Marvel Snap’s New X-Men Season Revives High School Drama with Fresh Mutants

• The May season spotlights the New X-Men crew
• Esme Cuckoo joins as the latest mutant recruit
• Pit of Exile and Genosha debut as game-changing locations

Xavier’s Institute hums with energy in Marvel Snap as the New X-Men take center stage in the May season. This card battler’s latest chapter introduces bold newcomers like the cunning Esme Cuckoo, the dynamic Surge, and the tactical Prodigy, all poised to disrupt the game’s meta.

The season pass kicks off with Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost who plays by her own rules. Her On Reveal ability draws a card from your deck, sets its cost to three with four Power, and delivers it like a psychic ace up your sleeve.

Esme’s just the beginning. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant enters the fray, bringing clever cost tweaks, mimicry strategies, and revival mechanics to keep opponents guessing. Look out for Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn, with Captain Carter’s seasonal pack also making a comeback for those who missed it.

This month’s new locations shake things up further. Pit of Exile stifles heavy-hitting strategies, demanding sharper builds and precise timing. Genosha, meanwhile, sparks chaotic endgames by discarding all but your priciest card at the final turn. Both locations challenge players to rethink their go-to decks.
