Sneak Peek at New Starter Decks for Rise of the Floodborn

It’s no secret that we are enamored with the hit Strategy Card Game Disney Lorcana. We have been playing this game nonstop since its launch in August, and we got a chance to preview the two single-player starter decks from the upcoming Rise of the Floodborn Expansion set. The first expansion will launch at local games stores on November 17th, and in larger retail locations on December 1st.

Bringing together Disney’s century of storytelling experience and Ravensburger’s 140 years of
games excellence, Disney Lorcana is the world’s most welcoming trading card game (TCG) and the ultimate Disney collectible.

Here, two or more players become “Illumineers” and wield magical inks to summon a team of
Disney characters known as glimmers, who appear in both familiar and fantastical ways. Players
explore the realm of Lorcana alongside their teams of glimmers as they race to be the first to
collect 20 “lore.”

In each game, players will play characters, actions, and items from their hands
and choose whether to have their characters “quest” for lore or challenge opponents to slow them down. So let’s discuss how these new starter decks set players up for entrance into this game.

Tactical Teamwork (Amber / Sapphire) We play tested this deck in several games and we love the synergy between our Amber Seven Dwarves Cards. All of the Dwarves can be inked, and the most expensive of the dwarves is Happy with a cost of 5. We are in love with “The Queen” who can help support other cards during a challenge. This deck looks competitive straight away, and with Sapphire helping control the action, Tactical Teamwork seems a ferocious deck for both casual play and competitive games. Judy Hops can help keep opponents items at bay and the Gumbo Pot will give your Dwarves a little help in the healing department. Check out the full card list below:

  • 2x Bashful – Hopeless Romantic
  • 1x Christopher Robin – Adventurer
  • 2x Doc – Leader of the Seven Dwarfs

Might and Magic. Amethyst glimmers like Merlin and Madam Mim take center stage and will have your opponents off balance the entire game. Steel cards continue to menace in this Starter Deck with powerhouse cards like Kronk: Junior Chipmunk packing some punch with 4 Strength and 5 Willpower. However, he can resist 1 damage done, so he’s going to be hard to banish in a challenge outright. Same goes for Tiana: Celebrating Princess who resists for 2 with a Willpower of 4. Nobody knows how the Meta Game will change with the addition of incredible cards in Floodborn, but both of these decks can handle themselves without any tweaks.

Amethyst

  • 3x Chip the Teacup – Gentle Soul
  • 2x Dr. Facilier – Savvy Opportunist
  • 3x HeiHei – Persistent Presence
  • 3x Kuzco – Wanted Llama
  • 1x Madam Mim – Fox
  • 3x Madam Mim – Snake
  • 2x Merlin – Crab
  • 3x Merlin – Goat
  • 1x Merlin – Rabbit
  • 1x Merlin -Shapeshifter
  • 2x Merlin – Squirrel
  • 2x Freeze*
  • 2x I’m Stuck

Ravensburger delivers continued excellence with the Starter Decks. We owned all three Starter Decks from The First Chapter and found them to be both competitive and fun to play. We entered two local tournaments and won the first and placed second in another. So you don’t have to spend a fortune to make a splash at your local game shop. MSRP on both Starter Decks is US $16.99 / CAN $21.99.

Each deck includes everything you need to start playing against another player. Each Player must have their own deck, so purchase both of them if you want to have a player versus-player game in your own household. Both decks contain 60 cards, damage counters, a paper playmat, player tracker tokens, a rule set, and one boost pack of randomized cards.

Booster packs will also be available at your local games store to help you customize either one of these decks to suit your play style and strategy. Booster Packs retail for MSRP US $5.99 / CAN $7.99 and contain 12 randomized cards.

(1) Foil card of random rarity

(2) Rare (or higher rarity) cards

(3) Uncommon cards

(6) Common cards

We own all three original Starter Decks from The First Chapter, and we love both Might and Magic and Tactical Teamwork. My daughter and I trade various decks and play every single night. Tabletop gaming and card gaming have become our favorite family pastimes. The best part about Disney Lorcana is that the game is scalable to add additional players, so the entire family can get in on the action; so we recommend purchasing all five available starter decks if possible.

We can’t wait to run to our local games store on Friday to pick up more booster packs and we are on the lookout for additional items like the Illumineer’s Trove, playmats, deck boxes, and card sleeves inspired by the artwork of Rise of the Floodborn.
