New X-Men Season in Marvel Snap Revives High School Memories

The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing with excitement as Marvel Snap introduces the New X-Men themed season for May. This season brings a fresh wave of powerful mutants to the card battler, starting with the newest squad member, Esme Cuckoo. As a telepathic clone of Emma Frost, Esme disrupts the game with her On Reveal effect, pulling a card from your deck, adjusting its cost to three and its power to four, essentially handing you a potent psychic weapon.

Esme is just the beginning of the thrilling updates. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant will be introduced, shaking up the meta with unique abilities. Look forward to characters like Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn, each bringing their own strategic twists to your gameplay. Additionally, fans can grab Captain Carter’s seasonal pack, which makes a welcome return for those who missed it previously.

The new locations for this month, Pit of Exile and Genosha, add further intrigue to your matches. Pit of Exile challenges players to rethink their strategies by limiting high-power plays, encouraging leaner and more tactical deck builds. On the other hand, Genosha sets the stage for dramatic final turns by removing all but your most expensive card, turning the tide in an instant. These locations are set to change the dynamics of your usual gameplay.

To maximize your success with the New X-Men, be sure to consult our Marvel Snap tier list and build the optimal deck for the battles ahead.

Beyond the arenas, Marvel Snap is rolling out three new collection albums this month. The first, launching on May 8th, features a collaboration with Penny Arcade, showcasing Mike Krahulik's unique variants. This is followed by a chibi-themed collection from Rian Gonzales on May 15th, and a disco-inspired dance fest on May 30th, with groove-worthy variants of Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler.
