I disagree....alot.
Strange has power of his own, after his five thousand year skyfather war, he had taken every single drop of Earth magic into himself. He drained it dry. He still has that power.
But, fine. Doesn't matter.
Let's look at the gauntlet: (Keep in mind that Strange is a reality AND a time manipulator. Those two hours of prep can turn into years.)
Lex Luther and Captains America/ 5 hours prep
Non-Fight.
Batman and Mr. Fantastic/ 4 1/2 hours prep
Batman is useless here. MF is tough, but in a fight with Strange, MF would just...not wake up one morning. Or Strange simply goes and kills MF's great, great, great, great, great, great granny. Remember, Strange is a time traveler of the highest degree.
Apocalypse and Zoom/ 4 hours prep
Strange threatens Apoc with a chair. Game Over.
Nah.
Zoom is useless here. So, 'poc fights Strange alone. Again, Strange goes and takes Apoc out while Apoc was hibernating a few thousand years ago. No fuss, no muss.
Loki and Dr. Fate/ 3 1/2 hours prep
Two interesting magicians. I know both well and they both are physically superior to Strange....and that's it.
Strange is older than Loki, better than Loki, more powerful than Loki and has more sources of power than Loki. Without prep he's superior to Loki, with prep, he's Loki's daddy.
Fate is powerful, but in Magic, you are only as powerful as the God you invoke. Fate only has Nabu. Strange has....everybody else..i.e LT, Chaos and Order, Eternity, Vishanti, Satannish, Darkhold and so on.
Onslaught and GL(John) 3 hours prep
Depends on which Onslaught. With Franklin, he'd be tough. Without Franklin, he's toast. Telepathy is useless against Strange, so if it's uber Onslaught, his only useful power would be reality manipulation and if Strange can null a"wish" from the I.G, he can do the same with OS. GL is powerful, but Strange can manipulate energy just like GL can. In fact, Strange can absorb an infinite amount of energy and steal it for himself. i.e The infinite or the Uni-force. Hal might just have his power taken away.
Scarlet Witch and Circe/ 2/12 hour prep
HoM Scarlet would win. If this isn't HoM scarlet, it's a weak team.
Ares and Odin/ 1 1/2 hour prep
Ares is useless, sorry. But Odin....he's the shit. Strange's feats are on par with Odin's normal feats, but Odin with prep is a monster. Odin would win.
