Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow, offering a unique twist on ramp strategies. Fans of the Spider-Verse films will recognize this character. Like Luna Snow, Peni Parker is a ramp card, but with a significant difference.
Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker costs 2 energy and has 3 power. Her ability is: "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."
This combination creates a complex card interaction. Essentially, Peni Parker 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 effect. SP//dr's movement ability, however, only activates the turn after merging and is a one-time effect.
Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker's effectiveness requires strategic understanding. Her 5-energy cost for the combined merge and energy boost is significant, but she synergizes well with certain cards, especially Wiccan. Here are some deck examples:
Deck 1 (Wiccan Synergy):
This deck, featuring Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Peni Parker, Quake, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Guardian, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth, is expensive but flexible. Key Series 5 cards include Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr, and Alioth. Other cards can be substituted based on your collection and meta. The strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye or Peni Parker) to enable Wiccan's effect. Peni Parker adds consistency through SP//dr's movement potential. This deck provides multiple win conditions.
Deck 2 (Scream Move Strategy):
This deck utilizes Peni Parker within a Scream move-style strategy. It includes Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, and Magneto. While Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth are essential Series 5 cards, substitutions might be possible. This deck is complex, requiring advanced board manipulation and prediction. Peni Parker's merge allows for playing both Alioth and Magneto in a single game.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker's value is debatable. While a generally strong card, her impact might not justify immediate investment with the abundance of stronger options in the current Marvel Snap meta. Her potential will likely increase as the game evolves.
