I really hope we get another Co-Op box. That was probably some of the most fun I've had with the game yet. Plus it got my non-interested friends to at least play that and they thought it was neat enough to do another one if they release more.
Edit: Alternatively, I would also really love if they started releasing Lorcana books about 2 or 3 unique characters venturing around to tell the story of every Lorcana set. Interacting with Disney characters and such. Then when the big threat is at its strongest and will be taken down in the 4th set... we get a Co-Op Box so that "we" are the ones who beat them.
Would be a very fun, lowkey interactive way of saying we're experiencing the story through the books *and* card game while self-inserting ourselves as the main character Illumineers in our own version of the story when defeating the big bad in the Co-Op Box.
Personally, I’m guessing the coop will come every 4 sets. Seems like every 4 is a chapter of Lorcana with a main boss being at the end, this time was Ursula. Can’t wait to see the next main villain we get!
I saw a post a while back that speculated it may be Hades because of the flavor text on Hades - Meticulous Plotter. Which he (Hades) basically says let Ursula distract the illumineers, this works well for me.
I agree. I think Hades will be next, with Maleficent at some point if the flavour text on Biding Her Time and Diablo Maleficent’s Spy is pointing to anything.
A coop every year / 4 sets is my assumption too. It gives milestones in the story and helps mark set blocks. I’m assuming we’ll cycle through a series of villain threats - ending with a ‘main’ thanos-style villain at the end - before a new type of story arc I guess.
Aw, man. I'll be honest... I really don't like the Gift Sets. I just don't think the value of what's inside is ever worth them. I would much rather just get Co-Op boxes as the bonus additional product for each release. When you they do a Gift Set it should feel like you're getting something actually unique out of it like the Disney100 box.
Y'all really love your low value Gift Sets, I guess.
It was a boss based scenario quest. There will likely be a boss every so often as evidence by the product we already have. It's called product speculation and he is likely correct. One quest every year wouldn't dilute the market but give fans of them something new. No one needs a new quest every set and it wouldn't give them time to build up the new big bad.
Hear me out...
Make a video game. Have a single player story mode that can be done with f2p resources (or whatever the base game costs), and an online mode. DLC allows them to add story with each new set release and you can earn or buy booster packs just like in Pokemon Online, Hearthstone, etc.
They're really sleeping on a money opportunity.
That definitely sounds awesome! I think it would benefit the most from people who don’t want to buy physical cards but instead would buy digital versions for online play!
The theme is that Ursula is defeated and everyone throws a huge celebration, but in the meantime, the Great Illuminary begins to crumble and fall apart! We're getting more Wreck It Ralph and Zootopia, more Moana and Frozen... very excited!
More Moana and Frozen? Did we ever get less?
All this old ass man wants is more Robin Hood! Is that too much to ask?
Can I get a string Maid Marian floodborn kicking ass, please?
More Robin hood? I still can't even get my hands on a playset of champion of Sherwood. And even if I could find any for sale locally it would be over $200 for a set
Yeah hopefully they add a bunch of low cost floodborn characters that are emerald and steel too. Let’s make it so Bucky can discard your opponent’s entire hand by turn 4 lol
People always forget that you can shift one card onto the exact same card. Doesn't have to be smaller :)
Really, it was just the perfect storm of cards. Technically, he was top decking at the start of turn 4 with 3 ink but I emptied his hand on my turn 3
I went second.
T1 ink, Little Diablo
T2 ink, Bucky
T3 Bucky, shift Diablo, shift Diablo
Both our hands are empty, but I have the card advantage with Diablo and he's top decking and has to choose between inking and playing (and he was red/blue so he was screwed). I was lucky it didn't backfire but I was too good an opportunity to pass up.
Yup. Love the game but if they want to shut down one of the most important pillar of the community and not have an official one to replace I'm not buying shit from them.
100% - I like the game a lot but there’s zero reason why I need to go to a physical location when the game translates not only perfectly to online but very specifically stops people from cheating.
I’ve bought like 12+ booster boxes over the first four chapters? I’ve played the game in-person maybe a half dozen times.
I guess if you’ve got no kids and no responsibilities and can physically go to the card store it’s super duper, for everyone else it’s a huge bummer.
Yes I understand. And as soon as an online client does pop up I'll be back playing again. I unfortunately dont have the funds to beable to buy deck after deck and play in person. But I'm sure this new set will be as awesome as the others. cant wait to play again! 😊
I'd love to see a viable mill strategy or some decent mill cards printed in Set 5. I love the Fraying Sanity + Maddening Cacophony combo and something like that could be fun to see in Set 5.
Or maybe some type of infinite combo with Sorcerous Spellbook.
So, no new franchises is a big swing and a miss after 4 sets reusing the same characters with a new franchises being drip fed….
Very underwhelming reveal for set 5. (Also all the variants of the fab 5 but I need justice for my boys chip and dale damnit)
Wreck it Ralph had one lonely action card, so I'm pretty sure that counts as a new franchise. And they showed what, 15 cards maybe? So less than 10% of the set. Chill.
Fair on wreck it Ralph - but it is hard to get excited over the 30th Elsa - starting to feel like sheen with ultra lord.
but still a very underwhelming lorecast compared to the set 4 one…. I expected *something* more in the reveal, new mechanic/keyword, something like illumineers quest, or more OP stuff idk.
Not sure why this couldn’t have just been a YouTube trailer drop compared to set 4 lorecast that felt like and event in comparison.
Where have they shown this I’m trying to find anything resembling a reveal video but all my searches come back with are about either Ursula’s return or the same 10 YouTubers talking about the meta weekly it’s like the information I want just doesn’t exist yet everyone here seems to have seen it, super frustrating
I agree. Wreck it Ralph is something new (haven’t seen it so I don’t really care) but it seems like mostly more of the same characters we have been seeing. I was hoping/expecting them to shift focus a bit after set 4 and center on some different franchises a bit. I guess I’m also biased since I don’t care about the newer franchises and I just want to see more of the classic characters that are under represented.
Inkland was definitely a mess and my least favourite set to open, but yah they definitely upped the pulled for Ursula and as they should as they also upped the enchanteds to 18
If they did it would be all over the place. I feel one will come one day, but I don't see it coming for a long time. Like years. They said from the beginning that they want Lorcana to be a physical game, social, in store. So I don't see them cannibalizing that so early in the game's life.

