Top Lasher Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

As we approach the end of the *Marvel Rivals* themed season in *Marvel Snap*, a lingering reward from the October's We Are Venom season is up for grabs for free, provided you're willing to grind the returning High Voltage game mode. But is this latest symbiote, Lasher, worth the effort?

How Lasher Works in Marvel Snap

Lasher is a 2-cost card with 2 power, and its ability states: "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 true potential shines when buffed. With numerous buffing options in *Marvel Snap*, Lasher stands out among other free cards like Agony and King Etri.

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, effectively making Lasher a 14 or 24 power play. Lasher synergizes exceptionally well with the season pass card, Galacta.

Remember, as an Activate card, you must draw and play Lasher by turn 5 to maximize its effect.

Best Lasher Decks in Marvel Snap

While it may take time for Lasher to find its niche, one of the best meta decks with buff options is the Silver Surfer deck. Although typically tight on 2-cost slots, activating Lasher on the final turn can lead to significant power swings. Here’s a recommended list:

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

This deck features high-cost Series 5 cards like Red Guardian, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, and Galacta (if you have the season pass). However, you can substitute all but Galacta with other strong 3-cost cards like Juggernaut or Polaris.

Lasher serves as an excellent third target for Forge, though you might prefer to save it for Brood or Sebastian Shaw. After playing Galacta on turn 4, you often run out of buff targets, making Lasher a valuable addition. A 2-cost card with 5 power, thanks to Galacta, that afflicts an opposing card with -5 power effectively becomes a 10-power card without additional energy cost on the final turn.

This Silver Surfer deck is straightforward and open to experimentation; notable exclusions include Absorbing Man, Gwenpool, and Sera.

Lasher is likely to find a home in this meta deck due to its hand and board buffs. While it might also fit into affliction decks without buffs, there's potential for experimentation with Namora as a premier 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 expensive, requiring several Series 5 cards: Scarlet Spider, Galacta, Gwenpool, Symbiote Spider-Man, and Namora. Jeff can be swapped for Nightcrawler.

If you have these cards, this deck promises potency, relying on Galacta, Gwenpool, and Namora to buff cards like Lasher and Scarlet Spider, which then activate and spread power across the board. Zabu and Psylocke help play these 4-cost cards early, while Symbiote Spider-Man reactivates Namora. Jeff! and Hulk Buster offer additional support and flexibility if your draws aren't ideal.

Is Lasher Worth Playing High Voltage For?

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