If you're a Marvel Snap strategist, get ready—May’s season is here, and it's all about the New X-Men. The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing once again as a fresh wave of young mutants steps into the spotlight, bringing powerful abilities and game-changing mechanics to your matches.
Leading the charge this month is Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost who wastes no time making her mark. With a rebellious streak and razor-sharp precision, Esme’s On Reveal effect pulls a card directly from your deck, adjusting its cost to three and boosting its Power to four—effectively giving you an instant tactical advantage. She’s bold, she’s unpredictable, and she fits perfectly into decks that thrive on disruption and efficiency.
But Esme isn’t flying solo. Each week introduces another powerful mutant from Series 5, reshaping how you build and battle:
- Surge: Packed with energy and speed, Surge brings electrifying effects that reward fast plays.
- Prodigy: A mastermind of knowledge and adaptability, offering flexible utility for strategic minds.
- Elixir: A healer with life-changing powers, shifting the tide in close matches.
- Xorn: A mysterious force with mind-bending abilities that can turn defeat into victory.
And if you missed out earlier, Captain Carter’s Season Pass returns, giving you a second chance to collect her unique cards and rewards.
This season also brings two dramatic new locations that force players to rethink their strategies:
- Pit of Exile shuts down high-power moves early, pushing you to rely on smart sequencing and lower-cost efficiency.
- Genosha delivers explosive finishes by clearing everything except your most expensive card right at the end, setting up last-second comebacks.
Combined with these dynamic locations, the new characters bring even more depth to your gameplay, ensuring every match feels fresh and full of possibilities.
Beyond the battles, there’s plenty to collect this month. Marvel Snap unveils three exciting collection albums:
- May 8th: A special Penny Arcade collab featuring exclusive variants by Mike Krahulik.
- May 15th: Chibi-style illustrations from artist Rian Gonzales—adorable yet collectible.
- May 30th: A groovy disco-themed set starring Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in dazzling dance-floor style.
