Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow. Familiar to fans of the Spider-Verse films, Peni Parker is a ramp card with a unique twist.
Peni Parker's Mechanics in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker is a 2-cost, 3-power card. Her ability: "On Reveal: Add SP//dr to your hand. When this merges, you get +1 Energy next turn."
SP//dr, a 3-cost, 3-power card, has the ability: "On Reveal: Merge with one of your cards here. You can move that card next turn."
Essentially, Peni Parker adds SP//dr to your hand, enabling board manipulation. Merging any card with Peni Parker grants +1 energy for your next turn, not just SP//dr. SP//dr's movement ability is a one-time effect, active only the turn after merging.
Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Mastering Peni Parker requires time. Her 5-energy merge effect, while powerful, is costly. However, she synergizes well with certain cards, particularly Wiccan.
Deck 1: Wiccan Synergy Deck
This deck (Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Peni Parker, Quake, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Guardian, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth) is expensive, requiring several Series 5 cards (Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr, Alioth). Other cards are flexible and can be substituted based on your meta and collection. The strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye or Peni Parker) to enable Wiccan's effect, allowing you to play Gorr and Alioth for multiple win conditions.
Deck 2: Scream Move Deck
This deck (Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto) utilizes Peni Parker within a Scream move strategy. While this archetype has declined in popularity, Peni Parker's extra energy and SP//dr's movement potential could revitalize it. Key Series 5 cards are Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth (though Stegron might be a viable substitute). This deck focuses on manipulating the board and opponent's cards, utilizing Kraven and Scream for lane control.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker might not be worth Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys. While a generally strong card, she lacks the immediate impact of other options in the current Marvel Snap meta. However, her value is likely to increase as the game evolves.
