Disney Lorcana’s Newest Super Rare Card Gives Your Aliens a Big Boost

Lorcana’s Fabled set mixes plenty of familiar favorites with fresh new cards that bring serious potential to the table.

I’m lucky here at CNET to get an early look at some of the new Disney Lorcana cards — and sometimes, I get to share them with you. Disney Lorcana is one of the best card games available right now and one of my favorites to play with a group of friends when you’re feeling a little tired of gaming. Every quarter, a new set is released, and with the last set, Reign of Jafar, in the rearview, we’re looking forward to the newest set, Fabled.

Fabled, or set nine, includes a lot of reprinted cards from the first four sets — The First Chapter, Rise of the Floodborn, Into the Inklands and Ursula’s Return — because they’re officially out of rotation. By reprinting 171 cards, players can hold onto some of their favorite cards from those sets for competitions.

It’s not all reprints, though. Fabled has 33 cards that we’ve never seen before, including six Super Rare cards, one of which I’m showing you exclusively today. Lilo, Best Explorer Ever, is a steel-colored, Storyborn hero card with artwork that harkens back to the Lilo and Stitch: The Series show from the early 2000s. The card is relatively cheap, with a three-ink cost, but has two decent abilities that could work well with an aggressive ruby/steel deck.

Come on, people, let’s move: Getting Challenger +2 on all of your characters when Lilo is played is great, but you’ll want to pull her later on in the turn order to make sure you have enough characters on the board to make it worthwhile. Especially helpful if your opponent has sent all their characters out in one go.
Go get ’em: This is an ongoing ability that will give any alien character Challenger +2 and the ability to challenge ready characters on the same turn. Pair this with a good Stitch card such as Alien Troublemaker and you could gain some extra lore and draw cards as well.

Fabled is due to be released at your local game store on August 29, with a full release in big-box stores on September 5. As always, the new set comes with all-new play mats, new sleeves and boxes as well as starter decks and a collector’s trove. I like to get the two starter sets and the trove in the first round of buying. The trove is big enough to hold just about all of the cards you’re likely to buy in each new set, and is a handy way of keeping them separate.
