Marvel Snap’s latest addition, Black Knight, has joined the game as part of the Bloodstone season in October 2023. This new card features the character portrayed by Kit Harington in Marvel’s Eternals movie.
Black Knight, also known as Dane Whitman, is a descendant of the original Black Knight and the nephew of a supervillain variant of the character. Despite his family legacy, Whitman took up the Black Blade and became a hero, even joining the Avengers at one point.
The Black Knight card in Marvel Snap has a cost of 1 and a power of 2. However, the true strength lies in the Ebony Blade, which is added to your hand when you play the Black Knight card. The Ebony Blade has a cost of 4 and no power, but its power is determined by the card you discard.
When you discard a card, the Ebony Blade takes on that card’s power. This means that high-cost, high-power cards can be sacrificed to enhance the Ebony Blade’s power. Cards like Lady Sif, Blade, Black Bolt, Moon Knight, and more will become valuable in decks featuring Black Knight.
Zabu, another card in Marvel Snap, can lower the cost of the Ebony Blade to 3, allowing you to play it earlier or combine it with other cards in later turns. This synergy opens up new possibilities for discard decks.
Overall, Black Knight’s arrival in Marvel Snap promises to boost discard decks and make cards like Morbius, Dracula, Hela, and Daken more prominent in gameplay. The combination of Black Knight and the Ebony Blade offers exciting strategic opportunities for players.
