*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a thrilling journey back in time with the Prehistoric Avengers season, and at the heart of this season lies the powerful Season Pass card, Agamotto. An ancient sorcerer closely linked to Doctor Strange, Agamotto is set to redefine the meta with his unique abilities. Let's dive into how Agamotto works in *Marvel Snap* and explore the best decks to leverage his power.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with an intriguing ability: "Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck." These Ancient Arcana cards, which include Temporal Manipulation, Wombs of Watoomb, Bolts of Balthakk, and Images of Ikonn, each offer unique effects that can significantly alter gameplay:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that boosts Agamotto by +3 Power and returns him to your hand if not in play, then banishes itself.
- Wombs of Watoomb: A 2-cost card that reduces an enemy card's Power by -5 and moves it right before banishing itself.
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that grants you +4 Energy on your next turn before banishing itself.
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that transforms other cards in its location into copies of the highest-Power one before banishing itself.
These Ancient Arcana cards are classified as Skill cards, lacking a Power value and featuring the new keyword, "Banish." This means they are played and then removed from the game, not entering the discard or destroy piles, which affects how they interact with other cards in the game.
Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap
While Agamotto is likely to create his own archetype, he can be effectively integrated into existing decks like Wiccan Control and Push Scream:
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, primarily consisting of Series 5 cards, is tailored for seasoned players with a strong collection. The Ancient Arcana synergize well here, with Temporal Manipulation enabling early Agamotto plays, Wombs of Watoomb providing disruption, and Images of Ikonn potentially multiplying powerful effects like Cassandra Nova or Galacta. Bolts of Balthakk ensures you can still execute strong end-game strategies even if Wiccan is not drawn by turn 4.
Push Scream Deck
- Hydra Bob
- Scream
- Iron Patriot
- Kraven
- Sam Wilson
- Captain America
- Spider-Man
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot

- Agamotto
This deck also features high-cost Series 5 cards but can be adjusted with substitutes like Nightcrawler for Hydra Bob and Jeff for Iron Patriot. Agamotto's presence in this deck adds unpredictability, especially with Images of Ikonn potentially multiplying key cards like Scream or Cannonball, disrupting opponents' strategies effectively.
