Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, joins the game after Galacta and Luna Snow. Familiar to fans of the Spider-Verse films, Peni Parker is a ramp card with a unique twist.
Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap
This 2-cost, 3-power card's ability is: On Reveal: Add SP//dr to your hand. When merged, you gain +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.
This complex card essentially adds a movable card to your hand. Crucially, merging any card with Peni Parker grants +1 energy for your next turn. This isn't limited to SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger this bonus. The extra move from SP//dr only functions the turn after merging and is a one-time effect.
Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Mastering Peni Parker takes time. While her 5-energy merge and extra energy cost is significant, she synergizes well with certain cards, especially 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). However, it offers flexibility, allowing substitutions 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, followed by 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 some cards (Scream, Cannonball, Alioth) are high-cost Series 5 cards, the extra energy and movement from Peni Parker and SP//dr could revitalize this previously meta-dominant deck. The core strategy involves manipulating opponent's cards and predicting board states.
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, her impact isn't currently sufficient to justify the investment in the current Marvel Snap meta. However, her value may increase as the game evolves.
