Journey back in time with Marvel Snap's Prehistoric Avengers season! The season's standout card, and arguably the most powerful, is Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer with deep 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—they don't go to the discard pile and can't 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 their cost. Agamotto's diverse Arcana effects make him difficult to categorize into a single archetype, as he inherently adds deck variability.
Top Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
While a dedicated Agamotto archetype may emerge, he currently fits well into two existing deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.
Wiccan Control
This deck (available via Untapped.gg link) features Quicksilver, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Cassandra Nova, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Copycat, Galacta, Wiccan, Agamotto, and Alioth. Note that this is a high-cost deck with many Series 5 cards. Many cards (excluding Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto) can be substituted with similar-cost alternatives. Bolts of Balthakk provides crucial late-game energy even if Wiccan isn't drawn early. Temporal Manipulation ensures Agamotto's early appearance, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts opponents, and Images of Ikonn creates powerful board states, especially with Cassandra Nova or Galacta.
Push Scream
This deck (also available via Untapped.gg link) includes Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Kraven, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Spider-Man, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Stegron, Cannonball, and Agamotto. Again, many Series 5 cards are present (Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, and Cannonball; consider Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot). Wombs of Watoomb is the primary synergy here, but Temporal Manipulation boosts Agamotto's late-game power, and Images of Ikonn creates multiple copies of high-power cards like Scream or Spider-Man. This deck's unpredictability provides an advantage against Luke Cage and Shadow King decks.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto's power level rivals Thanos or Arishem; he'll be a meta-shifting card, potentially frustrating opponents with his powerful synergies. His potential to create a new archetype makes the $9.99 USD Season Pass a worthwhile investment if you have the budget.
