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, thanks to the addition of Snap Packs and the thrilling May season themed around the New X-Men. This month, the card battler introduces a class of rising stars poised to shake up your matches, led by the newest recruit, Esme Cuckoo.

Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost known for her impatience with rules, headlines the season pass. Her On Reveal effect is a game-changer: she pulls a card from your deck, adjusts its cost to three with four Power, and hands it to you, ready to be deployed like a psychic grenade. But Esme is just the beginning. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant joins the fray, bringing unique twists to your strategies. Look out for Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn, each adding their own flair to the meta. And don't miss out on Captain Carter’s seasonal pack if you missed it before.

The new locations this month are equally impactful. Pit of Exile forces players to rethink their strategies by limiting big power plays, encouraging leaner builds and smarter sequencing. On the other hand, Genosha sets the stage for dramatic final turns by clearing all but the most expensive card, ready to flip the script on your usual decks.

Beyond the arenas, Marvel Snap is rolling out three exciting new collection albums. The first, launching on May 8th, is a collaboration with Penny Arcade, featuring Mike Krahulik's unique variants. This is followed by Rian Gonzales's chibi-themed collection on May 15th, and a disco-themed dance fest on May 30th, showcasing Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in their grooviest variants.
