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. Fans of the Spider-Verse films will recognize this character. Like Luna Snow, Peni Parker is a ramp card, but with a significant difference.

Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap

Peni Parker is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a revealing ability: it adds SP//dr to your hand. If Peni Parker merges with another card, you gain +1 energy on your next turn.

SP//dr, a 3-cost, 3-power card, merges with one of your cards upon reveal, allowing you to move that card on your next turn. This merging ability is a key component of Peni Parker's strategy.

This card combination can be confusing initially. Essentially, Peni Parker provides a Hulk Buster-esque card that offers board manipulation. The crucial point: any merge with Peni Parker awards you extra energy for the following turn. This isn't limited to SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger this energy bonus. The extra move from SP//dr is a one-time effect, usable only the turn after merging.

Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap

Mastering Peni Parker requires time and practice. Her 5-energy cost for the merge and extra energy is substantial, but she synergizes well with certain cards, especially Wiccan. Here are some deck examples:

Deck 1: Wiccan Synergy

This deck (Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Peni Parker, Quake, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Guardian, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth) is expensive, requiring several Series 5 cards (Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr, Alioth). Other cards can be substituted based on your meta and collection. The strategy focuses on 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, and Wiccan's triggered effect allows for playing Gorr and Alioth before the end of the game. This is a reactive deck, requiring adaptation based on your opponent.

Deck 2: Scream Move Strategy

This deck (Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto) utilizes a Scream move style. While Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth are essential Series 5 cards (Stegron could replace one), Agony's inclusion is debatable. This deck focuses on board manipulation using Kraven and Scream, leveraging Peni Parker's merge for additional energy to play Alioth and Magneto. This deck demands strategic foresight, predicting opponent moves several turns in advance.

Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?

Currently, Peni Parker isn't a top priority. While a generally strong card, her impact isn't substantial enough in the current Marvel Snap meta. The 2-cost Peni Parker and 3-cost SP//dr play isn't as powerful as many other options. However, her value may increase as the game evolves.