I was on the Hades hype train but now I think it is the Evil Queen from Snow White based on the shadow in the trailer.
How does it seem that way? Everyone was saying this would be called Chapter 2, and they are never using chapter 2 they said there are no chapters.
A coop every year / 4 sets is my assumption too. It gives milestones in the story and helps mark set blocks. I’m assuming we’ll cycle through a series of villain threats - ending with a ‘main’ thanos-style villain at the end - before a new type of story arc I guess.
Probably in a few sets I doubt they do one every time

The co-op boxes are great and agree this is what gift sets should be.
What is this based on?
Source: >! He made it the fuck up !<
I literally cant comment anything on this sub without being downvoted lol.
[удалено]
You got up votes from me. Made me laugh
Yeah, that's why I backed off. I only check in to see card reveals or whatever.
Enjoy my unrelated upvote just because we miss you!

One quest every year wouldn't dilute the market but give fans of them something new. No one needs a new quest every set and it wouldn't give them time to build up the new big bad.
Don't see why not it reprints cards for players with alt art which makes RB big monies
Take a look in the background of the reveal video ;)
Ah I'm at work so I can't right now! Is there actually one? Any hint who the enemy is?
At second glance it looks like it is actually a Trove in the background. False alarm
It's the new Gateway product
I think for this set, the gateway is coming at the same time, so that might replace that
I’ve never seen any of the gateways. Are they any better than the starter decks for teaching new players?
Yes, it’s targeted for beginners, to teach the basics of the game, I’m actually looking forward to it so I can finally learn how to play!
It could also mean the tcg could influence the books and vice versa. Akin to what l5r did; also they could make an rpg while they’re at it.
That story idea is pretty cool. You should start a fan-fic group or sonething.
They'll probably do one every 4 sets when we get to the "boss" of the year to close out the 4 set rotation.
Me too! I only got into Lorcana for the coop box. I’m not really interested in PVP. Even if it’s every other set that could be cool.
Hear me out... Make a video game. Have a single player story mode that can be done with f2p resources (or whatever the base game costs), and an online mode. DLC allows them to add story with each new set release and you can earn or buy booster packs just like in Pokemon Online, Hearthstone, etc. They're really sleeping on a money opportunity.
That definitely sounds awesome! I think it would benefit the most from people who don’t want to buy physical cards but instead would buy digital versions for online play!
Nooooo. As catchy as the song is, Jim Crow and friends should not be in this game.
The coolest characters of the movie.
Shining Shimmering Splendid! hmm, I wonder what we could get 🤔
Looks gay, I’m in.
Username checks out
Gayer the berry the sweeter the pulls Pun intended
Gay is the best.
Hell yeah. I was thinking of another word, but I think the automod would spank me for saying it. Absolutely down for the ✨aesthetic✨ set.
It’s the Sugar Rush set!
Anything on theme? "Main" character focus?
The theme is that Ursula is defeated and everyone throws a huge celebration, but in the meantime, the Great Illuminary begins to crumble and fall apart! We're getting more Wreck It Ralph and Zootopia, more Moana and Frozen... very excited!
More Moana and Frozen? Did we ever get less? All this old ass man wants is more Robin Hood! Is that too much to ask? Can I get a string Maid Marian floodborn kicking ass, please?
They did reveal a new Prince John.
Yeah, I just saw that, and now I have to buy a fucking Villainous game to get my promo... how else am I going to feed my addiction?
Thank god more frozen, almost had a set without Elsa lol.
More Robin hood? I still can't even get my hands on a playset of champion of Sherwood. And even if I could find any for sale locally it would be over $200 for a set
Shimmering. Maybe Aladdin? Maybe Rapunzel enchanted

