*Marvel Snap* is diving into the past with the Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, as the Season Pass card. Known for his potential power, Agamotto is set to shake up the game. Let's explore the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap* and how you can leverage his unique abilities.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost card with a whopping 10 power. His ability kicks in at the start of the game, shuffling 4 Ancient Arcana cards into your deck:
- 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 granting +4 Energy on your next turn. (Banish this.)
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that transforms your other cards in the same location into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)
These Ancient Arcana cards lack a power value and feature the new "Banish" keyword, meaning they are removed from play after their effect is used and do not enter the discard or destroy piles. This mechanic allows for unique combos with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Due to the variety of effects from these Arcana cards, Agamotto can fit into multiple archetypes but may dilute a deck's focus.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
While Agamotto may eventually carve out his own archetype, he can currently be integrated into existing decks such as Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Here's a look at the 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 choice. However, most cards can be swapped with similar-cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. Bolts of Balthakk can help maintain an end-game push even if Wiccan is not drawn on time. Temporal Manipulation can pull Agamotto early, while Wombs of Watoomb offers great disruption. Images of Ikonn can multiply the impact of your powerful cards, especially Cassandra Nova or Galacta.
For those who enjoyed last month's Scream Push deck, Agamotto can be a valuable addition:
- 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 includes several Series 5 cards, but substitutions like Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot can be made. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Arcana cards enhance the deck's unpredictability and effectiveness against certain opponents.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, akin to Thanos or Arishem, has the potential to be a meta-defining card. His versatility and the powerful synergies he enables suggest he will be a valuable addition to many decks. If you have the budget, investing in the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass for 9.99 USD could be a wise choice, especially considering his potential to forge new archetypes.
And there you have it – the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the game and experiment with these strategies to dominate the battlefield with this ancient sorcerer.
