Best Lasher Decks in Marvel Snap

Unlocking Lasher in Marvel Snap: A Symbiotic Addition?

While the Marvel Rivals season in Marvel Snap winds down, a free reward awaits: Lasher, a holdover from October's "We Are Venom" season, obtainable through the returning High Voltage game mode. But is this new symbiote worth the effort?

Lasher's Mechanics 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, Lasher inflicts -2 power on an opponent's card unless boosted. Given Marvel Snap's numerous buff options, Lasher offers more potential than other free cards like Agony and King Etri. Cards like Namora can significantly increase Lasher's power, potentially transforming him into a game-changer with Wong or Odin. 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

While Lasher's meta position is still developing, he fits well into buff-heavy decks like 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 are possible (Juggernaut, Polaris). Lasher serves as a third target for Forge, often paired with Brood or Sebastian Shaw. With Galacta played on turn 4, Lasher becomes a valuable final-turn play, effectively a 10-power card after Galacta's buff.

Another deck showcasing Lasher's potential, though highly expensive, is:

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) to buff Lasher and other cards. Zabu and Psylocke accelerate the deployment of 4-cost cards, while Jeff! and Hulk Buster provide backup.

Is the High Voltage Grind Worth It?

Considering Marvel Snap's increasing cost, Lasher is a worthwhile acquisition if you have the time to grind High Voltage. The mode offers various rewards before unlocking Lasher. While not guaranteed to be a meta mainstay, like Agony, Lasher will likely find a place in several meta-relevant decks.
