*Marvel Snap* is taking players on a journey back in time with its Prehistoric Avengers season, featuring the powerful Season Pass card, Agamotto. This ancient sorcerer, closely linked to Doctor Strange, brings unique strategies to the game. Let's dive into how Agamotto works and the best decks to leverage his abilities in *Marvel Snap*.

How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap

Agamotto is a 5-cost, 10-power card with a game-starting ability that shuffles 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck. These Ancient Arcana cards, each with a distinct effect, are crucial to understanding Agamotto's potential:

• Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card that boosts Agamotto by +3 Power and returns him to your hand if he's 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, then banishes itself.
• Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that grants you +4 Energy on your next turn, then banishes itself.
• Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card that transforms your other cards in the same location into copies of the highest-power card there, then banishes itself.

The Ancient Arcana cards are unique because they lack a Power value and feature the new "Banish" keyword. This means they don't enter the discard or destroy piles, making them immune to effects that interact with those piles. They can be combined with cards like Wong but not triggered by Odin, and they won't be affected by cards like King Etri, Ravonna Renslayer, or Mister Negative.

Given the variety of effects from the Ancient Arcana, Agamotto can fit into multiple archetypes, although he may dilute a deck's focus, making it challenging to execute specific strategies consistently.

Best Day One Agamotto Decks in Marvel Snap

While Agamotto may eventually form his own archetype, he currently fits well into two deck types: Wiccan Control and Push Scream. Let's explore the Wiccan Control deck first:

• 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. If you're missing some, you can substitute most cards except for Galacta, Wiccan, and Agamotto. The deck benefits from Bolts of Balthakk's energy boost, allowing for strong end-game plays even if you don't draw Wiccan early. Temporal Manipulation helps pull Agamotto out early, increasing your chances of hitting other spells. Wombs of Watoomb provides disruption, while Images of Ikonn can amplify your most powerful cards, such as Cassandra Nova, Wiccan, or Galacta.

Another promising deck is the Push Scream strategy, which also incorporates Agamotto:

• 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, but you can make substitutions like using Nightcrawler instead of Hydra Bob and Jeff instead of Iron Patriot. Agamotto's Ancient Arcana, particularly Images of Ikonn, can create multiple copies of key cards like Scream, Spider-Man, or Cannonball, significantly disrupting your opponent's board. Temporal Manipulation and Bolts of Balthakk enhance Agamotto's late-game potential, making your plays less predictable and offering counters to cards like Luke Cage and Shadow King.

Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?

Agamotto, if not nerfed, could be as impactful as Thanos or Arishem, fluctuating in and out of the meta with his potent synergies. If you have the budget and are keen on exploring new deck archetypes, the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass for $9.99 is a worthwhile investment.

These are the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. With his unique abilities and the versatile Ancient Arcana, Agamotto offers exciting new strategies to explore.
