Spider-Man's Top Decks Dominate Marvel Snap

Peni Parker, the latest Marvel Rivals themed card in Marvel Snap, arrives after Galacta and Luna Snow, offering a unique ramp strategy. Familiar to fans of Spider-Verse, Peni Parker is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a compelling ability.

Peni Parker's Mechanics in Marvel Snap

On reveal, Peni Parker adds SP//dr to your hand. SP//dr, a 3-cost, 3-power card, merges with another card on the board upon reveal, granting you the ability to move that merged card on your next turn. Crucially, if Peni Parker merges with any card, you gain +1 energy for your next turn. This synergy extends beyond SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony also trigger this bonus energy. The SP//dr movement ability is a one-time effect per turn.

Optimal Peni Parker Deck Strategies

Peni Parker's high energy cost for her effect (5 energy total for the merge and extra energy) necessitates strategic deck building. Her synergies are most potent with cards like Wiccan.

Deck 1: Wiccan Synergy Deck

This deck, featuring Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Peni Parker, Quake, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Red Guardian, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth, leverages Wiccan's ability to create powerful plays. The core strategy involves playing Quicksilver and a 2-cost card (ideally Hawkeye Kate Bishop or Peni Parker) to facilitate Wiccan's effect, enabling the timely deployment of Gorr and Alioth for multiple win conditions. This deck is highly adaptable, allowing for card substitutions based on your meta and collection.

Deck 2: Scream Move Deck

This deck incorporates Peni Parker into a Scream move-style strategy, using Agony, Kingpin, Kraven, Peni Parker, Scream, Juggernaut, Polaris, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Man, Cannonball, Alioth, and Magneto. The focus is on manipulating the board to your advantage using Kraven and Scream, while Peni Parker's energy boost enables the simultaneous play of Alioth and Magneto for additional win conditions. Mastering this deck requires advanced planning and prediction of opponent moves.

Is Peni Parker Worth the Investment?

Currently, Peni Parker's value is debatable. While a generally strong card, her impact might not justify immediate acquisition with Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys, especially considering the availability of stronger options in the current Marvel Snap meta. However, her potential will likely increase as the game evolves.
