Best Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Journey back in time with Marvel Snap's Prehistoric Avengers season! The season's standout card, and arguably the most powerful, is Agamotto, the ancient sorcerer with ties to Doctor Strange. 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 game-changing 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. These Arcana, lacking power cost, are Skill cards, not character cards. They're played, then banished—not discarded or destroyed, and cannot be replayed. This means they combo with Wong but not Odin; King Etri won't pull Agamotto, and Ravonna Renslayer or Mister Negative won't affect them. Agamotto's versatility makes him difficult to categorize into a single archetype.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

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

Wiccan Control

This deck (see Untapped.gg for list) is expensive, featuring many Series 5 cards. While most cards are replaceable with similar-cost alternatives, the core synergy revolves around leveraging Agamotto's Arcana. Temporal Manipulation helps you draw Agamotto early; Wombs of Watoomb provides disruption; Images of Ikonn creates powerful board states by copying your strongest card, potentially multiplying the effects of Cassandra Nova or Galacta. Bolts of Balthakk provides crucial extra energy, ensuring a strong late game even if you don't draw Wiccan early.

Push Scream

This deck (see Untapped.gg for list) is also expensive, with several Series 5 cards. While fewer cards directly synergize with Agamotto (primarily Wombs of Watoomb), the Arcana add unpredictable elements. Temporal Manipulation boosts Agamotto's power, while Images of Ikonn can create multiple Screams or other high-power cards for overwhelming board control. This deck’s flexibility counters decks using Luke Cage and Shadow King.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto's power level rivals Thanos or Arishem. He'll likely shift in and out of the meta, creating both opportunities and frustration. His potential to define a new archetype makes the 9.99 USD Season Pass a worthwhile investment if you have the budget.
