New X-Men Season in Marvel Snap Brings Back High School Memories

The halls of Xavier's Institute are buzzing with excitement in Marvel Snap this May, as the New X-Men take center stage. The card battler's May season introduces a fresh lineup of characters, headlined by the newest recruit, Esme Cuckoo, alongside other rising stars like Surge and Prodigy, all set to disrupt the game's meta.

Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost, leads the charge with her no-nonsense attitude. Her On Reveal ability is a game-changer, pulling a card from your deck, adjusting its cost to three and its power to four, and handing it to you like a psychic grenade ready to explode on the battlefield.

The excitement doesn't stop there. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant joins the fray, bringing unique twists to your strategies. From cost reductions and copycat tactics to resurrection tricks, you'll have a plethora of new tools at your disposal. Look forward to characters like Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn shaking up your deck-building. Plus, don't miss the return of Captain Carter's seasonal pack if you missed it the first time around.

The new locations this month, Pit of Exile and Genosha, add even more excitement. Pit of Exile forces players to rethink their strategies, favoring leaner builds and precise 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. These locations are sure to challenge and enhance your gameplay.
