*Marvel Snap* is taking players back in time with the exciting Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing the powerful Season Pass card, Agamotto. This ancient sorcerer, closely tied to Doctor Strange, brings a unique set of abilities that can transform your gameplay. Let's dive into how Agamotto works and explore the best decks to maximize his potential in *Marvel Snap*.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with a game-changing ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards are:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that boosts Agamotto by +3 Power and returns him to your hand if he's not in play. (Banish this.)
- Wombs of Watoomb: A 2-cost card that reduces an enemy card's Power by -5 and moves it right. (Banish this.)
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that grants you +4 Energy on your next turn. (Banish this.)
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that transforms other cards in the same location into copies of the highest-Power card there. (Banish this.)
These Ancient Arcana cards do not have a Power cost, categorizing them as Skill cards rather than character cards. Upon playing, they are banished, meaning they won't enter the discard or destroy piles and cannot be reused. This mechanic allows for synergy with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatility makes him a challenging fit into one specific archetype, as he can dilute a deck's focus.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is poised to create his own archetype, but until then, he can be seamlessly integrated into existing decks. Here are two recommended decks:
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 heavily reliant on Series 5 cards, making it a premium choice. However, you can replace most cards with similar-cost alternatives if needed. The Ancient Arcana cards synergize well here: Temporal Manipulation can pull Agamotto early, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts the opponent, and Images of Ikonn can amplify the power of key cards like Cassandra Nova, Wiccan, or Galacta.
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
This deck also features several Series 5 cards but offers flexibility in card swaps. Agamotto's Ancient Arcana can enhance this deck's unpredictability. Temporal Manipulation sets up Agamotto as a powerful turn 6 play, while Images of Ikonn can multiply key cards like Scream or Cannonball, significantly disrupting your opponent's strategy.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, is poised to be a game-changer akin to Thanos or Arishem. His ability to create powerful synergies will likely keep him in and out of the meta, making him a worthwhile addition for players looking to stay competitive. At 9.99 USD, the Season Pass is a valuable investment for those aiming to leverage Agamotto's potential and anticipate his future archetype.
And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the Prehistoric Avengers season and harness the power of Agamotto to dominate your opponents.
