Share
Disney Lorcana's ninth expansion, , Dsiney Lorcana Fabled is scheduled for release on August 29, 2025, at local game stores and select Disney Parks, with a wider release on September 5, 2025. This set introduces new mechanics, rarities, and card reprints, which may influence both the collector and competitive markets.
Key Features of Disney Lorcana Fabled
1. New Rarities: Epic and Iconic
Disney Lorcana introduces two new rarity categories:
- Epic: These cards are less common than Legendary but more common than Enchanted. They feature full art with rainbow foil, and 18 Epic cards are included in the set. Epic cards are likely to affect deck-building strategies due to their relative accessibility compared with Iconic cards.
- Iconic: The rarest cards in the set, with only two included. Iconic cards feature borderless alternate artwork, a “lore star” foil pattern, and 3D hot stamp effects. Their scarcity makes them primarily of interest to collectors rather than casual players.


2. Reprints and Set Rotation
This expansion is the first to implement a set rotation in Lorcana's competitive format. It contains 171 reprints and 33 new cards. Reprints ensure that popular mechanics and characters remain usable in competitive play, while new cards introduce incremental changes rather than a complete redesign of the game.
3. Product Options
The set offers multiple products:
- Booster Boxes: Includes a promo card ("Alice Accidentally Adrift").
- Illumineer's Trove: Collector-focused package with exclusive items.
- Starter Decks: Pre-constructed decks designed to introduce new players to the game.
These options are standard for Lorcana expansions, with no significant deviations from prior sets.
Conclusion
The expansion appears to be moderately incremental. Its mix of reprints and a limited number of new cards emphasizes maintaining the existing game ecosystem while offering some collector appeal through new rarities. Players should not expect drastic shifts in competitive strategy but can anticipate incremental diversity in deck options and collection opportunities.