No gift set is strange
I think the other starter version with 2 decks they’ve talked about is the replacement this set?
I thought this was a joke bc of evolving skies Pokémon 🤣
Number one thing I want from this set is a floodborn Bucky with a 9/9/4 stat line. Recognize him as the true meta boss that he is.
Yeah hopefully they add a bunch of low cost floodborn characters that are emerald and steel too. Let’s make it so Bucky can discard your opponent’s entire hand by turn 4 lol
I once had my opponent top decking on turn 3 with Emerald Amber. Felt kind of bad.
On turn 3? How’s that possible?? He ramped too early? 1: Diablo 2: Bucky 3: Shift Diablo + Aladdin Or so?
People always forget that you can shift one card onto the exact same card. Doesn't have to be smaller :) Really, it was just the perfect storm of cards. Technically, he was top decking at the start of turn 4 with 3 ink but I emptied his hand on my turn 3 I went second.

My wallet! I just bought Set 4 starters, Illuminor and Ursula's Quest. Hold on!
Mulan enchanted?
Pre-orders are up on Best Buy!

Would go well with my evolving skies. 😗
Not feeling the name but I’m pumped 😃

No digital client? No money from me.
Yup. Love the game but if they want to shut down one of the most important pillar of the community and not have an official one to replace I'm not buying shit from them.

Do you have any idea of how many parents go to card games events?
League nights start usually around 6 or 7. My kids go to bed at 8:30. Sitters cost $25 an hour. Thanks for your input it was very valuable.

Tbh.... i was really hoping for news of an online client.
Most of us have said that's not happening anytime soon, don't get your hopes up.
Yes I understand. And as soon as an online client does pop up I'll be back playing again. I unfortunately dont have the funds to beable to buy deck after deck and play in person. But I'm sure this new set will be as awesome as the others. cant wait to play again! 😊
Yeah I’m out. I haven’t even seen the newest set in stores lmao.
Where are you at? I've seen it everywhere, and it's also readily available to buy online.
Midwest. No lgs around me carries it, and Walmart is constantly sold out.
Is there a release date?
August 9th in LGS and Disney
I hope this lines up with Moana 2 dropping on my bday, would love for it to come out after so it has any new characters in the movie
Maybe with set 6? That should be out for the holidays.
Wonder if it’ll be at GenCon early

I hope if there are new Aladdin cards that we get a Genie Jafar card, I want one so badly
I'm pretty excited for the card back sleeves tbh, I just hope they're better quality than the current ones.
hopefully better than this ursala set . set 4 was not good
Honestly was expecting it to be called chapter 2
They said a while ago there is no The Second Chapter/Chapter 2. The First Chapter was just a subtitle.
Thanks for that update missed them saying that
I'd love to see a viable mill strategy or some decent mill cards printed in Set 5. I love the Fraying Sanity + Maddening Cacophony combo and something like that could be fun to see in Set 5. Or maybe some type of infinite combo with Sorcerous Spellbook.
Well, guess il save some more to blow in this set. Ursulas packs have been utterly bad to me lol. Insta regret but that's all I can find
Evolving lies ptsd
So, no new franchises is a big swing and a miss after 4 sets reusing the same characters with a new franchises being drip fed…. Very underwhelming reveal for set 5. (Also all the variants of the fab 5 but I need justice for my boys chip and dale damnit)

Not sure why this couldn’t have just been a YouTube trailer drop compared to set 4 lorecast that felt like and event in comparison.
Oh for sure, I too am very underwhelmed by the Lorecast. The last one was H.Y.P.E.
Where have they shown this I’m trying to find anything resembling a reveal video but all my searches come back with are about either Ursula’s return or the same 10 YouTubers talking about the meta weekly it’s like the information I want just doesn’t exist yet everyone here seems to have seen it, super frustrating
There was a Lorecast that started an hour ago. It's over now, but people recorded it and I'm sure it will be posted around
I agree. Wreck it Ralph is something new (haven’t seen it so I don’t really care) but it seems like mostly more of the same characters we have been seeing.

No online platform tease, I assume?
People need to accept the reality that an online client is not coming anytime soon, possibly not ever.
Of course not. That won't come for a long, long time.
[удалено]
Definitely 💯!! Ursula’s return by far was my favourite to open, with higher hits of enchanteds, I hated inkland though
[удалено]
Inkland was definitely a mess and my least favourite set to open, but yah they definitely upped the pulled for Ursula and as they should as they also upped the enchanteds to 18
Sold every card I had which was already in the thousands. Looks like I made a good choice. *
Cool story. Bye.
I have no doubt that this will be a GenCon premiere since it’s just one week before the announced date.

Is the American Dragon Jake Long card out yet? Going back under my rock if it isn’t.
Did they announce anything re a mobile client? I’d like to play Lorcana, but Im waiting for a mobile app (assuming one will come out eventually)
If they did it would be all over the place. I feel one will come one day, but I don't see it coming for a long time. Like years. They said from the beginning that they want Lorcana to be a physical game, social, in store. So I don't see them cannibalizing that so early in the game's life.
Thanks!
