Learn To Play Disney Lorcana w/Co-Designer Ryan Miller

Disney Lorcana is a new trading card game hitting store shelves on August 18. We sat down with Brand Manager and Co-Designer Ryan Miller to learn the ropes and see some brand new cards. TheGamer is celebrating the launch of Lorcana with a week-long program of news, interviews, guides, lists, and more. Check out our Lorcana Week hub for all the latest on Disney Lorcana. www.thegamer.c...

[@donerkebab778]

I just randomly discovered Lorcana at a games store yesterday, bought two boosters, and it is EPIC! I love Disney, and always loved TCGs as a kid. I love the collecting aspect and the gameplay is fun. Thank you so much for creating this. I feel more and more people will start to find out about Lorcana and jump on board. The years to come are going to be so fun!

[@TurtleDude05]

I absolutely love the energy Ryan exudes. You can just tell he is genuinely excited to share this game.

[@oneof13forestpeople97]

[@julianperry4767]

Ryan is such a good host in this video, his energy is contagious! Fantastic presentation of the Lorcana card game here, can't wait to pick up a starter deck and a few packs at my local comic/card shop! Just hoping they print enough, I know scalpers are already trying to hoard these to flip on eBay

[@Jedi_flodux]

This game actually seems really fun. At first I thought it seemed a bit complex but it really is really simple

[@putonghua73]

I am surprised by Lorcana: I too agree that it seems fun (psst! Simpler version of MtG with serial numbers filed off), but it looks simple but may be more complex re: inkwell mechanic. Characters can be used for mana .., sorry, ink, (*coughs*) or used as a character. Seems like there is going to be more decision space than I would imagine. Also appears that Lorcana has been made to support draft. I can't get my head round a Disney product that appeals to people who love Disney and people who are into TCGs. Yet here we are, and I'm becoming more and more interested in Lorcana which I would never have initially thought

[@DoobieLGBT96]

It's very complex😢

[@willweatonyoung3749]

This is literally disney magic the gathering. U have Mana(ink), untap,(ready) upkeep(set), draw. Exsert (tap) to attack. Or activate abilitys imma love this game

[@boxocheesedseals4320]

Feels like this game would be pretty easy to get a commander gamemode going in. We could call it protagonist! Choose one “storyborn” to put to the side of your deck you can play them whenever you want make your deck match their color and singleton. Follow all of the other rules like normal or even just try to get to 40 lore. This is probably how my friend group is gonna play

[@slayedthedragon6567]

if they make this official and supported it will help the game grow for a casual audience

[@xandermcdonald8543]

I’d guess that it’ll be a choice, since floodborn are typically easier to build around than Dreamborn or Storyborn. Either have a Floodborn as commander or Dream/Storyborn with an item/action as commander. There is still the issue of balancing with ink/non-ink cards but it’s a casual format anyways

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

Well, in Lorcana reality decks are dual-color. Maybe there will be near-mono-colored decks or some support in future set to play mono or even add 3+ colors. But rn duo is the way... So... I think good idea would be to, well, choose TWO characters that would create your pair and use their colors for your deck. And I think this would be more interesting in general - this way you would get duo-color deck, characters in general are more simple then in MTG, so using two of them could allow more creativity in combos (especially when right now like half of characters are just a vanilla creatures). And story-wise it still kinda works - in most cartoons we see pair of heroes, main character is almost never a solo-hero. And even if so - you could pair heroes with villains to create some interesting dynamics.

[@slayedthedragon6567]

@@Dreadnote-pf7of this is a better idea I think, the gage will just have to watch to make sure the characters don’t get too complex or combo heavy

Great vid, just found out about this from my daughter after the first couple of days at school, lol. I thought it would be a fun learning experience for her and I enjoy collection. We went looking for cards today and we were both a little disappointed that it's pretty much impossible to get any and the ones that we did find were like 4x the starting price. I don't get why people have to ruin everything fun, especially when it's geared toward kids.

[@coldtruth9431]

Lorcana js cool and is definitely a game that will be here for some time, but these “alpha” release set will never blow up in value and should t be speculated on as many people are already doing. There is no big black lotus type, dual land power level cards that will never be match from later sets. You need that iconic level in the first set.

[@tMAErizzle]

Thanks for this amazing video. If I want to start lorcana today, shall I start with the newest starting decks and displays or which chapter should I pick up to begin with? :)

[@phoenixash8514]

Are ALL cards that are sent to the discard pile considered BANISHED or are they only considered BANISHED if they've been on the feild? I was wondering cuz they are all in the same pile and when GRANDMA was discarded by the effect, if all cards sent to the pile are considered banished then her effect of sending her to the ink well would apply.

is there a limit to how many characters and ink can be put down on the play field??

