Card guide
Lorcana cards explained
More than 2000 Lorcana cards have been released since 2023. Inks, card types, rarities, numbering: here are the keys to understanding and collecting Disney Lorcana TCG cards.
The six inks
Every Lorcana card belongs to one of six inks, which define a deck’s identity and playstyle. A deck combines at most two inks.
Amethyst
Magic and manipulation: drawing, moving, controlling the pace of the game.
Emerald
Cunning and adaptation: dodging, redirecting and surprising your opponent.
Ruby
Daring and speed: aggressive attackers that take risks.
Sapphire
Intellect and ramp: building resources to deploy big threats.
Steel
Raw strength and resilience: soaking up damage and dominating combat.
Card types
A Lorcana deck mixes several card types, each with a precise role.
Characters
The heart of the game: they quest to earn lore and challenge opposing characters.
Actions
One-shot immediate effects that can turn a game around.
Songs
Special actions inspired by Disney music, which characters can sing instead of paying their cost.
Items

Locations

The backbone of every set, ideal for starting out and building first decks.
