Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, joins the roster 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 Mechanics in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the 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."
Essentially, Peni Parker adds SP//dr to your hand, enabling board manipulation. 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. The SP//dr movement ability is a one-time effect, active only on the turn after merging.
Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker's high energy cost (5 for the combined effect) makes her challenging to utilize effectively. However, she synergizes well with certain cards, particularly Wiccan. Two deck examples illustrate this:
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 facilitate Wiccan's effect. The deck offers multiple win conditions with Gorr and Alioth.
Deck 2 (Scream Move Strategy):
Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto.
This deck focuses on board manipulation using Scream and Kraven. Peni Parker's extra energy and SP//dr's movement ability enhance this strategy, allowing for the deployment of both Alioth and Magneto. 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, she might not be impactful enough in the current Marvel Snap meta to justify immediate Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys. Her effectiveness is likely to increase as the game evolves.
