Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow. Familiar to Spider-Verse fans, Peni Parker is a ramp card with a unique twist.
Peni Parker's Gameplay in Marvel Snap
This 2-cost, 3-power card's ability reads: "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 a movable card (SP//dr) to your hand. Merging any card with Peni Parker grants +1 energy for your next turn. This synergy extends beyond SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger this bonus. The SP//dr 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, strong synergies exist, particularly with 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 can be substituted based on your collection and meta. The strategy centers on playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye or Peni Parker) to enable Wiccan's effect, allowing for powerful late-game plays with Gorr and Alioth. This is a reactive deck requiring adaptable card choices.
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. Series 5 cards (Scream, Cannonball, Alioth) are crucial, although substitutions might be possible. This deck manipulates the board, using Kraven and Scream to control lanes. Peni Parker's merge allows for playing both Alioth and Magneto in a single game. This deck demands advanced strategic thinking.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker's value is questionable. While generically strong, she lacks the immediate impact of other cards in the current Marvel Snap meta. Her 2- and 3-cost play isn't always impactful enough. However, her potential will likely increase as the game evolves.
