The other creature has to have first strike or double strike, so the Lancer can die to give the counters to something else.

Arcbound Lancer Artifact Card in Magic the Gathering

Hi I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village and today we'll be discussing artifacts from Magic the Gathering, and now I'm going to discuss Arcbound Lancer. Arcbound Lancer is an artifact creature that is an uncommon, it costs you seven to put it in play. It is a zero/zero creature which means that it is going to have something that gives it counters. In this instance it has a modular of four which means that it comes into play with four plus one, plus one counters on it and which means that when this creature goes to the graveyard you can take all four of the plus one, plus one counters that are on Arcbound Lancer and move them to, or divide them up and move them amongst target artifact creatures. Once again, modular is a specific thing that only occurs with artifact creatures and in addition to getting a four/four with the special modular for seven, this creature also has first strike which means it deals its combat damage first and will kill off any creature that is a four/four and can also kill off an eight/eight because it will deal its combat damage first. Then you can move the modular to another blocker in the same instance when this creature goes to the graveyard, to kill off the larger foe.
