It's been a wild ride for Disney Lorcana ever since it hit the market, and 2026 is set to take things to an even higher level. With the release schedule already packed, we're looking at a year full of unique themes, gameplay innovations, and character-driven expansions that will further solidify Lorcana as a TCG powerhouse. From Christmas cheer (even if it's a little late) to Pixar hits and deeper dives into the Disney vault, there's plenty to be excited about.
It's safe to say Disney Lorcana has had an impressive run since its debut, with the game quickly finding a spot in the hearts of both Disney fans and TCG enthusiasts alike, to the point that there are often comparisons to Magic: The Gathering's mechanics. Though not all fans were happy with the sudden rotation introduced by Fabled, as we head into 2026, Ravensburger has no plans to slow down on its schedule of four sets per year. There is a lot to unpack (quite literally) for this year, starting in February.
Magic: the Gathering Has Accidentally Leaked More than 30 TMNT Cards
Magic: the Gathering fans are discovering multiple TMNT cards erroneously inserted into Lorwyn prerelease kits, leaking more than 30 cards.
Winterspell – February 20, 2026
Starting off the year with a bit of wintery magic, Winterspell hits shelves on February 20, and while it's technically releasing well after Christmas, it doesn't make the holiday vibe any less sweet. If you love the charm of the Lorcana cards' snowy aesthetics, this set will be an absolute treat. Whether you're a collector or competitive player, the cards are sure to bring an extra layer of fun to your deck-building strategy.
What's Inside Disney Lorcana's Winterspell Set?
The centerpiece of Winterspell is its festive, snowy variants of some of Disney's most iconic characters. Expect to see Mickey Mouse, Snowboard Ace, who will surely become a fan favorite with his cool new look. Alongside Mickey, Willie the Giant will appear in a frosty form, as well as Jiminy Cricket, adding a whimsical touch to the winter theme. Not only will the set feature cards inspired by Mickey's Christmas Carol, but Darkwing Duck, Fox and the Hound, and Pocahontas will debut for the first time in the game alongside Angel from Lilo & Stitch.
What to Expect From Disney Lorcana's Meta After Winterspell Launches
Amber is well-positioned in the meta with cards like the Legendary Pocahontas, Peacekeeper and Ohana Means Family debuting for decks that either make challenging your characters harder or punish the opponent for doing so. Amethyst is most likely still the best color in the game with Winterspell, or at least up there, as it gets multiple fantastic cards like Marshmallow, Cranky Climber and Tinker Bell, Snowflake Collector. Emerald gets some very good cards, like White Rabbit, Late Again, but it's seemingly not in the best spot overall, at least until more cards are revealed. Several Ruby cards are focused on locations, which typically don't do very well, but some Darkwing Duck cards seem powerful enough to warrant a Ruby/Steel deck with them and the recent Gargoyles cards. Sapphire gets one of the most broken cards in the set with Moana, Curious Explorer, which allows you to Ink cards from your discard, making the ramp even easier. Lastly, Steel is in a decent spot with challenge-heavy and damage-heavy cards in Winterspell.
Scrooge McDuck Gift Box – March 13, 2026
Just a month after the holiday cheer of Winterspell, Lorcana is releasing something for the true collectors. The Scrooge McDuck Gift Box, launching on March 13, is a must-have for any fan of the legendary Disney miser. This isn't tied to any new set but will feature exclusive content that collectors will want to snag before it's gone. The highlight of this gift box is the exclusive Glimmer Foil version of Scrooge McDuck, S.H.U.S.H. Agent.
Wilds Unknown – May 15, 2026
Now here's where things get really exciting. Wilds Unknown, dropping on May 15, marks a significant shift in Lorcana's direction. This set is diving deep into Pixar territory, with Toy Story and The Incredibles characters leading the way. If you've been dying to see Woody and Buzz Lightyear in card form, this is your moment. Not much else has been revealed so far, so the expansion is quite true to its name.
What's Inside Disney Lorcana's Wilds Unknown?
Woody and Buzz Lightyear will be the stars of the set, which makes sense given their iconic status in Disney's history. But Pixar's magic doesn't end with Toy Story. The set will also introduce Mrs. Incredible and Jack-Jack from The Incredibles, and presumably the rest of the family. Beyond the main set, Wilds Unknown will also launch Prelease Kits, which include a promo card, dice, booster packs, and a deck box. But the real standout here will be the 2-Player Starter Set, perfect for new players or those wanting to introduce Lorcana to a friend. It'll include preconstructed decks, tokens, and lore trackers, ensuring that both new and experienced players can get in on the action quickly.
Attack of the Vine – Q3 2026
Coming later in Q3 2026, Attack of the Vine promises to bring the quirky charm of the heroes and villains of Monsters, Inc. And Turning Red to the Lorcana universe. While details are still light, we know that this set will feature characters like Mike Wazowski and Sulley alongside Mei Lee and friends. It's a fun blend of playful and heartfelt Pixar films, and I am already imagining what kind of mechanics will emerge from these iconic films.
Coco – Q4 2026
Finally, as the year wraps up, we'll see the magical world of Coco come to Lorcana. Expect this set to bring Miguel and Hector into the fold, as well as some of the stunning visual elements that made Coco a beloved film. Plus, songs like "Remember Me" could easily make for a powerful song card in the game. Virtually nothing is known about this, but the whole thing could very well play out like the characters and songs from Madrigal in previous Lorcana sets.
