*Marvel Snap* is taking players back to the dawn of time with its Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing the formidable Season Pass card, Agamotto. This ancient sorcerer, closely linked to Doctor Strange, is poised to shake up the meta with his unique abilities. Here’s a detailed look at how Agamotto works and the best decks to use him in.
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 Ancient Arcana 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 lack a Power value and are classified as Skill cards, not character cards. Upon use, they are banished, meaning they do not go into the discard or destroy piles and cannot be brought back into play. This makes them compatible with Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatility with different Ancient Arcana effects makes him hard to pin down to a single archetype, potentially diluting specific strategies.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is expected to carve out his own archetype eventually, but for now, he fits well into two established decks: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.
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 heavy on Series 5 cards, making it a premium option. Quicksilver is the only non-Series 5 card, so it might not be accessible to all players. However, most cards can be substituted with similar-cost alternatives except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. Bolts of Balthakk's +4 energy boost can compensate for missing Wiccan by turn 4, ensuring a strong endgame. Temporal Manipulation helps pull Agamotto early, enhancing your chances of drawing other spells. Wombs of Watoomb offers disruption, while Images of Ikonn can multiply powerful cards like Cassandra Nova, Wiccan, or Galacta, significantly boosting your late-game strategy.
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
Another high-cost deck, this one includes several Series 5 cards. You can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff if needed. While Wombs of Watoomb synergizes directly with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana add valuable unpredictability. Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a strong turn 6 play, especially after playing Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn can duplicate cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, disrupting your opponent's plans. Agamotto’s inclusion makes this deck less predictable and offers counterplay against decks with Luke Cage and Shadow King.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, will be a powerhouse akin to Thanos or Arishem, likely to be a meta staple with his powerful synergies. As he is expected to eventually form his own archetype, purchasing the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass for $9.99 USD is a wise move if you’re looking to stay competitive.
And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the prehistoric era and harness the power of Agamotto to dominate your opponents.
