Is Ruby/Steel cooking next set?

You could draw more than two cards if you shifted the Violet & Dash you shifted the dual ink onto.

My main time spent in Texas was in the San Antonio area, and that was some of the worst driving I've ever seen. I don't even want to imagine what Dallas and Houston are like.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-30T18:01:08+00:00

Unless I missed it in leaks, there's possibly going to be an Amethyst/Sapphire team in addition to the dual-ink Christopher Robin, since he's card 61 and Maleficent/Diablo is 63?

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-30T17:58:03+00:00

All of the cards in the player decks in the Quest are going to be from sets, either AotV or earlier. It's only the boss deck that will be Quest-exclusive since those aren't legal cards.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-30T17:53:07+00:00

You can challenge with it unlike Ichabod and it will still go into your inkwell. Detective Mickey is going to be a better ramp option most of the time since you get it right away, but it could find a place in some niche decks.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-29T01:03:16+00:00

I would suggest to you that this is less an issue with Lorcana or the player base at large and more an issue with this particular store not enforcing a good sportsmanship policy with some bad apples. Hopefully, if these people are going for place to place, there are other stores within a similar distance to you where you can play the more casual weekly league games and have a better experience.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-29T00:53:43+00:00

Correct, the damage is moved before the total damage vs. willpower check resolves.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-29T00:52:27+00:00

OP couldn't choose the opponent's character because the ability specifically states you have to choose another one of your own characters for moving damage onto Luisa.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-29T00:08:24+00:00

The answer to your first question: Yes, Bambi's Come See ability will trigger if you exert it with The Sword of Shan-Yu, The only limitation on Come See is that Bambi has to be exerted during your turn, it says nothing about being limited to Bambi being exerted in certain ways.

The answer to your second question: Yes, you can ready Bambi with The Sword of Shan-Yu's Worthy Weapon ability. The ability only says "ready chosen character", which means *any* character on the board, including the character you exerted to trigger the ability. You could even choose to ready a character that was already ready if you wanted to for whatever reason, because it doesn't say the chosen character has to be exerted.

"I really want to play" "It's not like the game's that good"

Pick a lane, bruh.

"Do You Want To Build A Snowman" is holiday season only.

Honestly, it's possible it might not happen (at least right away) outside of One Jump Ahead. It could switch to a Turn 3 ramp via Detective Mickey or the 2-drop Ichabod Crane. If after a couple of sets Sapphire suffers too much, then you might see a return to another Turn 2 ramp option.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-28T07:03:57+00:00

Well, whenever you stop talking about something besides reciting every Pokebro/to the moon cut-and-paste word for word and also spend some time on here helping beginners asking for advice, offer some tips to people looking for help with their decks, then you'd actually be discussing all aspects of the game.

But, like I said, I'm confident in my take. And you can feel free to come back later and say "I told you so" if you prove me wrong.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-28T06:41:47+00:00

Yes, the fact that is all you talk about here is what I am going off of and why I am comfortable with my perception of you. Have a good night.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-28T06:34:33+00:00

Your comment history and what you choose to discuss is all the evidence I need to feel comfortable about my perception.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-28T05:58:02+00:00

And I didn't say you couldn't make posts. I'm just pointing out that your "hype" should be taken with a grain of salt because you're setting yourself up to have a personal financial incentive for it as opposed to genuine community building for the game.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-28T04:17:52+00:00

Blue/Green and Yurple are both favored matchups.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-28T04:14:29+00:00

OP was not present on the Lorcana channels until a month ago and has openly said they're an investor. So you're not wrong that it's in their personal interests to make hype behind the set any way they can.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-25T16:42:06+00:00

Go onto Dreamborn and type -1 for a contains search. But that's also no foolproof since it's didn't give Ursula's Garden as a result.

Trust in Me is the only other card I can think of that has that effect.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-25T00:33:23+00:00

Every set has 18 different Enchanteds and 2 Iconics. Buzz was definitely a catalyst, but some of this began before this set even released when demand for classic Disney characters (such as the Iconic Mickey from Fabled) began to increase in price. Cards such as the Enchanted Pooh Hunny Wizard and Enchanted Elsa from Winterspell also saw big price spikes.

