn enhance disruption and amplify powerful card effects, respectively.
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
While this deck also features high-cost Series 5 cards, Agamotto adds unpredictability and counters to Luke Cage and Shadow King decks. Temporal Manipulation and Bolts of Balthakk set up strong turn 6 plays, and Images of Ikonn can multiply disruptive cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto is a game-changer akin to Thanos or Arishem, likely to shift the meta and create new archetypes. If he remains un-nerfed, he's a must-have for just $9.99 USD, offering significant value for players eager to explore his potential.
And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the game now and experience the power of the Prehistoric Avengers season firsthand.
