Top Agamotto Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed
Get ready to journey back in time with *Marvel Snap* as it introduces the Prehistoric Avengers season. The spotlight of this season shines on Agamotto, an ancient sorcerer linked to Doctor Strange. Here, we delve into the best Agamotto decks that are set to shake up the *Marvel Snap* meta.
How Agamotto Works in Marvel Snap
Agamotto is a formidable 5-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: “Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck.” These Ancient Arcana cards are:
- Temporal Manipulation: A 1-cost card 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 the ability, “On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)”
- Bolts of Balthakk: A 3-cost card that states, “On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)”
- Images of Ikonn: A 4-cost card with, “On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)”
The Ancient Arcana are Skill cards, lacking a Power value and featuring the new keyword "Banish." Once played, these cards are removed from the game without entering the discard or destroy piles, meaning they cannot be reused or affected by cards like Odin or Mister Negative. However, they synergize well with Wong.
Agamotto's versatility makes him a challenging card to fit into a specific archetype immediately, as he dilutes deck consistency. However, with time, he is likely to carve out his own niche in the meta.

This deck is on the expensive side, featuring several Series 5 cards, with Quicksilver being the only non-Series 5 card. While it's not ideal for those who haven't kept up with recent season passes, many cards can be swapped for similar-cost alternatives. Bolts of Balthakk's extra energy can help compensate for missing Wiccan on turn 4, and the other Ancient Arcana enhance the deck's strategy, from early Agamotto pulls with Temporal Manipulation to powerful duplications with Images of Ikonn.
Cassandra Nova may see increased play, especially with Eson, the other new card, fitting well into Arishem decks.
Push Scream Deck
- Hydra Bob
- Scream
- Iron Patriot
- Kraven
- Sam Wilson
- Captain America
- Spider-Man
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot
- Miles Morales
- Stegron
- Cannonball
- Agamotto

Another high-cost deck, this one also includes multiple Series 5 cards. Substitutions can be made, like replacing Hydra Bob with Nightcrawler and Iron Patriot with Jeff. Agamotto adds unpredictability to this deck, with Wombs of Watoomb disrupting opponents and Images of Ikonn amplifying the effects of key cards like Scream and Cannonball.
Should You Buy the Prehistoric Avengers Season Pass?
If Agamotto remains un-nerfed, he's poised to be a game-changer akin to Thanos or Arishem, weaving in and out of the meta with powerful synergies. His potential to form a new archetype makes him a worthwhile addition to your collection for 9.99 USD, provided you have the budget.
That covers the best Agamotto decks in *Marvel Snap*. Dive into the Prehistoric Avengers season and experiment with these powerful new strategies.
