"New X-Men Season Launches, Bringing Marvel Snap Back to High School"

The halls of Xavier's Institute are buzzing once again in Marvel Snap, thanks to the introduction of Snap Packs and the thrilling May season themed around the New X-Men. This season introduces a dynamic class of new characters ready to shake up your matches, with the ambitious Esme Cuckoo leading the charge. Alongside her, you'll find electrifying Surge and strategic minds like Prodigy, all set to revolutionize the meta.

The Marvel Snap May season pass kicks off with Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost known for her disregard for rules. 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 psychic grenade ready to explode on the battlefield.

Esme is just the beginning. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant will join the fray, each bringing unique abilities to your deck. Expect cost reductions, copycat tactics, and resurrection tricks from characters like Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn. Don't miss out on Captain Carter’s seasonal pack, which is making a comeback for those who missed it previously.

This month's new locations are equally dramatic. Pit of Exile forces you to rethink your strategy, shutting down big power plays and encouraging leaner builds and smarter sequencing. On the other hand, Genosha sets the stage for final turn showdowns by clearing all but your most expensive card at the last moment. Both locations are poised to flip the script on your usual deck strategies.

Beyond the arenas, there's more to explore. Marvel Snap is set to release three new collection albums this month. The first, launching on May 8th, is a collaboration with Penny Arcade, featuring Mike Krahulik’s unique variants. This is followed by a chibi-themed collection from Rian Gonzales on May 15th, and a disco-inspired dance fest on May 30th, showcasing Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler in their groove-worthy variants.
