The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing with excitement in Marvel Snap's May season, themed around the New X-Men. This season introduces a fresh wave of characters starting with the newest squad member, Esme Cuckoo. As a telepathic clone of Emma Frost, Esme brings a unique twist to your deck with her On Reveal effect, which pulls a card, adjusts its cost to three with four Power, and hands it to you like a psychic grenade ready to explode in your opponent's strategy.
But Esme is just the beginning. Each week of May will see a new Series 5 mutant join the fray, each adding innovative twists to your matchups. Expect cost reductions, copycat tactics, and resurrection tricks as you strategize with characters like Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn. Plus, don't miss out on the return of Captain Carter’s seasonal pack if you missed it the first time around.
This month's new locations, Pit of Exile and Genosha, are set to dramatically alter your game plans. Pit of Exile will challenge you to adopt leaner builds and smarter sequencing by shutting down big power plays, while Genosha sets the stage for intense final turn showdowns by clearing all but your most expensive card. Both locations promise to flip the script on your usual deck strategies.
