Who has the greatest knowledge of magic in comics?

Top 3 only.

1. Constantine?
2. Fate?
3. Strange?

Doom.

How is he in the top 3?

His feats within the past few years.

And how does he rank against guys like Fate W/Helm and Constantine. Please elaborate.

Doom currently is at least as well learned as Strange. More so if you do decide to take the statements made by Strange himself and Wanda at face value, which really, there's no reason not to.

I'd vote Fate ahead of Strange. His Helm is an infinite source of all things and is basically an encyclopedia worth of magic inside.

Merlyn is my vote aswell

What has Merlyn done?

He is the guardian of the omniverse

That doesn't mean he has more magic knowledge than Strange or Fate.

no. but he does anyway.

Those types of statements don't make it true. I want to see actually feats. Saying he's the guardian of the omniverse doesn't necessarily describe his power levels or knowledge. Fate and the rest of the Orders of chaos have existed before the actual Multiverse and possibly magic. They have knowledge of ALL magic. So, how is Merlyn more knowledgeable than Fate or Strange?

1. Ancient One
2. Mordru
3. Dormammu

Doom does not have the most knowledge in magic....😬

Didn't say he does. But on panel, as of now, he's at least as well learned as Strange. There's been more than one comparison between the two since Doom's push toward being a top tier sorcerer on Earth, so it's not like a one-off thing.

Shuma-Gorath could be considered aswell

On that list? fate.
Your list is lacking tbh.

There's a lot of people that could be considered, but as the thread said it's between the three
