*Marvel Snap* is diving into the past with its thrilling Prehistoric Avengers season. The spotlight shines on Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange, who emerges as the Season Pass card and likely the most powerful addition to the game. Let's explore the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability that reads: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck."

The Ancient Arcana cards shuffled into your deck include:

• Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card with an ability 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 with an ability 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 with an ability that reads: "On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)"
• Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card with an ability that reads: "On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)"

Noticeably, the Ancient Arcana cards do not have a Power value and feature a new keyword, "Banish." These cards are classified as Skill cards, not character cards, and are played to the board before being banished, meaning they do not enter the discard or destroy piles and cannot be brought back into play.

This mechanic allows for combos with cards like Wong, but not with Odin. Furthermore, cards like King Etri won’t pull Agamotto, and Ravonna Renslayer won’t discount their cost, nor will Mister Negative work with these cards.

Given the diverse effects of the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto doesn’t fit neatly into one archetype, as he dilutes a deck, making it challenging to execute specific game plans.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is poised to create his own archetype, though it may take a week or two to fully develop. Initially, he fits well into two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Let's delve into the former:

• 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. Quicksilver is the only non-Series 5 card, so it might not be suitable if you haven't been keeping up with the season passes. However, most cards, except Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto, can be swapped for similar cards of the same cost.

Typically, diluting a deck with Wiccan would be risky, but Bolts of Balthakk provides +4 energy the turn after it's played, allowing for strong end-game plays even if you miss Wiccan. The other Ancient Arcana synergize well with this deck. Temporal Manipulation can pull Agamotto from your deck early, increasing your chances of drawing other spells. Wombs of Watoomb offers great disruption, while Images of Ikonn can multiply your most powerful card, repeating effects like Cassandra Nova’s or triggering Wiccan’s energy buff multiple times, or even powering up multiple Galacta cards in the final lanes.

Cassandra Nova might see increased play, especially with Eson, another card released alongside Agamotto, fitting well into Arishem decks.

Last month's top deck, Scream Push, is also a strong contender for Agamotto. Here’s the list:

• 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 includes several Series 5 cards. You can replace Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff if needed.

While only Wombs of Watoomb synergizes directly with Agamotto, the other Ancient Arcana cards enhance the deck. Temporal Manipulation makes Agamotto a powerful turn 6 play, especially after playing Bolts of Balthakk. Images of Ikonn, however, steals the show by creating multiple Screams, Spider-Mans, or Cannonballs, wreaking havoc on your opponent’s board.

Will Agamotto improve this deck? Yes, it will add unpredictability and provide an out against decks with Luke Cage and Shadow King in the right circumstances.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto, if not nerfed, stands at a power level similar to Thanos or Arishem. He'll likely be a meta-changer, causing issues and possibly frustrating players with his powerful synergies. As he is expected to eventually forge his own archetype, grabbing him for $9.99 USD is highly recommended if you have the space.

And those are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*.
