Journey back in time with Marvel Snap's Prehistoric Avengers season! This season introduces Agamotto, a powerful Season Pass card and ancient sorcerer, adding a new dimension to gameplay. Let's explore the best Agamotto decks currently available.
How Agamotto Works 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: 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 Arcana, lacking power cost, are Skill cards, not character cards. They're played, their effects triggered, and then banished—they don't enter the discard pile and can't be replayed. This means synergies with cards like Wong are possible, but not Odin or King Etri. Cards like Mister Negative and Ravonna Renslayer also won't affect them. Agamotto's versatility makes him difficult to categorize into a single archetype.
Best Early Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
While Agamotto's definitive archetype may take time to emerge, he currently fits well into two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream.
Wiccan Control
This deck (list available via Untapped link) 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 Wiccan isn't drawn early. Temporal Manipulation ensures early Agamotto access. Wombs of Watoomb offers disruption, and Images of Ikonn creates powerful board states by copying high-power cards like Cassandra Nova or Galacta. The deck benefits from Cassandra Nova's synergy with Eson.
Push Scream
This deck (list available via Untapped link) also includes several Series 5 cards (replaceable options exist). While only Wombs of Watoomb directly synergizes with Agamotto, Temporal Manipulation makes him a powerful turn 6 play, and Images of Ikonn can create multiple Screams, Spider-Mans, or Cannonballs for overwhelming board control. This deck counters Luke Cage and Shadow King strategies.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
Agamotto, barring nerfs, is a powerful card comparable to Thanos or Arishem. He'll impact the meta, potentially creating frustrating but powerful synergies. His potential to form a unique archetype makes the Season Pass a worthwhile purchase for many players.
