Best Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

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 are Skill cards, lacking power cost, and vanish after use. They can't be recovered. This means you can combo with Wong, but not Odin; King Etri won't pull him, and Ravonna or Mister Negative won't affect him. Agamotto's diverse Arcana make him adaptable but challenging to integrate into a single archetype.

Best Early Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While a dedicated Agamotto archetype may emerge, he currently fits well into two existing styles: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.

Wiccan Control

This deck (available via Untapped link [ttpp]) features several Series 5 cards, making it expensive. However, many cards are replaceable with similar-cost alternatives. Bolts of Balthakk provides late-game energy even if you miss Wiccan. Temporal Manipulation retrieves Agamotto early, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts, and Images of Ikonn creates powerful board states, especially with Cassandra Nova or Galacta. Cassandra Nova's synergy is further boosted by the season's other card, Eson, for Arishem decks.

Push Scream

This deck (Untapped link [ttpp]) also includes multiple Series 5 cards (replaceable with similar cards, e.g., Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob, Jeff for Iron Patriot). While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, Temporal Manipulation boosts his late-game power after Bolts of Balthakk, and Images of Ikonn creates multiple Screams, Spider-Mans, or Cannonballs for overwhelming board presence. This adds unpredictability and counters Luke Cage/Shadow King decks.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto, if un-nerfed, rivals Thanos or Arishem in power. His potential for disruptive synergies and future archetype creation justifies the 9.99 USD price if you have the budget.
