Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow, offering a unique twist on ramp strategies. Familiar to Spider-Verse fans, this 2-cost, 3-power card introduces SP//dr to your hand upon reveal. SP//dr, a 3-cost, 3-power card, merges with another card on reveal, granting that card movement on the following turn. The key synergy: merging any card with Peni Parker grants +1 energy for your next turn.
Peni Parker's Gameplay in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker's mechanics are initially complex. While the 5-energy investment for the merge and extra energy might seem high, strategic synergies exist, particularly with Wiccan.
Top Peni Parker Decks
Two deck archetypes highlight Peni Parker's potential:
Deck 1: Wiccan Synergy Deck This high-cost deck leverages Wiccan's ability, requiring key Series 5 cards like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth. Other slots are flexible, allowing for customization based on your meta and collection. The strategy centers around playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye Kate Bishop or Peni Parker) to set up Wiccan's effect. Peni Parker's added consistency and SP//dr's movement enhance this strategy.
Deck 2: Scream Move Deck This deck incorporates Peni Parker into a previously popular "Scream move" strategy, potentially revitalizing it. Essential Series 5 cards include Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth (although Stegron might be a substitute). While Agony isn't strictly necessary, it complements Peni Parker well. Mastering this deck requires predicting opponent actions and manipulating cards across the board, leveraging Kraven and Scream to gain power. Peni Parker's merge enables 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, she lacks the immediate impact of other options in the current Marvel Snap meta. Her 2-cost and 3-cost play sequence may not always be impactful enough. However, her potential will likely increase as the game evolves.
