Journey back in time with Marvel Snap's Prehistoric Avengers season! The Season Pass introduces Agamotto, a powerful ancient sorcerer and ally of Doctor Strange, likely to become a game-changer. Let's explore the best Agamotto decks.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with the ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Arcana are:
- Temporal Manipulation (1-cost): On Reveal: Give Agamotto +3 Power. Put him into your hand if he’s not in play. (Banish this.)
- Wombs of Watoomb (2-cost): On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)
- Bolts of Balthakk (3-cost): On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)
- Images of Ikonn (4-cost): On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)
Notice the Arcana lack power cost, are classified as Skill cards (not characters), and have the "Banish" keyword—they disappear after use and can't be reused. This means they combo with Wong but not Odin; King Etri won't pull Agamotto, and Ravonna or Mister Negative won't affect them. Agamotto's diverse Arcana make him difficult to categorize into a single archetype.
Top Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
While Agamotto's ultimate deck archetype may take time to evolve, he currently fits well into two existing strategies: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.
Wiccan Control
This deck (Quicksilver, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Cassandra Nova, Rocket & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Wiccan, Agamotto, Alioth) is expensive, featuring many Series 5 cards. While most cards are replaceable with similar-cost alternatives, Bolts of Balthakk provides crucial late-game energy even if you miss Wiccan. The Arcana synergize well: Temporal Manipulation gets Agamotto into your hand early, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts opponents, and Images of Ikonn multiplies your strongest card, potentially creating multiple Galactus or triggering Wiccan's energy buff repeatedly. Cassandra Nova benefits from the synergy, especially with the new Eson card.
Push Scream
This deck (Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Kraven, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Spider-Man, Rocket & Groot, Miles Morales, Stegron, Cannonball, Agamotto) is also expensive (Series 5 cards include Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Rocket & Groot, and Cannonball). Replacements include Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a powerful turn 6 play, and Images of Ikonn can create multiple Screams or Spider-Men for devastating board control. This deck becomes less predictable with Agamotto, offering a counter to Luke Cage and Shadow King strategies.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if un-nerfed, rivals Thanos and Arishem in power. He will likely shift the meta, causing frustration and creating new powerful synergies. His potential to define a new archetype makes the $9.99 Season Pass a worthwhile investment if you have the budget.
