Last summer when work was at a standstill for my group, I brought in my extra Pokemon cards and taught some fellow nerdy co-workers how to play the tcg. This year I figured we could try a new game and the simplest and appealing on the list of tcgs was Lorcana (Disney’s tcg). I was able to get a bunch of starter decks for cheap at Indy ComicCon then got the rest so my co-workers had options. It went pretty well, we didn’t get to play that much but everyone picked it up quickly.
However while learning about the game and its lore I got to thinking about what other Disney series’ they could add to it. They’ve started adding in Pixar movies but I’m just wondering if they’re gonna Kingdom Hearts this game. By that I mean, focus on the movies instead of the DTVA shows. Sure they do have some characters from shows but those r more of the Disney Afternoon shows from the late 80s-90s (DuckTales, Talespin, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Gargoyles) and as such I wonder what they’d do with more modern shows considering their system of “Storyborn” (canon), “Dreamborn” (AUs) and “Floodborn” (slightly different AUs).
Obviously I doubt they’d focus an entire set on a single show (even tho’ a Gravity Falls set would go wild, imagine how cool the full art Bill Cipher card would look like) but if they were to add in a few more here and there I’m sure that fans of those shows would flock to buy products of their fav shows/characters that don’t get much or any official merch. Hell, there’s some shows I’m surprised aren’t in the game, like Phineas & Ferb (they could have so many Song cards from just one season alone).
(However based on its color system of “2 Ink Types per Deck only”, that means that u couldn’t have the Calamity Trio in a single deck unless u used alternate versions of them…granted I don’t think Anne would fit the Sapphire archetype, Marcy would fit it better than Emerald…tho’ Sasha would def fit Ruby…but also Steel…idk.)
I’m not planning on playing this game seriously but I’ll keep a lookout for what else they add in the hopes it’s cool and characters I like.
Just look at some of these full art cards and imagine what they could do for shows like Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House, Wander Over Yonder, Randy Cunningham: 9GN, StuGo, Phineas & Ferb, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Star vs the Forces of Evil, Kim Possible, American Dragon: Jake Long, etc etc
