The halls of Xavier's Institute are buzzing with excitement in Marvel Snap's May season, themed around the New X-Men. This season introduces a fresh lineup of characters ready to shake up your matches, starting with the newest addition to the squad, Esme Cuckoo. As a telepathic clone of Emma Frost, Esme brings a bold, no-nonsense approach to the game with her On Reveal effect, which pulls a card from your deck, adjusts its cost to three with four Power, and hands it to you, ready to make an impact.
Joining Esme throughout the month are other Series 5 mutants, each bringing unique twists to your strategies. Expect to see Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn, all of whom will add new layers of complexity with cost reductions, copycat tactics, and resurrection tricks. Don't miss out on the return of Captain Carter's seasonal pack if you missed it before.
The new locations this month, Pit of Exile and Genosha, promise to challenge your deck-building and gameplay strategies. Pit of Exile forces you to adopt leaner builds and smarter sequencing by shutting down big power plays early on. On the other hand, Genosha sets the stage for intense final turns by clearing all but your most expensive card, turning the tide of the game in dramatic fashion.
