*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a thrilling journey back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season. The spotlight of this season is on Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, who is poised to be one of the most powerful cards in the game. Here's a deep dive into the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards are:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that reads, "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 that reads, "On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)"
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that reads, "On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)"
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that reads, "On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)"
The Ancient Arcana cards are classified as Skill cards due to their lack of Power cost and feature a new keyword, "Banish," which means they are removed from play after their effect is triggered, without entering the discard or destroy piles. This mechanic allows for synergy with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Agamotto's versatility makes him a challenging card to fit into a single archetype, as he dilutes the deck's focus.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is expected to carve out his own archetype, but in the meantime, he fits well into two existing 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 on the pricier side, featuring several Series 5 cards. If you're not up to date with season passes, you might find it challenging to assemble. However, most cards can be substituted with similar-cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. The Ancient Arcana synergize well with this deck, enhancing its control and power dynamics.
Next, let's look at the Push Scream deck:
- 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 leans on the expensive side, with several Series 5 cards. Substitutions like Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot can be made. Agamotto adds unpredictability and strategic depth to this deck, particularly with the powerful effects of the Ancient Arcana.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, if not nerfed, stands to be a game-changer akin to Thanos or Arishem. His potential to disrupt the meta and create new archetypes makes him a worthwhile investment at 9.99 USD for those looking to stay competitive and explore new strategies.
And there you have it—the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the Prehistoric Avengers season and harness the power of Agamotto to dominate your opponents.
