• The May season spotlights the New X-Men
• Esme Cuckoo joins as the latest squad member
• Pit of Exile and Genosha debut as new battlegrounds

The halls of Xavier’s Institute are alive again in Marvel Snap with the arrival of Snap Packs, and the New X-Men are shaking up the battlefield. The May season introduces a dynamic roster of emerging mutants, including the cunning Esme Cuckoo, high-voltage Surge, and tactical genius Prodigy, all poised to disrupt the game’s meta.

This month’s Marvel Snap season pass unveils a new wave of recruits, led by Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost who plays by her own rules. Her On Reveal ability draws a card from your deck, sets its cost to three with four Power, and delivers it like a psychic wildcard.

Esme is just the beginning. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant joins the fray, bringing fresh strategies like cost tweaks, cloning mechanics, and revival plays. Upcoming additions include Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn. Captain Carter’s seasonal pack also returns for those who missed it last time.

The new locations add their own flair. Pit of Exile thwarts high-power strategies, demanding leaner decks and sharper timing. Genosha, meanwhile, sets the stage for epic final-turn showdowns by clearing all but your priciest card at the end. Both locations will challenge your go-to decks.

Beyond the battlefield, Marvel Snap offers fresh rewards. Three new collection albums drop this month, starting with a Penny Arcade collaboration featuring Mike Krahulik’s variants on May 8th. Next, Rian Gonzales’ chibi-style collection arrives on May 15th, followed by a disco-themed set on May 30th, showcasing Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in vibrant variants.
