Following the releases of Galacta and Luna Snow, the next *Marvel Rivals* themed card to join *Marvel Snap* is none other than Peni Parker, a beloved character from the *Spider-Verse* movies. Like Luna Snow, Peni Parker serves as a ramp card but with a unique twist that adds a new layer of strategy to the game.

How Peni Parker Works in Marvel Snap

Peni Parker is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: "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, 3-power card with an ability that states: "On Reveal: Merge with one of your cards here. You can move that card next turn."

This might seem complex at first glance, but essentially, Peni Parker adds a card similar to Hulk Buster to your hand, which allows you to move it around the board. The key feature is that when any card merges with Peni Parker, you gain an additional energy for your next turn. This doesn't have to be SP//dr; cards like Hulk Buster and Agony can also merge with Peni Parker to provide the energy boost. As for SP//dr, the extra move is only available on the turn following the merge and can only be used once.

Best Day One Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap

Peni Parker is a card that will require some time to master due to her unique mechanics. With a total cost of 5 energy for the merge effect and the extra energy, she's a bit pricey, but she synergizes well with certain cards, particularly Wiccan. Here's a sample deck:

• Quicksilver
• Fenris Wolf
• Hawkeye
• Kate Bishop
• Peni Parker
• Quake
• Negasonic Teenage Warhead
• Red Guardian
• Gladiator
• Shang-Chi
• Wiccan
• Gorr the God Butcher
• Alioth

You can copy this list from Untapped by clicking here. This deck is on the expensive side, with key Series 5 cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth being essential. Other cards can be swapped out for alternatives or tech cards like Enchantress, depending on the meta. The deck is flexible, allowing you to tailor it to your preferences, such as using 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 you have a three-cost card for Wiccan's effect. Peni Parker adds consistency and flexibility with SP//dr's three-energy cost and movement ability. With Wiccan's effect triggered, you can play both Gorr and Alioth before the game ends, offering multiple win conditions. This deck requires a good understanding of your opponent's strategy, so feel free to adjust it based on your personal meta and collection.

Another deck I've put together features Peni Parker in a Scream move-style list, which was once a dominant force in the meta but has since declined. The extra energy from Peni Parker and the movement from SP//dr could revitalize this deck:

• Agony
• Kingpin
• Kraven
• Peni Parker
• Scream
• Juggernaut
• Polaris
• Spider-Man
• Miles Morales
• Spider-Man
• Cannonball
• Alioth
• Magneto

You can copy this list from Untapped by clicking here. Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth are crucial Series 5 cards, though you might consider swapping one for Stegron. Agony isn't necessary and might be suboptimal, but she synergizes well with Peni Parker. Mastering this deck involves manipulating your opponent's cards and predicting their movements a few turns ahead. Kraven and Scream help you win lanes by manipulating both sides of the board. Merging with Peni Parker allows you to play both Alioth and Magneto in a single game, providing multiple win conditions.

Is Peni Parker Worth Collector’s Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys?

At the moment, I wouldn't recommend spending Collector's Tokens or Spotlight Cache Keys on Peni Parker. While she is a solid card, the current meta of *Marvel Snap* demands more impactful plays. Playing Peni Parker on turn 2 and SP//dr on turn 3 doesn't offer enough value compared to other strategies. However, as *Marvel Snap* evolves, we may see Peni Parker become more relevant and valuable in the future.
