Marvel Snap: Top Agamotto Decks Revealed

Journey back in time with Marvel Snap's Prehistoric Avengers season! The Season Pass introduces Agamotto, a powerful ancient sorcerer, and this guide explores the best decks to utilize his unique abilities.

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. Ancient Arcana have no power cost, are considered Skill cards (not character cards), and vanish after use. They can't be retrieved. This means they combo with Wong but not Odin; King Etri won't pull Agamotto, and Ravonna Renslayer or Mister Negative won't affect them. Agamotto's diverse Arcana make him adaptable but challenging to build around.

Best Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While Agamotto may eventually define his own archetype, he currently shines in two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.

Wiccan Control

This deck (Quicksilver, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Cassandra Nova, Rocket & Groot, Copycat, Galacta, Wiccan, Agamotto, Alioth) is expensive, featuring mostly Series 5 cards. However, many cards are replaceable with similar-cost alternatives. Bolts of Balthakk provides late-game energy even if you miss Wiccan. Temporal Manipulation brings Agamotto out early; Wombs of Watoomb disrupts; Images of Ikonn multiplies your strongest card, potentially creating multiple Galactas or triggering Cassandra Nova repeatedly. This deck benefits from the synergy between Agamotto's Arcana and existing Wiccan Control strategies.

Push Scream

This deck (Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Kraven, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Spider-Man, Rocket & Groot, Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Stegron, Cannonball, Agamotto) is also expensive (Series 5 cards include Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Rocket & Groot, and Cannonball). Replacements include Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot. While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes, Temporal Manipulation boosts Agamotto's late-game impact, and Images of Ikonn can create multiple Screams or Spider-Men for overwhelming board presence. Agamotto adds unpredictability and counters decks featuring Luke Cage and Shadow King.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto's power level rivals Thanos or Arishem. He'll likely cycle in and out of the meta, causing significant disruption. His potential to form a unique archetype makes the Season Pass a worthwhile purchase (9.99 USD) for many players.
