Top Agamotto Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

*Marvel Snap* is diving into the past with its exciting Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing Agamotto, the ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, as the Season Pass card. Agamotto promises to be a game-changer with his unique abilities. Here's a detailed look at how Agamotto works and the best decks to utilize his power in *Marvel Snap*.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a 5-cost card with a robust 10 power. His ability is intriguing: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana include:

• 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 that states, "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 that reads, "On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)"

These Ancient Arcana are categorized as Skill cards, lacking a power value and featuring the new "Banish" keyword. They're played and then removed from play without entering the discard or destroy piles, which means they can't be reused or interacted with in traditional ways. This limits their synergy to certain cards like Wong, but excludes them from being triggered by Odin or affected by cards like King Etri or Ravonna Renslayer.

Given the diverse effects of the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto doesn't fit neatly into one archetype, as his inclusion dilutes deck strategies, making it challenging to execute specific game plans.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is poised to create a new archetype, but until that fully develops, he can be effectively integrated into two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Let's explore 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 costly, featuring several Series 5 cards. It's not ideal for players who haven't been keeping up with recent season passes. However, you can substitute most cards with similar cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto.

Although adding Agamotto dilutes the deck, making it harder to find Wiccan by turn 4, Bolts of Balthakk compensates by providing +4 energy the next turn, enabling a strong end-game play even if you miss Wiccan. The other Ancient Arcana also enhance this deck's strategy: Temporal Manipulation can pull Agamotto out early, increasing the chance to hit other spells; Wombs of Watoomb offers great disruption; and Images of Ikonn can multiply your most powerful card, such as Cassandra Nova or Galacta, to dominate multiple lanes.

The Scream Push deck is another excellent choice for 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 is also on the expensive side, with several Series 5 cards. 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 enhance the deck's unpredictability and effectiveness. Temporal Manipulation can turn Agamotto into a formidable turn 6 play, especially after Bolts of Balthakk, and Images of Ikonn can multiply key cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, disrupting your opponent's strategy.

Incorporating Agamotto into this deck adds versatility and provides an edge against opponents using Luke Cage and Shadow King.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto is a powerhouse card akin to Thanos or Arishem, likely to shift in and out of the meta. His potential to create new archetypes and cause disruption with powerful synergies makes him a must-have for just 9.99 USD, provided he remains un-nerfed.

In conclusion, Agamotto opens up exciting new possibilities in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you choose to integrate him into existing strategies or await the development of his unique archetype, he's sure to shake up the game.
