Best Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Journey back in time with Marvel Snap's Prehistoric Avengers season! The Season Pass boasts Agamotto, a powerful ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, as its centerpiece card. Let's explore the best Agamotto decks currently available.

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 character cards), and possess the "Banish" keyword. They're played, then banished, never entering the discard pile. This means they can't be retrieved. Consequently, they combo with Wong but not Odin; King Etri won't pull Agamotto, and Ravonna Renslayer or Mister Negative won't affect their cost.

Agamotto's diverse Arcana effects make him adaptable but also prevent him from fitting neatly into a single archetype.

Top Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While a dedicated Agamotto archetype might emerge later, he currently slots well into two existing deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.

Wiccan Control Deck:

Quicksilver, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Cassandra Nova, Rocket & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Wiccan, Agamotto, Alioth. [Untapped decklist link here]

This deck is expensive, featuring many Series 5 cards. While Quicksilver is the only non-Series 5 card, many cards are replaceable with similar-cost alternatives. Bolts of Balthakk compensates for potentially not drawing Wiccan by turn 4. The Arcana synergize well; Temporal Manipulation retrieves Agamotto, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts, and Images of Ikonn creates powerful board states, especially with Cassandra Nova or Galactus. Eson, another new card, complements Cassandra Nova in Arishem decks.

Push Scream Deck:

Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Kraven, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Spider-Man, Rocket & Groot, Miles Morales, Stegron, Cannonball, Agamotto. [Untapped decklist link here]

This deck is also expensive (Series 5 cards: Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Rocket & Groot, Cannonball). Hydra Bob can be replaced with Nightcrawler, and Iron Patriot with Jeff. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a strong turn 6 play, and Images of Ikonn can create multiple Screams, Spider-Mans, or Cannonballs. This deck becomes less predictable and offers counters 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 fluctuate in meta relevance, causing disruption and potentially frustrating opponents. His future archetype potential makes the 9.99 USD Season Pass a worthwhile investment if you have the budget.
