Morgan le Fay is the first Series 5 cards joining Marvel Snap for the June 2025 Season, Masters of the Arcane. It is a 4-Cost, 7 Power card that reads: On Reveal: Return all your discarded and destroyed cards to hand with +3 Power.
Today, let’s explore the new card strengths and, of course, the best decks to try it out in.
Decks with Morgan le Fay
Series 5 cards can be purchased for 6,000 Collector’s Tokens from the Token Shop as the latest Seasonal Spotlight card. They will be also be included in the Seasonal Series 5 Snap Pack for 5,000 Collector’s Tokens during their season and the following one.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Based on the datamines for Morgan le Fay, the card was originally a [4/5] and was buffed to a [4/7] before her release. Honestly, I thought the ability was pretty good already, so the extra two power it received must indicate that Second Dinner didn’t really like it in playtesting.
Still, I do understand that Morgan le Fay is a very synergistic card with several requirements in order to function at full force. First of all, you have to discard or destroy something, then play Morgan le Fay to get it back, and finally make use of the card(s) you returned to your hand. Still, if you can navigate that energy-hungry pattern, it sounds like you could create some pretty big cards.
Naturally, this makes Morgan le Fay a very draw dependant card, as not destroying or discarding anything early basically makes her a dead draw. So let’s look for some combos!
Decks with Swarm
There aren’t many cards that want you to discard them and still count as discarded. Scorn, Khonshu, and Apocalypse return to your hand, and Proxima Midnight summons herself. Swarm is the only one that actually joins your discard pool.
So, what if you discard Swarm, get it back as six power card with Morgan le Fay, and then discard it again to get free six power Swarms to play on Turn 6? I know it sounds complicated, but you might want to get used to it…
Decks with Multiple Man
Multiple Man has been exclusively a Phoenix Force card for a very long time. I don’t really expect that to change, but Morgan le Fay could give that deck a second play pattern to build around. Indeed, both Phoenix Force and Morgan le Fay want you to destroy Multiple Man. Then, although it is stronger to summon it back with Phoenix Force, getting it back in hand as a six power card might be enough. From there you can develop power over the last two turns using your move cards (Ghost-Spider, Araña, Doctor Strange) to duplicate Multiple Man.
Something similar could be achieved with Human Torch, buffing it early to then eat it with Venom. From there, get Human Torch and the cheap Move cards back to do it again and contest a second location.
Decks with Firehair
Decks with Misery
On paper, you could Carnage, Venom, or Killmonger any cheap card and get it back with Morgan le Fay to create a sort of Bounce package. But that feels like a very complicated way to do something Beast already brings to the table. There needs to be a little something extra in order for Morgan le Fay to look appealing.
Firehair and Misery both synergize with the destroy synergy and have a proven track record with cheap On Reveal cards that you might want to multiply the abilities of. As such, these two could be strong cards to pair with Morgan le Fay in order to bring both more reliability and more potential to game plans using the new 4-Cost.
The Verdict: Should You Buy Morgan le Fay?
Whether she is a five or seven power card, Morgan le Fay will require you to build around her ability and unbalance your deck in one way or another.
There are decks you can potentially plug and play Morgan le Fay in, such as Phoenix Force or maybe Mill. Neither is particularly great at the moment, but they will at least serve as decent starting points. From there, if Morgan le Fay looks great, you’ll be able to build unbalanced combos around her ability and maybe create something new.
I feel like it will be too complicated to pull off, but there is still the potential.
Pre-Release Score:
Morgan le Fay Decks
The Destroy synergy looks much more reliable to build around than the Discard one with Morgan le Fay, so that’s going to be my focus with the 4-Cost. There are two archetypes that have decent numbers at the moment:
- Mill, an obvious landing spot for Morgan le Fay with Firehair, and some Destroy elements already included.
- Destroy On Reveal (for lack of a better name) was using Elixir to try to summon Daken after Venom ate him for power. That synergy should be more reliable with Morgan le Fay, and it would also give you other cards to replay.

Last in the Destroy family, Phoenix Force gets a new direction to explore with Morgan le Fay. We’ve seen Nimrod and The Living Tribunal exist in the deck, but these reached their ceiling a while ago.
With the new 4-Cost, the deck gains a second way to plan around Multiple Man and Human Torch. Destroying them now opens two paths, not just the Phoenix Force line.

I don’t think a deck based on discarding Swarm, playing Morgan le Fay to get it back, and then discarding Swarm again to create multiple six power cards can work. Still, there are plenty of random elements in a Discard build, so Morgan le Fay could fetch back some unfortunate discards from Corvus Glaive or Gambit.

Variants
Conclusion
I feel like Morgan le Fay can succeed where Elixir failed. Sure, the card will represent quite a big investment of energy since you have to destroy or discard the cards, get them back, and then play them again. Still, a bonus three power feels like a big enough reward to give it a serious try.
I don’t expect the new card will shake up Marvel Snap much, but she represents a cool deckbuilding puzzle at the very least.
I hope this review of the new card was helpful. You can find everyone on the Marvel Snap Zone team in our community discord to have a chat or ask any questions.
Good Game Everyone!
