Top Lasher Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

As we near the end of the *Marvel Rivals* themed season in *Marvel Snap*, a gem from the October We Are Venom season, Lasher, is up for grabs for free by grinding the returning High Voltage game mode. But is this latest symbiote worth the effort?

How Lasher Works in Marvel Snap

Lasher is a 2-cost, 2-power card with an intriguing ability: "Activate: Afflict an enemy card here with negative Power equal to this card's Power." At its core, Lasher will reduce an opposing card's power by -2, but its potential skyrockets with the right buffs. Unlike other free cards like Agony and King Etri, Lasher's versatility shines when combined with cards that enhance its power. For example, pairing Lasher with Namora can boost it to a 7-power card, or even a 12-power card if you retrigger Namora with Wong or Odin, turning Lasher into a formidable 14 or 24 power play. Lasher synergizes exceptionally well with the season pass card, Galacta, making it a strategic choice for savvy players. However, remember that as an Activate card, you'll need to play Lasher by turn 5 to maximize its effect.

Best Lasher Decks in Marvel Snap

While Lasher is still finding its niche, it fits well into meta decks with robust buff options. The Silver Surfer deck is a prime example, typically not accommodating many 2-cost cards but making an exception for Lasher due to its potent late-game impact. Here's a suggested deck list:

Nova
Forge
Lasher
Okoye
Brood
Silver Surfer
Killmonger
Nakia
Red Guardian
Sebastian Shaw
Copycat
Galacta: Daughter of Galactus

This deck features high-end Series 5 cards like Red Guardian, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, and Galacta. If you haven't obtained the season pass, you can substitute all except Galacta with other strong 3-cost cards like Juggernaut or Polaris. Lasher serves as an excellent third target for Forge, though you'll typically prioritize Brood or Sebastian Shaw. However, after deploying Galacta on turn 4, Lasher becomes a crucial option for your remaining buffs, turning into a 2-cost, 5-power card that afflicts -5 power to an opposing card, effectively becoming a 10-power play without additional energy costs.

This Silver Surfer list offers flexibility for experimentation; notable exclusions include Absorbing Man, Gwenpool, and Sera. Lasher is most likely to thrive in this meta deck due to its hand and board buff capabilities. It might also find a place in affliction decks or alongside Namora as a key buff card.

Agony
Zabu
Lasher
Psylocke
Hulk Buster
Jeff!
Captain Marvel
Scarlet Spider
Galacta: Daughter of Galactus
Gwenpool
Symbiote Spider-Man
Namora

This deck is quite costly, featuring several Series 5 cards like Scarlet Spider, Galacta, Gwenpool, Symbiote Spider-Man, and Namora. Jeff can be swapped for Nightcrawler if needed. With this lineup, the deck promises potent plays, relying on Galacta, Gwenpool, and Namora to buff Lasher and Scarlet Spider, allowing them to activate and spread power across the board. Zabu and Psylocke aid in deploying these 4-cost cards early, while Symbiote Spider-Man can reactivate Namora. Jeff! and Hulk Buster offer additional flexibility if your draws don't align perfectly.

Is Lasher Worth Playing High Voltage For?

As *Marvel Snap* continues to evolve and become more costly to keep up with, Lasher is definitely worth the grind in High Voltage. This game mode is quick and offers various rewards before you unlock Lasher, making it worthwhile to tackle the challenge missions that refresh every 8 hours. While Lasher may not become a staple in the meta, similar to Agony, it's likely to appear in several meta-relevant decks, adding value to your collection.
