Best Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Journey back in time with Marvel Snap's Prehistoric Avengers season! The season's crown jewel, and arguably its most powerful card, is Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer with deep ties to Doctor Strange. Let's explore the best Agamotto decks currently shaking up the Marvel Snap meta.

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—these cards vanish after use, neither entering the discard pile nor being destroyed, and cannot be replayed. Their lack of power cost classifies them as Skill cards, not character cards. This means they synergize with cards like Wong but not Odin; King Etri won't pull Agamotto, and Ravonna Renslayer won't discount their cost. Mister Negative is also out of the equation.

Agamotto's diverse Arcana effects make him difficult to pigeonhole into a single archetype. He adds complexity, potentially disrupting established strategies.

Top Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While a dedicated Agamotto archetype might emerge, he currently shines in two existing deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.

Wiccan Control

This deck (available via Untapped.gg) features Quicksilver, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Cassandra Nova, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Copycat, Galacta, Wiccan, Agamotto, and Alioth. Note that this is a high-cost deck with many Series 5 cards. However, many cards are interchangeable with similar-cost alternatives.

The deck leverages Agamotto's Arcana effectively. Temporal Manipulation provides early access to Agamotto; Wombs of Watoomb disrupts opponents; Images of Ikonn creates powerful board states, especially when combined with Cassandra Nova or Galacta. Bolts of Balthakk ensures a powerful late-game even if you don't draw Wiccan early.

Push Scream

This deck (also available via Untapped.gg) includes Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Kraven, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Spider-Man, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Miles Morales, Stegron, Cannonball, and Agamotto. Again, this is expensive, featuring several Series 5 cards (Hydra Bob, Scream, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, and Cannonball). Substitutions are possible, for example, replacing Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff.

Here, Wombs of Watoomb is the primary synergy, but Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a powerful turn 6 play when combined with Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn creates multiple Screams, Spider-Mans, or Cannonballs for overwhelming board presence. This deck's unpredictability counters Luke Cage and Shadow King decks.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto's power level rivals Thanos and Arishem. His potential to disrupt the meta and create new, powerful synergies makes the $9.99 USD Season Pass a worthwhile investment, especially considering his future archetype potential.
