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 returning High Voltage game mode. But is this symbiote worth the effort?

How Lasher Works 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." Basically, he inflicts -2 power on an opponent's card unless buffed. This opens up possibilities beyond similar free cards like Agony and King Etri, thanks to *Marvel Snap*'s buffing mechanics.

For example, Namora can boost Lasher to 7 power, or even 12 (or 24 with Wong or Odin), making him a potent -7 or -12 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.

Best Lasher Decks in Marvel Snap

While Lasher's meta position is still developing, he fits well into buff-heavy decks, especially Silver Surfer variants. These decks often lack space for 2-cost cards, but Lasher's late-game activation provides significant power swings.

Here's an example deck:

Nova, Forge, Lasher, Okoye, Brood, Silver Surfer, Killmonger, Nakia, Red Guardian, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, Galacta: Daughter of Galactus [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck features expensive Series 5 cards (Red Guardian, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, Galacta). However, excluding Galacta, these can be substituted with other strong 3-cost cards like Juggernaut or Polaris. Lasher serves as a valuable third target for Forge, ideally saved for Brood or Sebastian Shaw. After playing Galacta on turn 4, Lasher becomes crucial, turning into a 10-power card (5 power + -5 affliction) with Galacta's buff, without additional energy cost.

This Silver Surfer deck is adaptable; consider omitting Absorbing Man, Gwenpool, and Sera.

Another example, though significantly more expensive, leverages Namora as the primary buff card:

Agony, Zabu, Lasher, Psylocke, Hulk Buster, Jeff!, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Spider, Galacta: Daughter of Galactus, Gwenpool, Symbiote Spider-Man, Namora [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck heavily relies on Series 5 cards (Scarlet Spider, Galacta, Gwenpool, Symbiote Spider-Man, Namora). Jeff! can be replaced with Nightcrawler. The strategy centers on Galacta, Gwenpool, and Namora to buff Lasher and Scarlet Spider, spreading power across the board. Zabu and Psylocke facilitate early play of 4-cost cards, while Symbiote Spider-Man reactivates Namora. Jeff! and Hulk Buster offer backup.

Is Lasher Worth Grinding High Voltage For?

Given *Marvel Snap*'s increasing cost, Lasher is worthwhile if you have the time to grind High Voltage. The mode offers various rewards alongside Lasher. He might not become a meta mainstay, but like Agony, he'll likely see play in several relevant decks.
