Discover the Top Lasher Decks for Marvel Snap Success

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

Lasher's Mechanics in Marvel Snap

Lasher is a 2-cost, 2-power card with the ability: "Activate: Afflict an enemy card here with negative Power equal to this card’s Power."

Essentially, Lasher inflicts -2 power on an opponent's card unless boosted. Given Marvel Snap's numerous buff options, Lasher offers more potential than free cards like Agony and King Etri.

For example, Namora can boost Lasher to 7 power, or even 12 (or more with Wong/Odin), making him a potent -14 or -24 power play. He synergizes particularly well with the season pass card, Galacta.

Remember: As an "Activate" card, playing Lasher by turn 5 maximizes his impact.

Optimal Lasher Decks in Marvel Snap

While Lasher's meta position is still developing, he fits well into buff-heavy decks, especially Silver Surfer. While Surfer decks usually lack space for 2-cost cards, Lasher's late-game activation provides significant power swings. Consider this decklist:

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 – excluding the season pass card). However, most (except Galacta) can be substituted with strong 3-cost alternatives like Juggernaut or Polaris.

Lasher serves as an excellent third target for Forge, ideally saved for Brood or Sebastian Shaw. After playing Galacta on turn 4, buff options often run dry, making Lasher a valuable addition. A 5-power Lasher (via Galacta) inflicting -5 power is effectively a 10-power play, requiring no extra energy on the final turn.

This Silver Surfer deck is flexible; consider omitting Absorbing Man, Gwenpool, and Sera. Lasher thrives in current meta decks with strong hand and board buffs. While he might find a niche in affliction decks without buffs, experimentation with Namora as a primary booster is promising.

Another potential decklist (from Untapped):

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

This is a very expensive deck, heavily reliant on several essential Series 5 cards (Scarlet Spider, Galacta, Gwenpool, Symbiote Spider-Man, Namora). Jeff! can be swapped for Nightcrawler.

This deck aims to leverage Galacta, Gwenpool, and Namora to buff Lasher and Scarlet Spider, spreading power across the board. Zabu and Psylocke accelerate 4-cost card deployment, and Symbiote Spider-Man reactivates Namora. Jeff! and Hulk Buster offer backup.

Is Lasher Worth the High Voltage Grind?

In increasingly expensive Marvel Snap, Lasher is worth acquiring if you have the time to grind High Voltage. It offers numerous rewards before unlocking Lasher. He might not become meta-defining, but like Agony, he'll likely see play in several relevant decks.
