*Marvel Snap* enthusiasts, get ready to dive into the past with the Prehistoric Avengers season. The star of this season's pass is none other than Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer closely linked with Doctor Strange. Here’s a look at the best Agamotto decks to dominate in *Marvel Snap*.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a formidable 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: “Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck.” These Ancient Arcana cards each offer distinct advantages:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that says, “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 provides “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.)”
The Ancient Arcana cards are classified as Skill cards, lacking a Power cost and featuring the new 'Banish' keyword. This means they are played and then removed from the game, not entering the discard or destroy piles, which affects how they interact with other cards. For example, they synergize well with Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative.
Agamotto's versatility makes him challenging to pin down to a single archetype, as he can dilute a deck's focus, making specific strategies harder to execute.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is poised to form his own unique archetype, but until that fully develops, he fits well into two existing deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.
Wiccan Control Deck
Here’s the Wiccan Control deck featuring Agamotto:
- 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, which you can copy from Untapped, is pricey with multiple Series 5 cards. It’s ideal for players who've kept up with season passes, though most cards can be substituted for similar-cost alternatives except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. Bolts of Balthakk allows for a powerful endgame even if you don't draw Wiccan early, and the other Ancient Arcana enhance the deck's strategy.
Push Scream Deck
Here’s the Push Scream deck with Agamotto:
- 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, available to copy from Untapped, is also on the expensive side with several Series 5 cards. However, you can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff. Agamotto adds unpredictability and counters to decks with Luke Cage and Shadow King.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, will be a game-changer akin to Thanos or Arishem. His potential to create powerful synergies and form a new archetype makes him a valuable asset for just 9.99 USD.
That wraps up the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Get ready to harness the power of the ancient sorcerer and dominate the prehistoric battlefield!