I usually don't play TCG (I like collecting!) but this looks fun. I might have to get a couple of starter packs and try and convince the wife to play. I also like the use of Dice for counters, don't think I've seen that before but like I said I don't play a lot. Psyched for release day now!

[@jordongee2347]

Lorcana is cool, but it's way too easy to win. In my experience. As someone who played magic during its first few years of release, then never again, we were on a camping trip when Lorcana released, and we bought several decks, back at the campsite we were playing, games were 5-10 minutes on average. Just a bit too short, and too easy seeming to me to care about, pongo for sure was an absolute win in a few minutes if you get him out. We bought every pre-con deck available, and around 30 packs, so we had plenty to choose from. Just a bit eh, maybe i just dont like disney enough.

[@Curexe]

@@zachcarmichael699 I gotta disagree, if youre trying to be competitive then sure I can understand where youre coming from with cost of cards and certain archetypes being very powerful if allowed to pop off their full combo but thats kind of the beauty of the game, its entirely possible to still find the magic of olden days if you have friends and play using older formats or customized formats. In regards to card effects being long it just allows for a higher skill ceiling if you are a player who wants to stay in the loop of knowing every card and every effect, we have come very far from a game friendly for kids on the playground though yes that is for sure, but most of us original players arent 9 or 10 anymore!

[@tweso1499]

I’m sure in future sets and decks there _might_ have more decks geared towards a specific IP (such as a Ruby/Emerald _the Nightmare before Christmas_ deck, or an Amber/Steel Pixar themed deck), the possibilities are endless. Especially when *WE* get to make our decks ourselves whenever we get those cards. And the best part is that since it’s the beginning we can start collecting the First Chapter’s greatest cards and use them competitively, collectively, and/or commercially

[@BrimleyGames]

This is amazing! I am so beyond excited for Lorcana!!

The ink mechanic and how a majority of the cards can be used as resources is so brilliant. I've never played MTG but as an avid Pokemon player, dedicated energy cards are such a dated mechanic!

[@ForeverDayGreen]

It should result in less games being non games due to being mana flooded or missing mana, but similarly take away from deckbuilding and limit design space. While I don't like the Disney IP and won't pick up the game I hope Lorcana will continue to apply pressure to Mtg to be better for a long time.

[@richarddavis8863]

Can we please get some package film/wartime era cards? I really love Melody Time and The Three Caballeros! The Headless Horseman would be an awesome card, Acongonqua from the Pedro the plane cartoon is super menacing too. Oh and the giant from Fun and Fancy Free

[@winterstorm782]

It’s unfortunate how expensive The First Chapter has already become. I just recently started getting into Lorcana and would have loved to start with the first set. Lorcana is still an amazing game though from what I’ve seen and I much enjoyed getting an insight on how the game is played.

[@Badassest]

