Disney Lorcana

Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine is the game's thirteenth set. Prerelease events took place July 17, 2026, followed by wide retail release on July 24. Three Pixar franchises join Lorcana for the first time, while returning Disney characters and the Vine storyline fill out the set. The numbered collection runs to 207 cards, with Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic treatments beyond the base numbering. New classifications and mechanics including Hunny, Team, Temporary Shift, and Vineling cards change how decks are built.

TL;DR: Attack of the Vine (Set 13) held its prerelease on July 17, 2026, and released widely on July 24. The numbered base set runs to 207 cards, and official sources confirm Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic treatments. Monsters, Inc. cards span Amber and Ruby, Up cards span several inks, and Turning Red is Ruby. Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage lets other Hunny characters bypass the two-ink limit. Booster packs contain 12 cards at a $5.99 US MSRP reference. The two Iconic headline cards are Lilo & Stitch, Fun-Loving Friends and Belle & Beast, Certain as the Sun.

Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine: what is Set 13? (quick answer)

Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine is Set 13 of the Disney Lorcana trading card game, published by Ravensburger. It introduces characters from Monsters, Inc., Up, and Turning Red for the first time, brings returning Disney characters into the Vine storyline, and includes Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic rarities above the numbered base cards. The set became legal in Core Constructed on July 17, 2026, prerelease day, when Core moved to Fabled and onward. Infinity also includes the set, subject to its banned list. Wide retail release followed on July 24, 2026.

What Is Attack of the Vine

Each Lorcana set adds new fictional worlds and mechanics alongside recurring Disney characters. Attack of the Vine brings Pixar's Monsters, Inc., Up, and Turning Red into the game for the first time. Alongside those debuts, returning Disney characters and the Vine storyline give the set a broader theme than a simple franchise release.

The Vine is a corrupting force that now has a mechanical presence: the set introduces Vineling cards and versions of familiar characters marked "Created by the Vine." The numbered collection runs to 207 cards, while special Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic treatments use collector numbers beyond that base range. The new franchises do not each stay in one ink color, so card-level ink assignments matter more than a single franchise label.

Attack of the Vine includes Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic cards above the ordinary numbered card pool. The official card gallery lists Lilo & Stitch, Fun-Loving Friends and Belle & Beast, Certain as the Sun as Iconic cards, while other set cards appear as Epic and Enchanted variants. That makes the Iconics the set's top rarity, and secondary-market prices for all chase cards can move as supply and demand change.

Set 13 does include Enchanted cards. The official product page describes the treatment as dynamic art inspired by pulp movie posters from the 1950s to the 1970s, and the card gallery lists multiple Attack of the Vine Enchanted versions. Collectors chasing that treatment can therefore find it in this set, alongside the rarer Iconic variants.

New Characters and Ink Assignments

The three new Pixar franchises use several ink combinations rather than one fixed color each. Here is a card-level breakdown based on the released set:

Amber and Ruby: Monsters, Inc. The Monsters, Inc. cards include Amber entries such as Mike Wazowski - Heroic Climber and a dual-ink Amber/Ruby Sulley & Boo - Scare Buddies. That dual-ink Team card uses Combo Shift and illustrates why the set's new classifications matter more than assigning the entire franchise to one color.

Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire: Up Up is spread across the ink wheel. Carl Fredricksen - On the Move is Ruby, Carl Fredricksen & Russell - Intrepid Explorers is Emerald/Ruby, Dug - Good Boy is Sapphire, and Kevin - Flightless Bird is Emerald. Read the ink symbols on the exact version you own before building around the franchise.

Ruby: Turning Red Turning Red's red panda transformation gets two separate Temporary Shift cards in Ruby, one for each generation: Meilin Lee, Popular Red Panda (6 ink base, 3 ink with Temporary Shift, 4 Strength/5 Willpower, sings for bonus lore with her Karaoke Queen ability) and her mother Ming Lee, Giant Red Panda (9 ink base, 7 ink with Temporary Shift, 10/10 stats, readies after challenging). They're distinct cards, not two versions of the same character, and both show off the set's flagship new keyword. Ruby backs aggressive strategies and character-heavy boards, which fits the panda transformations well.

Returning classics: Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid, and the Mickey Mouse Gang Attack of the Vine isn't only about new IPs. Winnie the Pooh gets the biggest mechanical spotlight of the returning characters through Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage, a 6-cost, 4/4/2 Amethyst/Sapphire Legendary. His Gather the Party ability lets other Hunny characters join your deck regardless of ink color, breaking Lorcana's two-ink deck-building rule for that classification. Magical Summons searches for a Hunny card when he enters play. The Little Mermaid and Mickey Mouse Gang also return with redesigned cards.

Amber and Steel continue with classic Disney princess characters and villain or action-heavy cards.

New Mechanics: Hunny, Temporary Shift, and Vineling Tokens

Attack of the Vine released with new mechanics and classifications that change deckbuilding and board state, not just the card pool.

Hunny breaks the two-ink rule for other Hunny characters. Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage carries Gather the Party: other Hunny characters can go in your deck regardless of their ink type. Christopher Robin himself remains an Amethyst/Sapphire card, and the exception applies only to the Hunny classification. Magical Summons lets you search for a Hunny card when he enters play.

Temporary Shift is a bounce-back version of Shift. A character with Temporary Shift can shift onto a same-named card in play for a reduced cost, then returns only the shifted card to your hand at the end of the turn with damage removed. Meilin Lee, Popular Red Panda uses Temporary Shift 3, while Ming Lee, Giant Red Panda uses Temporary Shift 7 and has 10/10 Strength and Willpower. The separate Temporary Red Panda Shift variant can use a Red Panda character as its base.

