Best Lasher Decks in Marvel Snap

Marvel Snap's Marvel Rivals season is winding down, but a freebie from October's We Are Venom season remains: Lasher, obtainable through the High Voltage game mode. Is this symbiote worth the effort? Let's find out.

Lasher in Marvel Snap

Lasher is a 2-power, 2-cost card with the ability: "Activate: Afflict an enemy card here with negative Power equal to this card’s Power." Essentially, he inflicts -2 power on an opponent's card unless boosted. Unlike free cards like Agony and King Etri, Lasher's potential is significantly higher due to Marvel Snap's buffing mechanics.

Cards like Namora can boost Lasher to 7 power, or even 12 (with Wong or Odin), creating a -14 or -24 power swing. He synergizes particularly well with the season pass card, Galacta. Remember, as an "Activate" card, playing Lasher by turn 5 maximizes his impact.

Top Lasher Decks

While Lasher's meta position is still developing, he fits well into buff-heavy decks, especially Silver Surfer. Here's a sample deck:

Nova, Forge, Lasher, Okoye, Brood, Silver Surfer, Killmonger, Nakia, Red Guardian, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, Galacta. (Copyable from Untapped)

This deck features expensive Series 5 cards (Red Guardian, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, Galacta), but substitutes like Juggernaut or Polaris can replace most except Galacta. Lasher serves as a third target for Forge, often used on Brood or Sebastian Shaw. After playing Galacta on turn 4, Lasher becomes crucial, transforming into a 10-power play (a 5-power card inflicting -5 power) with Galacta's buff. This Silver Surfer deck is adaptable; consider removing Absorbing Man, Gwenpool, and Sera.

Another potential deck, though very expensive, centers around Namora as the primary buff:

Agony, Zabu, Lasher, Psylocke, Hulk Buster, Jeff!, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Spider, Galacta, Gwenpool, Symbiote Spider-Man, Namora. (Copyable from Untapped)

This deck relies heavily on Series 5 cards (Scarlet Spider, Galacta, Gwenpool, Symbiote Spider-Man, Namora), requiring specific card synergies to maximize Lasher's and Scarlet Spider's potential. Zabu and Psylocke facilitate early deployment of 4-cost cards, while Symbiote Spider-Man reactivates Namora. Jeff! and Hulk Buster provide backup.

Is Lasher Worth Grinding For?

Given Marvel Snap's increasing cost, Lasher is a worthwhile addition if you have the time to grind High Voltage. High Voltage offers various rewards before unlocking Lasher. While not a guaranteed meta staple, like Agony, he'll likely prove useful in several meta-relevant decks.
