Disney Lorcana, the enchanting TCG from Ravensburger, has exploded onto the scene, offering a vast array of cards and products to choose from. Whether you're a dedicated player, an avid collector, or a bit of both, this guide will help you navigate the ever-growing world of Lorcana sets.

The First Chapter

Lorcana's debut set, The First Chapter, ignited the TCG world with beloved Disney characters and a strong foundation for gameplay. Ravensburger's reprint between Rise of the Floodborn and Into the Inklands helped meet demand, but it's still a hot commodity.

For Collectors

Sealed products from The First Chapter are highly sought after, making them a smart purchase at a reasonable price. Keep an eye on singles, prioritizing those over cards from other sets when good deals arise. The elusive "Elsa - Spirit of Winter" enchanted card holds the highest value.

Avoid sealed The First Chapter products unless they're priced similarly to other booster displays. Focus on singles for essential cards, as prices continue to climb due to scarcity.

For Players

Do not buy sealed The First Chapter unless they've reached similar pricing to other booster displays. While most legendaries retain some value, it's never guaranteed that you will obtain the same value for cards you've pulled from the booster display.

For singles, it makes sense to prioritize purchasing these first as the prices continue to climb due to scarcity. For most decks, you will find foundational cards in this set.

Rise of the Floodborn

The second set, Rise of the Floodborn, introduced the "Resist" mechanic and characters still relevant in today's meta. While print runs were likely larger than The First Chapter, availability is still somewhat limited.

For Collectors

Sealed Rise of the Floodborn products are a safe bet, thanks to valuable cards like "Beast - Tragic Hero" and the enchanted "Cinderella - Ballroom Sensation."

For Players

Singles are the way to go, even if acquiring a playset of "Beast - Tragic Hero" can be costly.

Into the Inklands

Into the Inklands added "Locations" to Lorcana, and strong examples from this set are still popular. With plentiful supply, there are deals to be found on both sealed products and singles.

For Collectors

Enchanted cards like "Ursula - Deceiver of All" and "Robin Hood - Champion of Sherwood" command top prices, while "Jafar - Striking Illusionist" follows closely behind. Booster displays around $100-$110 could be worth opening for a chance at valuable pulls.

For Players

Singles reign supreme, especially for legendary cards. Keep an eye on the rare "The Queen's Castle - Mirror Chamber," currently valued around $13.

Ursula's Return

The latest set, Ursula's Return, offers even more options. While still widely available, "Diablo - Devoted Herald" and "Sisu - Empowered Sibling" are the most expensive playable cards. As the next set approaches, prices may drop.

For Collectors

Ursula's Return is relatively affordable to complete, so consider cracking packs or buying singles depending on your preferred enchanted cards.

For Players

Singles remain the primary focus, but prices may fluctuate due to upcoming set championships.

Shimmering Skies

Lorcana's next set, Shimmering Skies, arrives in August. Pre-orders are popping up, but it's wise to be cautious.

For Collectors

Prices for singles and sealed products will likely peak around release. Wait for the market to stabilize before jumping in.

For Players

It's too early to assess card values with limited spoilers available. Avoid pre-orders and save your money until you have a clearer picture of the set's impact.

Your Best Bet

Ultimately, the best Lorcana sets for you depend on your individual goals and budget. Collectors may prioritize sealed products from older sets, while players should focus on singles for competitive decks. Remember, the market is constantly shifting, so stay informed and be prepared to adapt your strategy.