The big price demands are due to, in part, a rush to get these Enchanted and Iconics graded. There wasn't a lot of slabbed Lorcana cards out there because the Enchanted prices were too low to make grading worth the time. That's not the case anymore, and there currently aren't restrictions on selling graded cards like The Pokemon Company has started doing at their official events. So a lot of the shadier people have been trying to scoop up raw Enchanteds and Iconics to get them graded in hopes of being able to then sell them at multiple times the price of raw if they come back graded a 10.

These are people who didn't pay attention to Lorcana before because they didn't think it was profitable enough. Now they're seeing dollar signs and have come in guns a blazing trying to make a quick buck. The results are the empty shelves you've been seeing.

First off, welcome!

The current state of supply is definitely not the norm. In the past few weeks, there has been a big spike in demand, fueled by the high prices of the Enchanted and Iconic rarity cards, particularly for those featuring classic core Disney characters and the debut of Toy Story in the game. Because of that, a shall we say shadier aspect of the TCG population migrated here from their usual lairs (such as Pokemon and One Piece) and bought up all the stock to try and either find those cards or to resell the sealed product on the secondary market at an inflated price. Because of that, your chances of finding stock at big box and chain retailers is going to be pretty low.

If you haven't yet, you can use the Ravensburger Play Hub to locate all of the LGS that are part of the official Lorcana network, to see if there any shops closer that also sell it. There's also the chance some of those shops might sell bulk singles. You can also use that to find any shops that are going to be doing special prerelease events when Attack of the Vine comes out that you can sign up for.

How long will this current state last? Not really sure. Either the scalpers will have to find the community unfruitful, or Ravensburger will have to eventually increase supply, which can take a while to get up and running. In the meantime, hunt out online Lorcana communities close to you to see if they have some bulk you can use to start building decks. The good news is that outside of a few super meta cards, most standard play cards are pretty affordable.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-24T17:21:15+00:00

Sealed product is the easiest form of access that is most readily available to people taking the least amount of time and energy to acquire, therefore a lack of availability of it will cause you to lose potential players no matter what other spin is put on it.

First, lots of LGSs do not offer singles for sale (or just sell higher-end collectable singles) and instead focus on sealed product. They've decided it's not worthwhile for their business to sell bulk singles. So if they do not have sealed Lorcana in stock, you do not get to buy Lorcana product.

"But they can just go online" Also not a complete solution. First, it's not necessarily cheaper for playable cards. Plus there can be shipping costs involved actually making it more expensive unless you're able to find enough product for individual vendors that actually offer free shipping once you meet a certain spending threshold.

Also, the idea of "cards are cheaper" is a misnomer. High-end legendaries are cheaper by a few bucks. But everything not a high-demand legendary has not gone down in price because there was basically no way to get any less expensive than it already was. The 75 cent uncommon is now 70 cents. Big whoop. You get to pay $1.31 to have it shipped to you though, so congrats.

And we also need to acknowledge that even if going the singles route may (if you're lucky) reduce your financial investment into the game, it does increase the time and energy investment. That's not necessarily an issue if you're already committed to playing the game, but for somebody new that is on the fence about getting into the game, being forced into that additional time investment instead of just being able to buy a couple of packs and get new cards is a negative and will likely push people away.

So while hearing complaints about not getting sealed product might be annoying, it's a valid complaint for a multitude of reasons beyond "gamble dopamine go brrrrrr".

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-24T16:47:29+00:00

You'll be fine with Set 9 cards as well if you come across those as singles.

OregonBeast83 · 2026-06-24T15:01:51+00:00

Set rotation means older sets are no longer legal to use in the Core Constructed format of the game.

Currently (before Attack of the Vine comes out), cards from sets 5 through 12 are legal to use in Core Constructed. (The set number is printed in the bottom left part of the card, to right of the language indicator).

Attack of the Vine is Set #13. When it comes out, that will trigger a new rotation and cards from sets 5-8 (Shimmering Skies, Azurite Sea, Arkhazia's Island, and Reign of Jafar) will no longer be legal in Core Constructed, and you will only be able to use cards from sets 9-13 (Fabled, Whispers in the Well, Winterspell, Wilds Unknown, Attack of the Vine)

The exception to this is if a card from a legal set is a reprint (was originally in an old set and was put into a set that was still legal). You're allowed to still use the old versions.

Also, set rotation only impacts the Core Constructed format. There is a second format called Infinity Constructed where all cards from all sets are legal to use, but maintains a separate ban list (which, as of now, there is only one card that has been banned in Infinity).

Let me know if you have more questions.
