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

The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing once again in Marvel Snap, and this time, it's the New X-Men who are stirring things up. The card battler's May season is themed around a fresh class of rising stars, including the ambitious Esme Cuckoo, the electrifying Surge, and strategic minds like Prodigy, all ready to shake up the meta and bring new excitement to your matches.

This month's season pass in Marvel Snap introduces a vibrant lineup of recruits, starting with Esme Cuckoo. This telepathic clone of Emma Frost has no patience for rules or hesitation. Her On Reveal effect pulls a card from your deck, tweaks its cost to three with four Power, and hands it to you like a loaded psychic grenade, adding a strategic twist to your gameplay.

But Esme is just the beginning. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant hits the card pool, each bringing unique abilities 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. Don't miss out on Captain Carter’s seasonal pack, which makes a return for those who missed it before.

The new locations this month are equally dramatic. Pit of Exile shuts down big power plays before they even begin, forcing leaner builds and smarter sequencing. Meanwhile, Genosha sets the stage for final turn bloodbaths by clearing all but your most expensive card at the buzzer. Both of these spots are ready to flip the script on your usual decks, adding a layer of strategy and excitement to your battles.

Outside the arenas, there’s more to chase. Marvel Snap is dropping 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-fueled dance fest landing on May 30th, showcasing Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in groove-worthy variants.
