*Marvel Snap* is diving into the past with the Prehistoric Avengers season, introducing Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange. As the Season Pass card, Agamotto is poised to be a powerhouse in the game. Here's a deep dive into the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." The Ancient Arcana cards shuffled into your deck are:
These Ancient Arcana cards are classified as Skill cards, lacking a Power cost and featuring a new keyword, "Banish." This means they are played and then removed from the game, not entering the discard or destroy piles, and cannot be brought back into play. This mechanic allows for synergy with cards like Wong but not with Odin, King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative. Given the diverse effects of the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto's versatility makes him a challenging card to fit into a specific archetype without diluting the deck's strategy.
Agamotto is likely to create his own archetype, though this may take some time to fully develop. Initially, he fits well into two types of decks: Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Let's explore the Wiccan Control deck:
This deck is expensive, primarily featuring Series 5 cards except for Quicksilver. If you're not up to date with season passes, this might not be the deck for you. However, most cards can be swapped for similar-cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. The inclusion of Bolts of Balthakk helps maintain an end-game flourish even if you miss Wiccan. The other Ancient Arcana synergize effectively with this deck, enhancing gameplay through disruption and power amplification.
Another strong option is the Push Scream deck:
This deck also leans heavily on Series 5 cards, but you can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana enhance the deck's unpredictability and effectiveness, particularly against decks with Luke Cage and Shadow King.
Agamotto, if not nerfed, stands alongside Thanos and Arishem in terms of power. His ability to forge new archetypes and disrupt the meta makes him a valuable addition to any collection. If you have the budget, the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass at 9.99 USD is a worthwhile investment for such a versatile and potentially game-changing card.
And there you have it—the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.
