"New X-Men Season in Marvel Snap Brings Back High School Nostalgia"

After adding Snap Packs, the halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing again in Marvel Snap, and this time, it's the New X-Men theme that's shaking up your matches. The card battler's May season introduces a vibrant class of rising stars, featuring the ambitious Esme Cuckoo, electrifying Surge, and strategic minds like Prodigy, all ready to redefine the meta.

This month’s season pass in Marvel Snap spotlights a fresh class of recruits, led by Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost with no patience for rules or hesitation. Her On Reveal effect pulls a card from your deck, adjusts its cost to three with four Power, and hands it to you like a loaded psychic grenade.

But she's just the beginning. Every week, a new Series 5 mutant will join the card pool, each adding a unique twist to your matchups. You’ll be juggling cost reductions, copycat tactics, and resurrection tricks before the month's out. The upcoming characters include Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn. Additionally, Captain Carter’s seasonal pack makes a return for those who missed it previously.

The new locations this month are equally dramatic. Pit of Exile stifles big power plays before they even begin, encouraging leaner builds and smarter sequencing. Meanwhile, Genosha sets the stage for final turn showdowns by clearing all but your most expensive card at the buzzer. Both locations are poised to change the dynamics of your usual decks.

Beyond the arenas, there's more to explore. Marvel Snap is releasing three new collection albums this month. The first, launching on May 8th, is a collaboration with Penny Arcade, featuring Mike Krahulik’s variants. This is followed by a chibi-themed collection from Rian Gonzales on May 15th, and a disco-themed dance fest on May 30th, showcasing Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in vibrant variants.
