Best Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap

Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow, bringing a unique twist to ramp strategies. Familiar to Spider-Verse fans, Peni Parker's gameplay is anything but straightforward.

Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap

Peni Parker is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a revealing ability: she adds SP//dr to your hand. The real magic happens when she merges; you gain +1 energy on your next turn.

SP//dr, a 3-cost, 3-power card, merges with another card on reveal, granting you the ability to move that merged card on the following turn. This creates a complex, potentially game-changing mechanic. Note that the extra movement from SP//dr is a one-time effect, only active the turn after merging.

The energy bonus isn't limited to SP//dr; merging Peni Parker with cards like Hulk Buster or Agony also triggers the +1 energy.

Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap

Mastering Peni Parker requires time and strategic understanding. While the 5-energy investment for the merge and extra energy might seem steep, synergistic deck building unlocks her full potential. Here are two examples:

Deck 1: Wiccan Synergy

This high-cost deck relies on key Series 5 cards (Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth). The core strategy involves playing Quicksilver, followed by a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye Kate Bishop or Peni Parker) to set up Wiccan's effect. Peni Parker adds consistency, allowing for flexible card choices. The deck offers multiple win conditions with Gorr and Alioth. Cards like Enchantress can be added as tech counters.

Deck 2: Scream Move Strategy

This deck utilizes Peni Parker within a Scream move-style strategy, aiming to manipulate the board and control opponent's cards. Key Series 5 cards include Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth (though Stegron might be a substitute). Agony, while not strictly necessary, complements Peni Parker well. The deck's complexity demands precise planning and anticipation of opponent's moves. Kraven and Scream secure lane control, while Peni Parker enables the deployment of both Alioth and Magneto.

Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?

Currently, Peni Parker's value is questionable. While a generally strong card, her impact might not justify the cost in the current Marvel Snap meta. The combined cost of playing Peni Parker and SP//dr might not be as effective as other, stronger options. However, her potential will likely increase as the game evolves.
