Following the successful integration of Galacta and Luna Snow, *Marvel Snap* enthusiasts are set to welcome Peni Parker, a familiar face from the *Spider-Verse* films, as the next *Marvel Rivals* themed card. Much like Luna Snow, Peni Parker is classified as a ramp card, but she introduces a unique twist to the gameplay.
How Peni Parker Works in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker is a 2-cost card with 3 power. Her ability states: "On Reveal: Add SP//dr to your hand. When this merges, you get +1 Energy next turn." SP//dr, on the other hand, is a 3-cost card with 3 power and the ability: "On Reveal: Merge with one of your cards here. You can move that card next turn." While this might sound complex, it essentially means Peni Parker introduces a card similar to Hulk Buster that can move around the board. Importantly, merging any card with Peni Parker grants you an extra energy for your next turn, not just SP//dr. Cards like Hulk Buster and Agony can also merge with her to gain this energy boost. SP//dr's move ability only activates the turn after merging and is a one-time effect.
Best Day One Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap
Peni Parker's mechanics may take time to master due to her high energy cost for merging and the subsequent energy gain. However, she synergizes well with Wiccan, making her a valuable addition to specific decks. Here’s a suggested deck list:
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 on the pricier side, with key Series 5 cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth being essential. Other cards can be substituted with alternatives or tech cards like Enchantress, especially considering the prevalence of Mister Negative decks. The deck is flexible, allowing players to swap in preferred cards, such as Quake over Cable or Juggernaut over Red Guardian. The strategy involves playing Quicksilver on turn one, followed by a two-drop like Hawkeye or Peni Parker to ensure a three-cost card for Wiccan's effect. Peni Parker adds consistency and flexibility, particularly with SP//dr's movement capability. With Wiccan's effect, you can deploy both Gorr and Alioth before the game's end, offering multiple win conditions. This reactive deck demands an understanding of the opponent's strategy, so feel free to adjust the deck to suit your meta and collection.
For a different approach, consider this move-style deck featuring Peni Parker:
Agony Kingpin Kraven Peni Parker Scream Juggernaut Polaris Spider-Man Miles Morales Spider-Man Cannonball Alioth Magneto
This list includes necessary Series 5 cards like Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth, though you might consider swapping one for Stegron. Agony, while not essential, pairs well with Peni Parker. Mastering this deck requires anticipating your opponent's moves and strategically manipulating the board. Kraven and Scream help secure lanes by manipulating both sides of the board. Merging Peni Parker enables playing both Alioth and Magneto, offering additional win conditions.
Is Peni Parker Worth Collector’s Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys?
Currently, I wouldn't recommend spending Collector’s Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys on Peni Parker. While she is a solid card, her immediate impact in *Marvel Snap* may not justify the investment. Playing Peni Parker on turn two and SP//dr on turn three lacks the punch compared to other plays. However, as *Marvel Snap* evolves, we might see more opportunities for Peni Parker to shine.
