The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing with excitement in Marvel Snap this May, as the New X-Men theme takes center stage. This season introduces a dynamic class of rising stars ready to shake up your matches. Leading the charge is the newest squad member, Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost known for her impatience and strategic mind. Her On Reveal effect is a game-changer, pulling a card from your deck, adjusting its cost to three with four Power, and delivering it to you like a psychic grenade ready to explode.
Esme is just the beginning of the excitement. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant will join the card pool, bringing fresh twists to your strategies. Expect to see Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn, each adding their unique abilities to the mix. And don’t miss out on the return of Captain Carter’s seasonal pack if you missed it the first time around.
The new locations this month are equally thrilling. Pit of Exile forces players to rethink their strategies by shutting down 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 your most expensive card at the last moment. Both locations are poised to challenge your usual deck compositions.

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