Best Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Conquer Marvel Snap's time stream with the Prehistoric Avengers season and its formidable new card: Agamotto! This ancient sorcerer, linked to Doctor Strange, is a game-changer. Let's explore the top Agamotto decks currently dominating the meta.

Understanding Agamotto's Mechanics

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: Grants Agamotto +3 Power. Returns him to your hand (if not in play). (Banishes itself.)
• Wombs of Watoomb (2-cost): On Reveal: Inflicts -5 Power on an enemy card in the location and moves it right. (Banishes itself.)
• Bolts of Balthakk (3-cost): On Reveal: Grants +4 Energy next turn. (Banishes itself.)
• Images of Ikonn (4-cost): On Reveal: Transforms other cards in the location into copies of the highest-power card. (Banishes itself.)

Crucially, Ancient Arcana are "Skill" cards, lacking power and banished after use. They don't go to the discard pile and can't be replayed. This means synergies with cards like Wong work, but Odin and Mister Negative don't.

Agamotto's versatility makes him difficult to categorize into a single archetype. His presence subtly alters deck strategies.

Top-Tier Agamotto Decks

While a dedicated Agamotto archetype is likely to emerge, he currently excels in two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.

1. Wiccan Control:

This deck (example list available via Untapped) features several Series 5 cards, making it costly. However, many cards are interchangeable. The core strategy leverages Agamotto's Arcana for powerful effects:

• Temporal Manipulation: Retrieves Agamotto early, boosting consistency.
• Wombs of Watoomb: Provides crucial disruption.
• Images of Ikonn: Creates powerful board states by duplicating high-power cards like Cassandra Nova or Galactus.
• Bolts of Balthakk: Provides crucial extra energy, mitigating the risk of not drawing Wiccan early.

2. Push Scream:

Another high-cost deck (Untapped list available), this one relies on the power of Scream and other high-impact cards. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Arcana offer significant advantages:

• Temporal Manipulation: Makes Agamotto a potent turn 6 play, especially after using Bolts of Balthakk.
• Images of Ikonn: Duplicates key cards like Scream or Spider-Man for overwhelming board control.

Agamotto enhances this deck's unpredictability and provides a counter to decks utilizing Luke Cage and Shadow King.

Should You Invest in the Prehistoric Avengers Pass?

Agamotto's power level rivals Thanos and Arishem. His potential for disruptive and game-winning synergies makes the 9.99 USD Season Pass a worthwhile investment, especially considering his likely future meta dominance and the formation of a dedicated Agamotto archetype. Don't miss out!
