*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a thrilling journey back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season. The spotlight of this season is on Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer closely linked to Doctor Strange. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap* to help you dominate the competition.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a powerhouse card in *Marvel Snap*, coming in at a 5-cost with 10-power. His unique ability at the start of the game is to shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana cards into your deck. These Ancient Arcana cards are:

• Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that reads: “On Reveal: Give Agamotto +3 Power. Put him into your hand if he’s not in play. (Banish this.)”
• Wombs of Watoomb: A 2-cost card that reads: “On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)”
• Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that reads: “On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)”
• Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that reads: “On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)”

These Ancient Arcana cards are unique because they don't have a Power cost and introduce the "Banish" keyword, meaning they are removed from play after their effect is triggered, without entering the discard or destroy piles. This makes them incompatible with effects like Odin's, but they synergize well with Wong. They also can't be pulled by King Etri or discounted by Ravonna Renslayer, and Mister Negative's effect won't apply to them.

Given the variety of effects from the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto fits into multiple deck archetypes, though he does dilute the deck's focus, making it challenging to execute specific game plans.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While Agamotto is likely to carve out his own archetype eventually, he can be effectively integrated into existing strategies like Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Here's an example of the Wiccan Control deck:

• Quicksilver
• Hydra Bob
• Hawkeye
• Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sam Wilson
• Captain America
• Cassandra Nova
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Copycat
• Galacta
• Wiccan
• Agamotto
• Alioth

This deck is on the pricier side, featuring several Series 5 cards, with Quicksilver being the only exception. If you're not up to date with season passes, this might not be the deck for you. However, most cards can be substituted with similar-cost alternatives, except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto.

Incorporating Agamotto into a Wiccan Control deck can be tricky due to the dilution effect, but Bolts of Balthakk's +4 energy boost on the following turn can compensate for missing Wiccan on turn 4. The other Ancient Arcana cards enhance the deck's effectiveness: Temporal Manipulation can pull Agamotto early, Wombs of Watoomb disrupts opponents, and Images of Ikonn can multiply powerful effects like Cassandra Nova's or Wiccan's, or even amplify Galacta's impact across multiple lanes.

Another strong option is the Push Scream deck, which also benefits from Agamotto's versatility:

• Hydra Bob
• Scream
• Iron Patriot
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson
• Captain America
• Spider-Man
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Miles Morales
• Spider-Man
• Stegron
• Cannonball
• Agamotto

This deck also features several Series 5 cards, but you can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff if needed. Agamotto's Ancient Arcana, particularly Images of Ikonn, can amplify the deck's disruptive potential by creating multiple copies of key cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, making your strategy less predictable and more effective against certain counter-decks.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
