Disney Lorcana Unveils "Fabled" with Reprints and New Rarities, Set Rotation to Arrive with Debut

The first two Iconic rarity cards? Mickey and Minnie, of course.

In a stream this morning, Ravensburger announced some big changes that will arrive in Disney Lorcana with the release of the ninth installment of the game, Fabled.

What’s Happening:

  • This August, the Disney Lorcana TCG will celebrate its second year anniversary.
  • As this milestone arrives, Ravensburger and the team behind Disney Lorcana have announced some impactful changes on the way.
  • The bulk of these changes will come with the arrival of Fabled, which is to be the ninth chapter of the game.
  • Fabled will be released to local game stores on August 29th followed by a wide release on September 5th.

Fabled Reprints

  • First, while the Fabled set will include several new cards, it will also feature a bevy of reprints of cards featured in the first four chapters of the game (The First Chapter, Rise of the Floodborn, Into the Inklands, and Ursula’s Return).
  • According to Disney Lorcana co-designer Ryan Miller, more than half of the cards in Fabled will be reprints.

  • That said, some of these reprints will be Enchanted editions of some fan favorites.
  • It should be noted that, while Fabled will heavily feature reprints, set 10 will return to a “normal" release.

A Goofy Movie:

  • As mentioned, in addition to the reprints, Fabled will also include several new cards.
  • In fact, the set will see the addition of A Goofy Movie to the world of Disney Lorcana.
  • No card art has been revealed yet, but Ravensburger did share the tease seen above.

New Rarities

  • When Fabled debuts, Disney Lorcana will also gain two new rarity classes: Epic and Iconic.
  • Epic cards will be rarer than Legendary cards but more common than Enchanted cards.

  • Meanwhile, Iconic cards will now be the rarest cards (even harder to find than Enchanted).
  • Appropriately, the first two Iconic cards will be Mickey and Minnie, with Ravensburger giving this tease:

  • Currently, these new rarities will be alternate art versions of cards.
  • This means that the new rarities line up will be:
    • Common
    • Uncommon
    • Rare
    • Super rare
    • Legendary
    • Epic
    • Enchanted
    • Iconic

Set Rotation

  • One key reason why Disney Lorcana: Fabled will feature so many reprints is due to a change in the game’s Core Constructed competitive play rules.
  • With the release of Fabled, cards from the first year of the game (four chapters) will be barred from Core Constructed competitive play.
  • However, if a card has been reprinted and appears in an eligible deck, any version of that card will be legal to play.
  • For example, if a player has a copy of a card from The First Chapter that has been reprinted in Fabled, they can still play their original card in competition.

  • This set rotation format will continue going forward, with the Year 2 set (chapters four through eight) being rotated out when the 13th set of the game is released in 2026.
  • Keep in mind that, just because cards may not be eligible for Core Constructed competitive play, Illumineers are still welcome to use these cards when playing with friends or family.
  • Additionally, Disney Lorcana will also introduce a new competitive format called Infinity Constructed.

The Collection Starter Set:

  • Also along with the release of Fabled will be a new Collection Starter Set.
  • This product will include a card portfolio, four Fabled booster packs, and a TInkerbell Giant Fairy glimmer foil promo card.

What They’re Saying:

  • Ryan Miller, Brand Manager and Co-Designer of Disney Lorcana TCG at Ravensburger: “To keep the competitive game thriving, rotating out older cards to encourage new strategies and fresh deck designs is a really important part of the next chapter. But because we know there are cards in those early sets that are important to a lot of fans’ deck-building strategies, and we know not everybody got the cards they wanted the first year, we’re re-printing some cards from those first sets in Fabled. Including Enchanted versions of some fan favorites!"
