X-Men Season Returns in Marvel Snap

The halls of Xavier’s Institute are alive once again in Marvel Snap as the New X-Men make their explosive debut, shaking up the competitive meta. This May season introduces a fresh class of mutant recruits, including the rebellious telepath Esme Cuckoo, alongside strategic powerhouses like Surge and Prodigy.

Esme Cuckoo Leads the New Mutant Wave

Kicking off this season’s additions, the unorthodox Esme Cuckoo—a psychic Emma Frost clone—brings her rule-breaking tactics to matches. Her On Reveal ability snatches a card from your deck, transforms it into a 3-Cost, 4-Power version, and drops it into your hand like a tactical wildcard.

But she’s far from alone. Throughout May, Marvel Snap will roll out additional Series 5 mutants, each shaking up the game with distinct mechanics. Expect cost manipulation, cloning tricks, and revival strategies from newcomers like Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn.

New Locations Shake Up Tactics

The battlegrounds receive a dramatic overhaul with two high-stakes locations:

• Pit of Exile disrupts powerhouse plays early, forcing players to rethink deck-building.
• Genosha escalates endgame tension by eliminating all but the highest-cost card at the match’s conclusion.

These additions challenge conventional strategies, rewarding adaptability.

More to Collect in May

Beyond the battles, Marvel Snap introduces three themed album collections:

• Penny Arcade Variants (May 8) featuring Mike Krahulik’s signature art style.
• Chibi Collection (May 15) from illustrator Rian Gonzales.
• Disco Fever (May 30) spotlighting Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in retro-glam styles.
