Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow, offering a unique ramp strategy. Familiar to Spider-Verse fans, Peni Parker's gameplay introduces a compelling twist.
Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap
This 2-cost, 3-power card reveals SP//dr to your hand. The key mechanic is merging: a merge with Peni Parker grants +1 energy for your next turn.
SP//dr, a 3-cost, 3-power card, merges with one of your cards upon reveal, allowing you to move that card on the following turn. This movement ability is a one-time effect.
While SP//dr is the intended merge target, other cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger the energy bonus. The combined 5-energy cost for the merge and extra energy makes it a high-investment play.
Optimal Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker's effectiveness hinges on strategic synergy. Early decks often utilize her with Wiccan:
-
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 flexible, allowing substitutions based on your meta and collection. The core strategy revolves around playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye Kate Bishop or Peni Parker) to enable Wiccan's effect, leading to powerful late-game plays with Gorr and Alioth.
-
Scream Move Deck: This alternative deck (Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto) utilizes Peni Parker's energy boost to support a move-based strategy centered around manipulating opponent's cards. Mastering this deck requires advanced planning and prediction.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker's value is debatable. While a generally strong card, her impact may not justify the immediate investment of Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys. The 5-energy cost for the combined effect may not always outperform other high-value plays. However, her potential will likely increase as the Marvel Snap meta evolves.
