*Marvel Snap* is taking players back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing Agamotto as the Season Pass card. This ancient sorcerer, closely associated with Doctor Strange, is poised to become a powerhouse within the game. Let's dive into how Agamotto functions and the best decks to utilize him in *Marvel Snap*.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with an intriguing ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards are unique in that they lack a Power cost and feature the new keyword, "Banish," which means they are removed from play after their effect is triggered, without entering the discard or destroy piles.
The four Ancient Arcana cards shuffled into your deck are:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that gives Agamotto +3 Power and returns him to your hand if not in play.
- Wombs of Watoomb: A 2-cost card that reduces an enemy's power by -5 and moves it right.
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that provides +4 Energy on your next turn.
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that transforms other cards in its location into copies of the highest-Power one.
These cards can be synergized with certain cards like Wong but are not affected by Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative due to their unique mechanics. Agamotto's versatility makes him a challenging card to fit into specific archetypes, as he dilutes deck consistency.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
While Agamotto may eventually form his own archetype, he can initially be slotted into two established deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.
Wiccan Control Deck
Here's a Wiccan Control deck featuring Agamotto:
- 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 on the expensive side, featuring several Series 5 cards. Bolts of Balthakk can help maintain energy for late-game plays even if Wiccan is not drawn on time. Temporal Manipulation can pull Agamotto early, increasing the chance of drawing other spells. Wombs of Watoomb provides disruption, and Images of Ikonn can multiply powerful cards like Cassandra Nova or Galacta, significantly impacting the game.
Push Scream Deck
Here's a Push Scream deck that can benefit from Agamotto:
- 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 costly, with several Series 5 cards. Wombs of Watoomb is the primary synergy with Agamotto, but Temporal Manipulation can set up a powerful turn 6 play, especially with Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn can create multiple copies of key cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, disrupting your opponent's strategy.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto is a high-impact card, comparable to Thanos or Arishem. His potential to form new archetypes and cause significant disruptions in the meta makes him a worthwhile investment for those willing to spend 9.99 USD on the Season Pass.
In conclusion, Agamotto brings exciting new strategies to *Marvel Snap*, and these decks are the best ways to harness his power from day one. *Marvel Snap* is available to play now.
