Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow. Familiar to many from Spider-Verse, 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."
In essence, Peni Parker adds SP//dr to your hand, enabling board manipulation. 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 effect. SP//dr's movement ability is only active 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, 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). Flexibility allows for 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, allowing for powerful late-game plays with Gorr and Alioth.
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 move-style archetype. Series 5 cards (Scream, Cannonball, Alioth) are crucial, although substitutions might be possible. This deck requires advanced planning and board manipulation to maximize Kraven and Scream's effects, with Peni Parker facilitating powerful late-game plays.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker's value is questionable. While generically strong, she isn't currently impactful enough to justify immediate investment. Her effectiveness is expected to increase as Marvel Snap evolves.
