Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow is the new Series 4 card you can earn in the Draft limited-time mode running from 19 November to 1 December 2026. It belongs to the Knights of Avalon season, but it isn’t a weekly Series 5 SNAP Pack release and it isn’t part of the Arthur Pendragon or Merlin Season Pass rewards.
Draft is still a week away as of 12 November, so there’s no benefit in pretending the reward track is already open. Second Dinner has confirmed the dates, the card’s ability and three mini-events that give out Draft Tickets. The precise Knight’s Vow reward milestone is a detail to check when the mode actually launches.
Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow card ability
The publisher gives Knight’s Vow this On Reveal text: “Give a 4-Cost or more character in your hand -1 Cost and a 3-Cost or less one +3 Power.” That’s a two-part hand buff. It reduces the Cost of an expensive character and boosts the Power of a cheaper one.
Those two effects are not the same. The Cost reduction can help you play an expensive card sooner or alongside something else. The +3 Power affects a lower-Cost character while it’s in your hand, so you need to draw and play cards that fit the stated Cost brackets.
The Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow ability says “a” character from each bracket. Don’t assume every 4-Cost card gets discounted or every cheap character gains Power. The official announcement also doesn’t explain how it chooses among multiple eligible cards in your hand, so avoid building around a guaranteed target until you’ve seen the in-game effect.
When does the Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow Draft event start?
| What | Confirmed date |
|---|---|
| Draft mode starts | 19 November 2026 at server reset |
| Draft mode ends | 1 December 2026 at server reset |
| Knight’s Vow availability | Series 4 reward on the Draft track |
Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow will be the featured new Series 4 reward in Draft’s third run. The announcement also says the mode returns with new Augments, but doesn’t list every Augment or every level on the reward track. That means a precise “win X times” guide would be premature before 19 November.
Draft is a separate limited-time mode from Sanctum Showdown, which runs 5 – 12 November and awards Mordred. If you’re seeing both names on a season calendar, they’re two different event windows, not two names for the same reward track.
All confirmed Draft Ticket mini-events
There are three confirmed chances to pick up Draft Tickets during the Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow event window. These are separate short events, and Second Dinner lists two Draft Tickets as the reward for each.
| Mini-event | Dates | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| XP Sprint | 20 – 22 November | 2 Draft Tickets |
| Cube Collect | 23 – 25 November | 2 Draft Tickets |
| XP Sprint | 27 – 29 November | 2 Draft Tickets |
Complete all three qualifying mini-events and their announced rewards add up to six Draft Tickets. That is the sum of the listed rewards, not a promise that six tickets will be enough to unlock Knight’s Vow. The exact entry cost per Draft run and the reward-track requirement aren’t specified in the original season post.
How to prepare for the Draft run
You can still prepare sensibly before the event begins. Keep an eye on the dated mini-events, check how your current Draft Ticket balance works once the mode opens, and read the reward track before spending a ticket. Your previous Draft experience may help, but don’t assume every rule or Augment from an earlier run is unchanged.
One useful distinction when planning for Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow is that the card affects your hand. It doesn’t immediately place a new card at a location. Its value will depend on whether your hand contains targets in both Cost brackets and whether you can make good use of the discount and Power buff.
For instance, a deck with only expensive characters won’t have the same options as one with both larger and smaller cards. But it’s too soon to declare one ideal Draft deck without the final mode rules. Read the current text when the event appears rather than chasing a speculative best-deck list.
Is Knight’s Vow a Season Pass card?
No. Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow is a Series 4 reward from Draft. Arthur Pendragon comes through Premium, Merlin of Avalon through Super Premium, and the season’s four weekly Series 5 cards come through Seasonal SNAP Packs.
If you’re saving resources for the later part of November, keep those routes separate. You shouldn’t buy a Season Pass expecting it to grant the Draft reward directly, and you shouldn’t assume the Draft mode has opened just because a preview article is already live.
The date to remember is 19 November. That’s when Draft is scheduled to return and when the Marvel Snap Knight’s Vow reward should become available to work toward. Until then, the published dates and Ticket mini-events are the reliable information; the precise reward requirement needs the live event screen.
