Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, joins the game 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 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."
This combination creates a complex card interaction. Essentially, Peni Parker adds SP//dr to your hand, allowing you to move a card on the board. 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 extra move from SP//dr, however, 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 full effect) makes her a challenging card to master. Her synergies are best realized with specific cards, particularly Wiccan.
Wiccan-centric Deck: This deck features Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Peni Parker, Quake, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Guardian, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth. This is a flexible deck; some cards can be substituted depending on your meta and collection. The strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye Kate Bishop or Peni Parker) to set up Wiccan's effect. This allows for playing Gorr and Alioth before the end of the game, creating multiple win conditions.
Scream Move Deck: This deck incorporates Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man (Cannonball), Alioth, and Magneto. This deck focuses on manipulating the board using Scream and Kraven, and Peni Parker's energy boost enables playing Alioth and Magneto in a single game. However, this is a highly strategic deck requiring advanced planning.
Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?
Currently, Peni Parker may not be worth the Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys. While a generally useful card, her impact isn't significant enough in the current Marvel Snap meta to justify the investment. Her effectiveness is expected to increase as the game evolves.