Team is a new classification that unlocks new Shift variants. Team cards represent two characters at once, and a character sharing a name with one of the Team members can act as a Shift base. Duo Shift requires both named characters, while Combo Shift can use one or both. The release notes introduce four named variants: Duo Shift, Combo Shift, Temporary Shift, and Potato Shift. Temporary Red Panda Shift is a specialized version described alongside Temporary Shift.

Vineling cards come from the set's antagonist. The Vine creates leafy copies of glimmers as Vinelings, and those cards can reward fellow Floodborn characters. Familiar characters including Ursula, Pete, Gaston, and Scar appear in "Created by the Vine" versions, but check each card's exact classification and effect rather than treating every Vineling as a token.

Products and What to Buy

Attack of the Vine's official product page highlights booster packs and displays, an Illumineer's Trove, and Prerelease Boxes. A later Rapunzel Collection Starter Set also bundles four Attack of the Vine boosters with a portfolio, collector's guide, and promo card. Here's what each option is actually for:

Booster packs contain 12 randomized cards. The US MSRP reference is $5.99 per pack, but current retailer and secondary-market prices can differ. Packs are the smallest entry point if you want to build a collection or look for Super Rare, Legendary, Enchanted, and Iconic cards.

A booster display contains 24 packs, or 288 cards, and the pack MSRP reference works out to about $143.76 before tax. Actual retailer and secondary-market pricing varies. A display gives more chances at the set's chase rarities, but it does not guarantee a particular Enchanted or Iconic card.

The Attack of the Vine product page does not list a traditional set-specific starter deck. New players who need a ready-to-play deck should use a separate current starter product, then add Attack of the Vine singles or boosters as upgrades; a collection starter set is aimed at collecting and is not a substitute for a complete deck.

Prerelease Boxes for the July 17 events contained six booster packs, four damage dice, an exclusive poster, and one random promo card. In the sealed format, players opened the six packs and built a 40-card deck from them, using all six inks and a 15-lore victory target. That was the early play window before the July 24 wide release, and promo value still depends on condition and demand.

What to buy based on your goal:

  • New player: a ready-to-play starter product from another release, then 1-2 Attack of the Vine booster packs to learn the new cards
  • Casual collector: one booster display for a realistic shot at multiple Super Rares
  • Competitive player: check current decklists and format legality, then buy the singles that fit your deck
  • Chase card collector: target a specific Super Rare, Legendary, Enchanted, or Iconic single, or buy displays only if you enjoy the opening experience

The official product listing is on the Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine product page, with current singles and sealed listings available through TCGPlayer's Disney Lorcana section. For retailer comparisons, see the Attack of the Vine release date and where to buy guide.

Chase Cards and Rarities

The numbered Attack of the Vine collection runs from Common through Legendary, with Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic treatments appearing above the ordinary card pool. The official gallery shows numbered cards through 207/207, while special treatments use collector numbers above 207. Do not confuse the base numbering with the total number of collectible versions.

Super Rare remains an important part of the base chase pool, including Sulley & Boo, Scare Buddies (Amber/Ruby). The two headline Iconic cards are Lilo & Stitch, Fun-Loving Friends (Amber/Steel) and Belle & Beast, Certain as the Sun (Ruby/Sapphire). Both are dual-ink Team characters, but their Iconic versions are not Super Rare cards.

The Legendary lineup still matters for play and collecting. Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage (Amethyst/Sapphire) is a Legendary, and Meilin Lee, Popular Red Panda (Ruby) is the Turning Red Legendary. Winnie the Pooh & Piglet, Hunny Mages (Amethyst/Sapphire) is a Super Rare. Above those base rarities, the Enchanted and Iconic versions have their own collector demand, so use live listings rather than a fixed price ranking.

Legendary cards can matter for competitive play as well as collecting. A Legendary that sees real play in Core or Infinity format may drive demand on its own merits, but tournament results and prices change. Check current decklists and event data before buying playsets.

Format Impact

Lorcana runs two active formats right now, and they feel different enough that which one you play should influence what you buy.

Core Format (Fabled onward) Core format rotated on July 17, 2026, prerelease day, not the July 24 wide release. Sets 5-8, the Year-Two block (Shimmering Skies, Azurite Sea, Archazia's Island, and Reign of Jafar), left Core Constructed that day. From Attack of the Vine onward, the ordinary Core pool is Fabled, Whispers in the Well, Winterspell, Wilds Unknown, and Attack of the Vine, with reprint exceptions. See the site's rotation guide for the full breakdown.

Practically: Amber and Ruby decks gain Monsters, Inc. pieces, Up contributes cards across Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire, and Ruby gets Meilin Lee and Ming Lee. Use current decklists and event results to judge which of those cards have found a competitive home instead of relying on prerelease speculation.

Infinity Format (almost all sets) Infinity format includes almost every Lorcana card ever printed, subject to its official banned list. The pool is large enough that Set 13 adds breadth without guaranteeing a major metagame shift. The format rewards finding old cards with niche applications, and the new Pixar characters may fit into synergy engines that were not viable before.

For a full breakdown of how the two formats differ in card pool, rotation risk, and deck investment, see the Core vs Infinity format guide (linked below in Related Reading).

The previous set, Wilds Unknown (Set 12), is a useful comparison point for the size of the card pool and the rotation timeline. If you are curious how Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown compared as a set, that guide covers its card impact in detail.
