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 Gameplay in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker (2 cost, 3 power) has the ability: "On Reveal: Add SP//dr to your hand. When this merges, you get +1 Energy next turn." SP//dr (3 cost, 3 power) 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, a movable card, to your hand. 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 and is a one-time effect.
Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker's high energy cost (5 for the combined effect) requires strategic synergy. Her best pairings are currently with Wiccan. Here are two example decks:
Deck 1 (Wiccan Synergy):
Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Peni Parker, Quake, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Guardian, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth
This deck is flexible, allowing substitutions based on your meta and collection. The core strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye or Peni Parker) to enable Wiccan's effect. This setup allows for playing Gorr and Alioth before the end of the game, creating multiple win conditions.
Deck 2 (Scream Move Style):
Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto
This deck manipulates opponent's cards, using Kraven and Scream to control lanes. Peni Parker's merge effect facilitates playing both Alioth and Magneto in a single game. This deck requires advanced planning and prediction.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker's value is debatable. While a generically good card, she may not be impactful enough in the current Marvel Snap meta to justify immediate Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys. Her effectiveness is expected to increase as the game evolves.
