Top Agamotto Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a journey back in time with its exciting Prehistoric Avengers season. The highlight of this season is the introduction of Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer closely associated with Doctor Strange. Agamotto is set to be a powerhouse in the game, and here are the best decks to maximize his potential in *Marvel Snap*.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a formidable 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability that activates at the start of the game: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards, which are shuffled into your deck, include:

• Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card with the ability "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 the ability "On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)"
• Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card with the ability "On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)"
• Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card with the ability "On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)"

The Ancient Arcana cards don't have a Power cost and feature the new keyword "Banish," meaning they are removed from the game after being played without entering the discard or destroy piles. This makes them Skill cards rather than character cards, which impacts how they interact with other cards in the game. For instance, they can be combined with Wong but not triggered by Odin, and they won't be affected by cards like King Etri or Ravonna Renslayer.

Given the diverse effects of the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto's versatility makes him challenging to pigeonhole into a single archetype, as he can dilute a deck's focus. However, he is likely to carve out his own archetype in due time.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is expected to form his own archetype, which may take some time to fully develop. In the meantime, he fits well into two types of decks: 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 expensive side, featuring several Series 5 cards, with Quicksilver being the only non-Series 5 card. If you haven't kept up with previous 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. The Ancient Arcana synergize well with this deck, especially Bolts of Balthakk, which provides an energy boost, and Images of Ikonn, which can amplify the effects of powerful cards like Cassandra Nova or Galacta.

Another excellent deck for Agamotto is 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 leans on the pricier side with several Series 5 cards. Alternatives like Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot can be used if needed. Agamotto adds unpredictability to this deck, particularly with the Images of Ikonn, which can create multiple copies of disruptive cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto is poised to be a game-changer, akin to Thanos or Arishem, potentially cycling in and out of the meta with powerful synergies. If you have the budget of $9.99 USD, grabbing Agamotto could be a wise investment, especially as he is likely to forge his own archetype in the future.

And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the prehistoric fun and strategic depth that Agamotto brings to the game!
