The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing once again in Marvel Snap, thanks to the thrilling addition of Snap Packs. This May, the excitement revolves around the New X-Men, bringing fresh dynamics to your matches. The card battler's May season introduces a vibrant class of rising stars, including the ambitious Esme Cuckoo, the electrifying Surge, and strategic minds like Prodigy, all poised to shake up the meta.
Marvel Snap's May season pass kicks off with Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost who has no patience for rules or hesitation. Her On Reveal effect is a game-changer, pulling a card from your deck, adjusting its cost to three with four Power, and handing it to you like a loaded psychic grenade.
But Esme is just the beginning. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant joins the fray, each adding a unique twist to your matchups. From cost reductions to copycat tactics and resurrection tricks, the month promises a thrilling mix of strategies. Upcoming characters include Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn. Don't miss out on Captain Carter’s seasonal pack, making a return for those who missed it before.
The new locations this month, Pit of Exile and Genosha, add further drama to your games. Pit of Exile curbs big power plays, encouraging leaner builds and smarter sequencing. On the other hand, Genosha sets the stage for final turn bloodbaths by clearing all but your most expensive card at the last moment. Both locations are ready to flip the script on your usual decks.

This is followed by a chibi-themed collection from Rian Gonzales on May 15th, and a disco-fueled dance fest on May 30th, showcasing Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in groove-worthy variants.
