*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a thrilling journey back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season. The spotlight of this season is on Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, who is poised to be one of the most powerful cards in the game. Here's a deep dive into the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards are:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card 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 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 that reads, "On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)"
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that reads, "On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)"
The Ancient Arcana cards are unique in that they lack a Power value and feature the new keyword "Banish." This means they are played and then removed from the game, not entering the discard or destroy piles. This mechanic allows for synergy with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatility makes him challenging to fit into a single archetype, as he can 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 fits well into two existing deck types: 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, featuring several Series 5 cards. If you're not up to date with season passes, this might not be the deck for you. However, most cards can be swapped for similar-cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. Bolts of Balthakk's +4 energy boost helps maintain an end-game strategy even if you miss drawing Wiccan. The other Ancient Arcana cards synergize well with this deck, enhancing its control and power potential.
Next, let's look at 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, but 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 cards add unpredictability and strategic depth, making this deck less predictable and more versatile against opponents.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, is a card that rivals the likes of Thanos or Arishem. His potential to disrupt the meta and create powerful synergies makes him a must-have for players looking to stay competitive. At 9.99 USD, the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass is a worthwhile investment for those with the budget, especially considering Agamotto's potential to forge his own archetype in the future.
And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the game and experience the power of the ancient sorcerer for yourself.
