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.
Understanding Peni Parker 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. Crucially, any card merging with Peni Parker grants you +1 energy for your next turn. This isn't limited to SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger this bonus. The extra move from SP//dr, however, 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 expensive. However, she synergizes well with certain cards, particularly Wiccan. Here are some example deck lists:
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 for 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.
Deck 2 (Scream Move Strategy): Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto. This deck manipulates opponent's cards, utilizing Kraven and Scream to control lanes. 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 isn't overwhelmingly significant in the current Marvel Snap meta. The combined cost of playing Peni Parker and SP//dr may not always outweigh other stronger plays. However, her potential will likely increase as the game evolves.
