r/Lorcana

I see a lot of complaints about the upcoming collector boosters, serialized cards, and scalpers...

I just played for the first time at a store event, and I had a blast. The gameplay was way better than I expected, and the chance of a non-game was too much lower than with MtG.

And you know what else? You can have a very competitive experience with a low-cost deck! I have played MtG for years and always accepted that I'll never have expensive shock lands and pricey mythics. But when I wheeled up with my penny decks, they actually competed with some of my opponents! It was amazing!

So I guess what I'm saying is: there may be some stuff going wrong, but Lorcana has got a lot of things going right for it. And that's awesome.

Hello!

I first want to say, I've been lurking on this subreddit & community for quite a while and I love how supportive everyone is with their advice and time. With that said, I've come to call upon it myself. My son has shown a big interest in all things Disney much like his mother & I (Annual Passholders etc) and I thought this would be a good "Non-Screen" game to play together.

I want to have a hobby together with my kids so that hanging out and talking through the non talkative years becomes easier. I want to set that foundation now. I have a few questions to ask to help get us on track.

Do I start with the current boxes?

Should I go back and try to collect set 1 first?

Is purchasing a trove the best route?

Where did you get started?

I do not know how to play 100% yet but it seems like local card shops are the best bet, does that still ring true?

What shops/online stores do you find are the most fair value or close to MSRP?

Finally, What digital tracker do you use for your collection? There are so many, I just want to use the most adopted well built one.

Thank you all for your time & answers!

Coming from Switzerland having visited the US for D23, I’d love to meet some Lorcana players for casual gaming before I head back home by the end of this month.

Is there any LGS or Lorcana gaming community that you know of around the South Bay area of San Diego? Or, if not here I can always take an Uber somewhere if it’s not reasonably far.

I brought a deck with me and also have Lorcana stuff from the D23 expo. It’s been fun so far!

Hey! Just curious how many people are thinking of attending?! Curious about those entering the main event, or others who are going more for the collective side and side events? Would love to make a new friend or two and maybe sort out a deal for in person trades at the event, please comment letting me know your thoughts and what you’re looking forward to!

Hi folks! I’m looking to build up my local Lorcana community and I was looking at starting a New York Capital Region Facebook group.

Lorcana NY Capital Region Community-https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HEfgmizuo/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I’m open to other adding their own community’s links here too.

Thoughts? Additions? Am I missing a different spot where Lorcana communities tend to come together online?

I’m open to input

How come the only sets I can find in Australia are 5-8 unless I want to fork out double the money? New to Lorcana so apologies if this is a stupid question and it’s wildly known they were printed in to the ground or just a lot less popular characters in them.
Thank you for entertaining a TCG noob like myself.

I am in San Jose, CA I am looking for players that are non competitive that can help me build my confidence and help me build my deck. DM me. Or where can I find friendly groups.

In the other 2 TCGs i play Pokemon and Onepiece, getting a good deck is pretty easy thanks to decent pre-constructed decks that are easy and generally not that expensive to upgrade into something playable for locals (my locals is somewhat serious but still, i get good results for my budget with these upgraded precons).

In Lorcana what would be a good way to get a decent deck going for not that expensive? pre-constructed + upgrades? if so which ones? or should i just start from scratch?

I just wanted to get my thoughts out there about the Quests Ahead panel they showed. I keep seeing people say they nailed it and are really listening to the community after seeing this presentation.

I'm curious as to exactly why that is. Compared to the prior d23 which had teasers and reveals for IPs and cards on the horizon, this one showed relatively little. It felt very focused on pushing the new collectors booster boxes and new collector sets, and then ended on the digital client announcement which is massive but it's really just kind of a statement is all.

The competitive play announcements seem to indicate a better season than season 2 at least but the new Store Changes to different tiering systems is also somewhat concerning.

I ultimately just wish we had seen more of what was coming on the Horizon than trying to push various exclusive and high-end products for us to purchase. Does anyone feel the same way?

Three years ago today, August 18, 2023, Disney Lorcana first released in game stores. It has now officially been three years since that day. In that time, this game has become a constant part of my everyday life and I’m grateful that I get to keep playing, collecting, and interacting with Lorcana and the community today. Happy anniversary Lorcana. Happy anniversary, y’all. To many more.

I know official competitions and events need to be at game stores but do you any of you set up way more casual meetups and hangouts other places to build your local community?

I guess I’m looking for tips and advice on building my local Lorcana community because it feels like a desert lol

They said that they told all their local regulars to bring their collections to complete the quest. Fortunately we brought ours but others did not. We all just kind of let others pull the cards from our collections to get the promo card.

Which I will say, the LGS just gave everyone that completed the quest and promo and didn’t charge anything. That was really awesome.

During the GameStop/ebgames collection quest the stores that didn’t have packs still made people pay the cost of 3 packs to get the promo card.

I will say though, why is Ravensburger promoting/hosting these events and NOT sending the necessary product to the stores.

I made a bunch of decks on dreamborn.ink none of there over $8 - hit "shop cards" and the cheapest deck was over $115!!! $108 in shipping to like 35 accounts.

WTAF!?!?! What to do to play? It seems like a complete waste of time to make 100s of proxy cards for Commons
