Disney Lorcana
Disney Lorcana Iconic rarity is the game's top collector tier, sitting above Enchanted. It isn't new to Set 13: Ravensburger introduced it alongside Epic rarity back in Set 9: Fabled. If you want to know what it means, how rare it is, and whether you should chase it or just buy singles, this guide covers everything confirmed before Attack of the Vine's launch day.
TL;DR: Iconic rarity sits above Enchanted and was introduced alongside Epic rarity in Set 9: Fabled, not new to Attack of the Vine. Ravensburger has not published pull rates. Community estimates put Iconic at rarer than Enchanted's roughly one per display box. Iconic cards are functionally identical to standard versions, and the premium is purely for collectors. Buy singles after launch week pricing settles rather than hunting in packs.
Iconic is Disney Lorcana's rarest rarity tier, introduced alongside Epic back in Set 9: Fabled, not new to Attack of the Vine (Set 13). It sits above Enchanted in the rarity hierarchy, meaning Iconic cards are harder to pull from packs than any other rarity tier in Disney Lorcana. Ravensburger has not published official pull rates, but based on Enchanted card data from previous sets, Iconic cards will be the hardest individual cards to find in sealed product.
Like Enchanted cards before them, Iconic cards do not gain any gameplay advantage over standard versions. An Iconic Sully from Monsters Inc is the same card as the standard Sully in terms of stats, abilities, and deck legality. The difference is entirely visual treatment and collector rarity.
Rapunzel - Sunshine is one of the key characters in this Lorcana format.
Before Set 13, the Disney Lorcana rarity ladder from most common to rarest looked like this:
Common (C) > Uncommon (UC) > Rare (R) > Super Rare (SR) > Legendary (L) > Enchanted (E)
Since Set 9: Fabled, one tier has sat above Enchanted:
Common (C) > Uncommon (UC) > Rare (R) > Super Rare (SR) > Legendary (L) > Enchanted (E) > Iconic (I)
Enchanted cards in sets like Wilds Unknown (Set 12) average approximately one per display box of 24 packs. Community expectations place Iconic below that frequency. The exact ratio will emerge from opening data on launch day.
The Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown most valuable cards guide shows how Enchanted cards have settled in value over time, which gives useful context for predicting the Iconic rarity value curve in Set 13.
Enchanted cards have been the premium collector tier since Set 1, and their secondary market prices have generally settled in a wide range: competitive Enchanted cards hold value while non-competitive ones drop close to standard prices. After 12 sets, the Enchanted ceiling is established and well-known.
Iconic functions as the premium above that ceiling, and Attack of the Vine is its fifth set of use since Ravensburger introduced it alongside Epic rarity in Set 9: Fabled. Each new set's Iconic pair still delivers:
Ravensburger has continued using Iconic in every set since Set 9, so it's reasonable to expect it in future sets too, though that has not been explicitly confirmed for anything past Attack of the Vine.

Ravensburger has not published official pull rates for Iconic cards. Here is what is known and not known as of the July 24 release:
Confirmed:
Unconfirmed (community estimates):
The clearest picture will emerge on July 24 when the community starts opening product and reporting pulls. Box opening videos on YouTube and posts on r/DisneyLorcana will aggregate data within 48-72 hours.
For most players: no.
Here is the math framework. If Iconic cards appear at one per three display boxes:
If the Iconic card you wanted costs $80 on TCGPlayer by week 2: you overpaid by $340+ for the sealed product gamble.
If you are a collector who opens sealed for the experience, this math might still feel worth it. But if the goal is to own specific Iconic cards, buying singles is the rational choice.
The exception: if you are opening multiple displays for sealed format events (prerelease, draft) and the Iconic is a bonus rather than the reason you bought sealed.
1. Hold off during week 1 (launch day through July 30). Prices are speculative during this window. Iconic cards will list high because supply has not reached the market fully and demand from collectors is front-loaded. Do not buy unless you need the card for a tournament.
2. Start buying in week 2 (July 28 to August 4). Opening data from thousands of boxes has entered the market by this point, pull rate estimates become reliable, and prices for non-competitive Iconics begin falling. This is the earliest reasonable window to buy.
3. Expect continued settling through weeks 3 and 4. Prices for non-competitive Iconics keep dropping in this window, while competitive Iconic cards, if any Set 13 Iconics see top-tier competitive play, hold their value.
4. Compare against the Wilds Unknown precedent before committing. That set's Enchanted cards saw an initial spike followed by a 20-40% drop within the first three weeks for non-staple cards, so expect Set 13 Iconics to follow a similar curve.

What is the Iconic rarity in Disney Lorcana? Iconic is Disney Lorcana's rarest card tier, sitting above Enchanted in the rarity hierarchy. It was introduced alongside Epic rarity in Set 9: Fabled, so it isn't new to Attack of the Vine. Iconic cards feature special art treatments and are rarer than Enchanted cards.
How rare are Iconic cards in Attack of the Vine? Ravensburger has not published official pull rates. Based on Enchanted card precedent (roughly one per display box), the community estimates Iconic cards appear less frequently than Enchanted. Early opening data from prerelease events will clarify, but expect roughly one Iconic per 2-4 display boxes at minimum.
Are Iconic rarity cards better than Enchanted cards in gameplay? No. Iconic rarity indicates collector value and print rarity, not card power. Iconic versions are functionally identical to the standard versions of the same characters.
What is the difference between Iconic and Enchanted in Lorcana? Enchanted cards feature Art Nouveau-inspired designs and are the second-rarest pull tier. Iconic cards, introduced alongside Epic rarity in Set 9: Fabled, sit above Enchanted in rarity. Both are premium art variants with no gameplay difference. Iconic is simply rarer.
Should I buy Iconic cards or crack packs to find them? Buy singles. At the expected pull rate, hunting Iconic cards in sealed product will cost several hundred dollars in packs for each Iconic you find. Buying the singles directly from TCGPlayer after launch week pricing settles is significantly cheaper.
How do I identify an Iconic card in a pack? Iconic cards have a distinct foil treatment different from Enchanted cards. Look for cards with art that breaks from the standard card frame more dramatically than Enchanted, and check the lower-left rarity indicator.
Will Iconic cards be in future sets? Almost certainly. Iconic has appeared in every set since Ravensburger introduced it alongside Epic rarity in Set 9: Fabled, and it continues through Set 13, so it isn't a one-off addition.
