The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing once again in Marvel Snap, with the May season themed around the New X-Men, bringing fresh excitement to your card battles. This season introduces a dynamic class of rising stars that are set to shake up the meta. Leading the charge is the newest recruit, Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost known for her no-nonsense approach. Her On Reveal ability is a game-changer, pulling a card from your deck, adjusting its cost to three and boosting its Power to four, effectively handing you a powerful psychic weapon.
Esme is just the beginning of this month's exciting roster. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant will be added to the card pool, each bringing unique strategies to the table. From cost reductions and copycat tactics to resurrection tricks, you'll have plenty of new tools at your disposal. Look forward to characters like Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn joining the fray. Additionally, Captain Carter’s seasonal pack makes a welcome return, giving you another chance to grab it if you missed it before.
The new locations introduced this month are equally thrilling. Pit of Exile is designed to curb big power plays, encouraging leaner builds and strategic sequencing. On the other hand, Genosha sets the stage for dramatic final turns by clearing all but your most expensive card, turning the tide of battle in the last moments. These locations are poised to challenge your usual deck strategies and add a new layer of excitement to your games.

Beyond the card battles, Marvel Snap is also rolling out three new collection albums this month. The first, launching on May 8th, is a collaboration with Penny Arcade, featuring Mike Krahulik’s unique variants. Following that, a chibi-themed collection from Rian Gonzales hits on May 15th, and finally, a disco-themed dance fest on May 30th, showcasing Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in funky new variants.
