The Marvel Snap Lancelot card joined the Knights of Avalon season on 10 November 2026 as a Series 5 release in a Seasonal SNAP Pack. It costs 4 Energy, starts with 6 Power, and rewards you for doing something plenty of decks already want to do: increasing the Power of cards on the board.
Lancelot is not another Season Pass reward. If you’ve been looking through Arthur Pendragon and Merlin’s pass rewards trying to find him, you’re in the wrong place. His own weekly pack is the route announced for his release, and his ability works across your cards rather than only at the location where you play him.
Marvel Snap Lancelot card ability and stats
Lancelot is a 4-Cost, 6-Power card with the Ongoing ability: “Your cards with increased Power have +1 Power.” That matters because the bonus looks for a condition already met by your cards. Lancelot isn’t handing every friendly card an unconditional extra point.
Think about two cards on your side of the board. One is still at its starting Power. The other has already received a Power increase from another effect. The second is the obvious beneficiary of Lancelot’s Ongoing text. A simple Cost reduction, by contrast, is not the same thing as increasing Power.
The key word is increased. This is why the Marvel Snap Lancelot card belongs with Power-growing strategies, rather than every list that happens to include expensive characters. It is also why you should read the actual modifier on the card before assuming a combination works.
How to get the Marvel Snap Lancelot card in November 2026
The Marvel Snap Lancelot card was released on Tuesday 10 November in a Seasonal SNAP Pack as part of Knights of Avalon. Second Dinner announced him as a Series 5 card, alongside Captain Britain on 3 November, Elder Dragon of the Moon on 17 November and Sir Percy Black Knight on 24 November.
Seasonal SNAP Packs are separate from the Premium Season Pass and Super Premium Season Pass. Arthur Pendragon comes with Premium; Merlin of Avalon belongs to Super Premium. Buying either pass is not the advertised direct unlock route for Lancelot.
If you are reading this after launch week, check the current Card Shop and pack lineup rather than assuming the original weekly offer is still on screen. The season announcement provides his release date and release channel, but it is not a live price list.
Which cards work with Lancelot?
The Marvel Snap Lancelot card works best when Power boosts reach the board first, so his Ongoing effect can reward those cards. Captain Britain is an obvious season-mate to examine: after you play a card costing 4 or more, Captain Britain gives that card +1 Power and reduces the Cost of a card in your hand. The Power part is relevant to Lancelot; the hand discount is useful for your curve, but doesn’t itself satisfy Lancelot’s increased-Power condition.
Arthur Pendragon offers another interesting connection. His On Reveal brings Excalibur to his location, and Excalibur’s Ongoing text gives your cards costing 4 or more +2 Power. That creates a clear connection between the two Knights of Avalon themes: larger cards and cards with increased Power.
These are card-text synergies, not a claim that a particular twelve-card list is the strongest deck on the ladder. A practical test for the Marvel Snap Lancelot card is whether your deck can increase several cards’ Power before the last turns, instead of relying on one huge target.
What Lancelot does not do
Do not count a card as Power-boosted simply because it costs less to play. The distinction matters with upcoming cards such as Sir Percy Black Knight, whose announced effect reduces his own Cost based on other expensive cards in hand. Cost and Power are separate values.
You also should not assume every in-game interaction is settled by the short announcement. For example, whether Lancelot’s own +1 causes a newly eligible card to meet a separate effect’s condition depends on how the live game evaluates those effects. Test that interaction in the current client before building a deck around it.
Because this is an Ongoing ability, keeping Lancelot in play matters. An effect that disables or removes an Ongoing ability can change the Power you expected to keep. Read the final board rather than counting the bonus as permanent once you’ve played him.
Is the Marvel Snap Lancelot card worth building around?
Lancelot makes the most sense when Power increases are already part of your plan. If most of your cards stay at their printed Power, spending 4 Energy on him leaves you with fewer bonus targets. If several cards grow throughout a match, his ability has more chances to contribute to winning locations.
Before spending resources on the Marvel Snap Lancelot card, check three things: how many of your cards can actually grow, whether your deck can play those effects on time, and whether Lancelot fits into your turn-four sequence. He is more of a payoff for a Power-boosting shell than a substitute for the cards that create those boosts.
For now, the Marvel Snap Lancelot card is best judged by that straightforward job. He arrived on 10 November, his ability is known, and the rest comes down to your own board and the current card balance.
