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 and ally of 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 a unique 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 "Banish" keyword. Ancient Arcana have no power cost, classifying them as Skill cards. They're played, then banished—they don't go to the discard pile and can't be replayed. This means synergies with cards like Wong are possible, but Odin or Mister Negative won't affect them.

Agamotto's diverse Arcana effects make him difficult to categorize into a single archetype. His presence diversifies a deck, potentially impacting specific strategies.

Top Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While Agamotto's definitive archetype may take time to emerge, he currently fits well into two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.

Wiccan Control

This deck (available via Untapped.gg) features Quicksilver, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Cassandra Nova, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Copycat, Galacta, Wiccan, Agamotto, and Alioth. Note: This deck is expensive, primarily consisting of Series 5 cards. Many cards can be substituted with similar cost alternatives, except perhaps Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto.

Bolts of Balthakk provides crucial late-game energy even if Wiccan isn't drawn early. Temporal Manipulation helps get Agamotto into your hand quickly. Wombs of Watoomb disrupts opponents, and Images of Ikonn can create powerful board states by copying high-power cards like Cassandra Nova or Galacta. Cassandra Nova's synergy with Eson (another new card) is also worth noting.

Push Scream

Another expensive deck (Untapped.gg) includes Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Kraven, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Spider-Man, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Stegron, Cannonball, and Agamotto. Substitutions are possible for Hydra Bob (Nightcrawler), Iron Patriot (Jeff), and others.

Here, Wombs of Watoomb is the primary synergy. Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a strong turn 6 play, especially after Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn can create multiple copies of Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball for devastating board control. This deck's unpredictability makes it surprisingly effective against Luke Cage and Shadow King decks.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto, if un-nerfed, is comparable in power level to Thanos or Arishem. His impact on the meta will be significant, creating new strategies and potentially frustrating opponents. His future archetype potential makes the $9.99 USD Season Pass a worthwhile investment for many players.
