Best Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap

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, but with a unique twist.

Understanding Peni Parker in Marvel Snap

Peni Parker costs 2 energy and boasts 3 power. Her ability reads: "On Reveal: Add SP//dr to your hand. When this merges, you get +1 Energy next turn."

SP//dr, a 3-cost, 3-power card, has the ability: "On Reveal: Merge with one of your cards here. You can move that card next turn."

This card combination is complex. Essentially, Peni Parker adds SP//dr to your hand, allowing board manipulation. Crucially, merging any card with Peni Parker grants +1 energy for your next turn. This isn't limited to SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger this bonus. The SP//dr movement ability is a one-time effect, active only the turn after merging.

Top Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap (Day One)

Peni Parker's effectiveness requires strategic understanding. While the 5-energy cost for the merge and extra energy is significant, synergies exist, particularly with Wiccan. Consider these deck options:

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 costly, requiring several Series 5 cards (Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr, Alioth). Flexibility exists; replacements for cards like Quake are possible, and tech cards such as Enchantress can be incorporated. The strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye or Peni Parker) to enable Wiccan's effect. Peni Parker adds consistency and flexibility due to SP//dr's movement capabilities. The deck offers multiple win conditions with Gorr and Alioth.

Deck 2 (Scream Move Strategy):

Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, Magneto.

This deck utilizes a Scream move-style, previously meta-dominant. Peni Parker's extra energy and SP//dr's movement potential could revitalize this strategy. Series 5 cards (Scream, Cannonball, Alioth) are essential, though potential substitutions exist. Agony's inclusion is debatable but synergizes with Peni Parker. Mastering this deck requires predicting opponent actions and manipulating the board effectively using Kraven and Scream. Peni Parker enables playing Alioth and Magneto in a single game.

Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?

Currently, Peni Parker's value is questionable. While a generally strong card, Marvel Snap's current meta demands more impactful plays. The 2-energy Peni Parker/3-energy SP//dr combination may not be sufficient. However, her potential will likely increase as Marvel Snap evolves.
