Following the introduction of Galacta and Luna Snow, the next *Marvel Rivals* themed card to grace *Marvel Snap* is none other than Peni Parker, a familiar face from the acclaimed *Spider-Verse* films. Like Luna Snow, Peni Parker functions as a ramp card, but with a unique twist that sets her apart.

How Peni Parker Works in Marvel Snap

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

While this might seem complex, it essentially means Peni Parker adds a card similar to Hulk Buster to your hand, which grants the ability to move it around the board. The key point is that **any card merging with Peni Parker, not just SP//dr, will grant you +1 energy for your next turn**. This includes cards like Hulk Buster and Agony. SP//dr's movement ability activates the turn after merging and can only be used once.

Best Day One Peni Parker Decks in Marvel Snap

Mastering Peni Parker will take time due to her high energy cost for the merge effect and additional energy. However, she synergizes well with certain cards, particularly Wiccan. Here's a recommended deck:

• 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 can be quite costly, featuring essential Series 5 cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Wiccan, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth. You can swap out other cards for alternatives or tech cards like Enchantress to counter prevalent decks such as Mister Negative. The deck is adaptable, allowing you to substitute cards like Quake for Cable or Juggernaut for Red Guardian based on your preference. The strategy involves playing Quicksilver on turn one, followed by a two-drop like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, or Peni Parker to ensure a 3-cost card is available to activate Wiccan's effect.

Peni Parker adds consistency and flexibility to this deck, thanks to SP//dr's 3-energy cost and movement ability. Triggering Wiccan's effect enables you to play both Gorr and Alioth before the game ends, offering multiple win conditions. This reactive deck requires understanding your opponent's strategy, so feel free to adjust it according to your meta and collection.

Another intriguing deck incorporates Peni Parker into a Scream move-style list, which previously dominated the meta but has since waned. The extra energy from Peni Parker and SP//dr's movement might revive this deck:

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

This deck hinges on Series 5 cards like Scream, Cannonball, and Alioth, with Agony being optional but synergistic with Peni Parker. Mastering this deck involves manipulating your opponent's cards and predicting their movements. Kraven and Scream help win lanes by manipulating both sides of the board. Merging with Peni Parker enables you to play both Alioth and Magneto in a single game, providing additional win conditions.

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

Currently, I would advise against using your 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 than what Peni Parker and SP//dr can offer on turns 2 and 3. However, as *Marvel Snap* evolves, Peni Parker's utility and value may increase, so keep an eye on her for future developments.