When this new TCG was announced I wasn't immediately interested beyond picking up a few of my favorite character cards. After watching this playthrough I have a lot more interest. I have been playing Magic the Gathering for roughly 30 years and it hasn't lost love but it has lost something with the interactive pleasantry it once had. My LGS is carrying Lorcana and I don't know anyone who is interested locally. But I do also enjoy deck construction and collecting. I too will have to look for other players which is a bit daunting considering the newness of the game. I would like to see more instore promotion of this and incentives to play. My chief concern with TCG's is overcompetitive gameplay via powercreep and card accessibility in regard to deck construction. For example let's say player (A) can spend a countless amount of cash on highly predictable mathmatically perfect synergies it really ruins interaction by pushing for greater game speed. This is an issue I have with MtG as it has vastly reduced time to enjoy seeing cards I worked quite diligently to collect and play with. One good thing I notice with lorcana is that cards are converted to ink and that the way to victory is my accumulation of lore rather than player to player attacks. I do see an agressive build line with ruby and steel that could potentially be oppressive if it continuously eliminates an opponent's characters. I'm curious if this game still functions well in a singleton format. And if I should consider a specific collection strategy for that possibility. Game longevity is important to me and I would like to believe that there is an infinite amount of ink waiting to play out. But I am also fearful that there will be a moment where the majority of cards will become bulk and the only cards with playable worth will be extremely rare and overcoated. We are 3 sets in and this comment is replying on a post marked seven months old at the time. So In the sake of interest I will take nibbles from each set and buy a starter deck. At 1 year in I'll look at game progression, complexity and power level as well as see what portion of cards collected have become bulkified versus rarity and playability in meta survival. If 70% of cards go to bulk that is bad. In MtG it's in the 85-90% range. Most of that is due to a decrease in creativity, revival effort towards older cards and an increasingly aggressive gamestate. Complexity isn't really an issue with experience in my opinion. Also cost and accessibility. It's wierd I know but- I am one of those player/collecter/builders that could dump loads of cash into something I love but I really don't want to see a drop in the interest for older cards that brought me into that which I came to love. In that regard I would like to see creative callbacks to older cards so they are not just piling up in dusty storage boxes. This begs the question on whether I should mainly invest in preconstructed decks rather than booster products. To be honest I like there to be a base product that undeniably has all pieces and a premium product that does not have outlier pieces. Premium being foil treatments mainly but nothing that can't be found in the base set. In all respect it's preferred that premium cards can be found in base product regardless of premium product although premium product would have a higher density of treatments. One thing that really kills me with MtG is mechanically unique pieces only found in premium products. That being said- MtG does have a larger and fairly accessible singles market. Can Disney create an honest and accessible singles market and source that also does not interfere with accessibility via LGS? One thing that concerns me is cards becoming so rare and hoardable that pricing is ridiculously askew or abusable. This is something MtG simply will not address. Plus we are in an age where there are very good methods for protecting cards. Such as sleeves and deck boxes and better storage media. Every few years sets should be revisited with higher levels of premium treatment but not pushed out of relevance. Another concern is card creation that not only causes irrelevance but pushes for stricter deck construction and necessity to follow heavy competitive meta standards. Which is mean as heck tbh. Because it feels like MtG has ceased with lorebuilding and is forcing everything including casual play to become purely competitive. This is killing lore relevance and the desire for character revisits. Things shouldn't age in the worlds of make believe. And if they do it shouldn't be beyond a sets theme. I understand continuity but at the same time there are some things we have the power to make eternal. I certainly would love to know that someone 100 years from now could also fall in love with the art and characters we know now. And cards are a perfect way to curate these memories forever.I mean why not when we can protect such things so well? This also shouldn't be a thing that becomes artificially overpriced in that same regard. Each set should be bound to one another in some way to reinforce the relevance. Who says Star Wars can't be rienvisioned as a wild west movie? Look at the adaptation for the urban version of romeo and juliet. Impossibility is merely the act of doing nothing. Of course be careful with the interface between what is real and what is make believe. I really hope the creative minds behind Lorcana read this. Even if it's ignored. Let's see if Lorcana can build a castle worthy of 30 years or more. Heck- the pyramids are what? 8,000+ years old and still standing. It's certainly fun to imagine the possibility of the Disney Princesses being placed on a table in a galaxy far far away 8,000 years from now. We as a species shouldn't devolve to the line of thinking that there is nothing of worth beyond our lifetime.

I think those are scalper prices from the pre release. Best Buy has them listed as goes $17 for starter decks, Booster Box $145, a gift set which has 4 packs for $30. So I would assume 5-7 $ booster packs. Relatively cheap and competitive comparative to some other games!

​​@@heyim-jayAbsolutely! I'm in the UK and Smyth's Toy Store (retail) are selling First Chapter Starter Decks at £17.99. It would be madness to sell at scalper inflated prices. Disney & regular (non-MtG price gouging) pricing will make oodles and oodles of money, and will make it an easy decision for parents, grandparents etc who know nothing about TCGs, to buy a starter deck for their kids / grand-kids at Christmas

@@heyim-jay They are not scalper prices unfortunately, Big Box stores have a set price straight from Ravensburger, where as LGS have a higher purchase price from Distributors, so this causes prices to be highly elevated, in order for LGS (Which are the core of successful Card Games) to price product at higher levels in order for them to make any money at all. The core problem, is that it is a massive IP and Ravensburger did not make enough product for the first wave of the game. I do not see prices dropping anytime soon unfortunately

[@swizzywaffles2478]

Yup those aren't the normal prices. Here in Germany a booster is 6.99 €

Is discard and banish different to eachother like in yugioh? Asking about the moana gramma card

[@phoenixash8514]

😂 Yugioh players think so critically. I asked the same thing cause grandma's effect would apply if all cards are banished when hitting the discard pile.

I just bought 3 starter decks, a bundle box, and 12 packs yesterday...as a magic the gathering player, I want to see the hype behind this game and I can tell you without playing it that I can't wait to play Lorcana. Some similar moves and rules as magic so this will be easy for me to learn. I'm excited to play. Thanks for the great tutorial

thats a dedicated card game player right here ^ deep dive or die

This was great! Awesome job team!

[@jeremybrewer7307]

@18:04 Gramma Tala says when banished it becomes ink. Is going to the discard pile not considered being banished?

[@vanesslifeygo]

This doesn't evoke a sense of magic that I hoped it would. Not a fun game compared to any established tcgs that lots of time to learn what to do.

[@VideoGamePhilosopher]

This rollout is so frustrating! Just pick a day and release the whole thing then.

[@Machape23]

It says "Characters with Evasive can only be challenged by other characters who have Evasive on their card". Can a character with Evasive challenge a character without Evasive or Evasive characters can ONLY challenge each others?

4:00 If I really get into this game, it will be because of Treasure Planet and Atlantis 😁
