*Marvel Snap* is taking us on a thrilling journey back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season. The spotlight of the Season Pass is on Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, who is poised to be one of the game's most powerful cards. Let's dive into the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap* and explore how this enigmatic card can revolutionize your gameplay.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card that comes with a unique ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana are:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card with the ability "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 with the ability "On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)"
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card with the ability "On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)"
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card with the ability "On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)"
These Ancient Arcana cards do not have a Power value and feature a new keyword, "Banish," which means they are removed from play after use and do not enter the discard or destroy piles. This classification as Skill cards, rather than character cards, means they cannot be affected by cards like Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Their unique mechanics make Agamotto versatile, yet challenging to fit into a single archetype due to deck dilution.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is set to carve out his own niche, but initially, he's likely to shine in two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Let's explore the Wiccan Control deck first:
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 packed with Series 5 cards, making it a high-investment choice. If you're not up to date with season passes, you might struggle to assemble it. However, most cards can be swapped for similar-cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. The inclusion of Bolts of Balthakk allows for an energy boost, enabling powerful end-game plays even if you miss Wiccan. The other Ancient Arcana synergize well, with Temporal Manipulation helping to draw Agamotto early, Wombs of Watoomb offering disruption, and Images of Ikonn amplifying the power of your strongest cards like Cassandra Nova, Wiccan, or Galacta.
For those who enjoyed last month's top deck, Scream Push, Agamotto can add an exciting twist:
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 is also on the pricier side, with several Series 5 cards. You can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff if needed. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana add unpredictability and versatility. Temporal Manipulation can set up a strong turn 6 play with Agamotto, and Images of Ikonn can multiply the impact of key cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, making your strategy less predictable and more resilient against cards like Luke Cage and Shadow King.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
If Agamotto remains un-nerfed, he could become a game-changer similar to Thanos or Arishem, fluctuating in and out of the meta with potent synergies. Given his potential to forge his own archetype, the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass at 9.99 USD is a worthwhile investment for players looking to stay ahead of the curve.
And there you have it—the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. With the right strategy, Agamotto can elevate your gameplay to new heights. *Marvel Snap* is available to play now, so why not jump in and start experimenting with these powerful decks?
