*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a thrilling journey back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing the powerful Season Pass card, Agamotto. This ancient sorcerer, closely associated with Doctor Strange, is set to shake up the meta with his unique abilities. Here are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap* to help you dominate the competition.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a formidable 5-cost, 10-power card with an intriguing ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards are:
- 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.)"
These Ancient Arcana cards are unique as they lack a Power cost and feature the "Banish" keyword, meaning they are played to the board and removed from the game after their effect, not entering the discard or destroy piles. This mechanic allows them to synergize with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatility makes him a challenging card to categorize into a single archetype, as his inclusion can dilute a deck's focus.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is poised to carve out his own archetype, which might take a week or two to fully develop. However, he fits well into two existing deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Let's dive into the Wiccan Control deck first:
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. The only non-Series 5 card is Quicksilver, making it less accessible for players who haven't kept up with recent season passes. However, most cards can be substituted with similar-cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. The inclusion of Bolts of Balthakk allows for an energy boost, enabling a strong end-game even if Wiccan is not drawn by turn 4. The other Ancient Arcana cards enhance the deck's strategy: Temporal Manipulation helps draw Agamotto early, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts opponents, and Images of Ikonn can amplify the power of key cards like Cassandra Nova, Wiccan, or Galacta.
Cassandra Nova may see increased play, especially with Eson, another card released alongside Agamotto, fitting well into Arishem decks.
The Scream Push deck, which was a top performer last month, also benefits from Agamotto's inclusion:
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 also expensive, with several Series 5 cards. Substitutes for Hydra Bob and Iron Patriot include Nightcrawler and Jeff, respectively. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana cards add unpredictability and versatility. Temporal Manipulation can set up a powerful turn 6 play, and Images of Ikonn can create multiple copies of key cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, disrupting the opponent's strategy.
Agamotto's addition to the Scream Push deck can make it less predictable and provide an edge against decks featuring Luke Cage and Shadow King.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, is a card that rivals the power of Thanos or Arishem. His potential to create new archetypes and disrupt the meta makes him a valuable addition to any collection. For $9.99, securing Agamotto through the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass is a wise investment for players looking to stay competitive.
And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Get ready to harness the power of this ancient sorcerer and dominate the battlefield.
