Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow. Fans of the Spider-Verse films will recognize this ramp card with a unique twist.

Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap

Peni Parker (2 cost, 3 power) reveals SP//dr to your hand. If Peni Parker merges with another card, you gain +1 energy on your next turn. SP//dr (3 cost, 3 power) merges with one of your cards on reveal, allowing you to move that card on the following turn.

This complex card effectively adds a movable Hulk Buster-like card to your hand. The +1 energy bonus triggers upon any merge with Peni Parker, not just SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also work. SP//dr's movement ability is a one-time effect, active only the turn after merging.

Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap

Mastering Peni Parker requires practice. Her 5-energy merge cost, while powerful, isn't always efficient. However, she synergizes well with certain cards, especially 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; consider replacing cards based on your meta and collection. Enchantress can counter Mister Negative.) The strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye/Kate Bishop or Peni Parker) to enable Wiccan's effect. Peni Parker adds consistency, allowing for flexible card placement with SP//dr. This deck utilizes Gorr and Alioth for win conditions.

Deck 2 (Scream Move Strategy):

Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man (Cannonball), Alioth, Magneto. (Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth are key Series 5 cards; Stegron could potentially replace one. Agony is arguably suboptimal but complements Peni Parker). This deck focuses on manipulating the board with Scream and Kraven, using Peni Parker's merge bonus to play Alioth and Magneto for multiple win conditions. This deck requires strategic planning and opponent prediction.

Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?

Currently, Peni Parker isn't a top priority. While generally useful, her impact isn't significant enough in the current Marvel Snap meta to justify immediate Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys. Her effectiveness will likely increase as the game evolves.
