Conquer Marvel Snap's time stream with the Prehistoric Avengers season and its star card: Agamotto! This ancient sorcerer, linked to Doctor Strange, is a game-changer. Let's explore the top Agamotto decks currently shaping the Marvel Snap meta.
Agamotto's Mechanics 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 Arcana are:
- Temporal Manipulation: (1-cost) On Reveal: Grants Agamotto +3 Power. Returns him to your hand (if not in play). (Banishes itself.)
- Wombs of Watoomb: (2-cost) On Reveal: Inflicts -5 Power on an enemy card in the location and moves it right. (Banishes itself.)
- Bolts of Balthakk: (3-cost) On Reveal: Grants +4 Energy next turn. (Banishes itself.)
- Images of Ikonn: (4-cost) On Reveal: Transforms other cards in the location into copies of the highest-power card. (Banishes itself.)
Notice the "Banish" keyword. These Arcana, lacking power cost, are Skill cards, not character cards. They're played, then banished, never entering the discard pile. This means they don't synergize with cards like Odin or King Etri, and their costs aren't affected by Ravonna Renslayer or Mister Negative.
Top Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
Agamotto's versatility makes him adaptable, but two archetypes currently highlight his potential: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.
Wiccan Control:
This deck (available via Untapped.gg) features several Series 5 cards, making it costly. However, many cards are interchangeable. The core strategy utilizes Agamotto's Arcana for disruption and power boosts, especially leveraging Images of Ikonn to multiply high-power cards like Cassandra Nova or Galacta. Bolts of Balthakk ensures late-game energy even if Wiccan isn't drawn early.
Push Scream:
Another high-cost deck (also available on Untapped.gg), this strategy benefits from Agamotto's Arcana in different ways. Wombs of Watoomb provides disruption, while Temporal Manipulation and Images of Ikonn offer powerful turn 6 plays, particularly for multiplying Scream or other high-value cards. This deck offers a strong counter to Luke Cage and Shadow King strategies.
Should You Invest in the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto's power level rivals Thanos or Arishem. His potential for game-altering synergies makes the 9.99 USD Season Pass a worthwhile investment, especially considering his likely future meta impact and the formation of unique Agamotto-centric decks.
