A set (also called an expansion or chapter) in Disney Lorcana is a curated collection of new cards released periodically to expand the game. Each set introduces new glimmers (cards), often from new Disney franchises, along with new gameplay mechanics and a continuation of the ongoing Lorcana story.
Overview
Lorcana follows a regular release schedule of approximately four sets per year, roughly one every three to four months.[1] Each set consists of 204 main cards (except Wilds Unknown which had 242), plus a number of Enchanted variant cards (typically 6 or 12) and sometimes additional promotional cards.
Sets are the primary way the game expands, adding new strategies, characters, and lore.
Set structure
A typical Lorcana set includes:
- 204 base cards – Including common, uncommon, rare, super rare, and legendary cards.
- Enchanted cards – Ultra‑rare alternate art variants, typically 6 per set (12 in The First Chapter).
- Foil versions – Every base card has a foil version.
- New mechanics – Most sets introduce at least one new keyword or gameplay mechanic.
- Story continuation – Each set advances the narrative of the Lorcana realm.
Release format
Sets are released in two waves (except for simultaneous worldwide releases starting with Fabled):
- Local game stores (LGS) – Prerelease events and early sales.
- Mass retail – Approximately two weeks later (pre‑Fabled sets).
Products associated with a set release include:
- Booster packs and booster boxes
- Starter decks (usually two per set)
- Illumineer's Trove
- Gift set (most sets)
- Prerelease box (starting with Wilds Unknown)
