Will Disney Lorcana: Rise Of The Floodborn TCG Live Up To The Hype Of The 1st Lorcana Chapter?

Image from Disney Lorcana Official website

Disney’s bold move to break into the trading card game market has been a tremendous success.

When Disney announced the inaugural release, TCG players skeptically debated its prospect. While Disney is a Mega-brand, the big three have long dominated the trading card market – Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon.

At best, players expected Disney Lorcana to carve out a niche following.

However, the Disney Lorcana release has surpassed all expectations. With thousands of fans queuing for hours to lay their hands on a box to Ravensburger announcing that more units are coming on social media and plans to reprint the release in 2024 to meet demand.

This set dips into the inky origins of Floodborn glimmers. The six magical inks… Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Steel, were released in a mixed-up chaotic form, resulting in a mysterious flood which damaged the Great Illuminary. When storyborn or dreamborn glimmers encounter this mixed ink, they surge with a power that changes them, transforming them into floodborn glimmers. As the magical ink poured out of the illuminary, treasured lore went with it, including King Triton’s powerful trident.

You can read more about the lore and background of the Rise of the Floodborn cards by visiting Disney Lorcana’s official website.

Disney Lorcana Chapter 2 release date + details

Named Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn, the chapter will feature over 200 new cards with fantastic new artwork to complement cards from the first chapter.

According to Ravensburger Global Head of Games Filip Francke, the fans were eager for more Lorcana cards.

The response to the release of the Disney Lorcana TCG has been astounding. The game has only been available for about a month, and fans are already eager for more. As we work diligently behind the scenes to meet current demand, we’re also planning incredible updates and new sets for years to come that we can’t wait to share.

Like the first chapter, Rise of the Floodborn would be released at local game stores and Disney Parks two weeks before its mass release on Friday, November 17th. Its mass release at big box retailers is scheduled for December 1st, just in time for the holidays.

Playmats

Playmat features artwork of Disney characters with a fabric top that prevents damage during gameplay. It can also be used as a desk mat or mouse pad. The anti-slip bottom keeps the mat in place when playing a game. The Lorcana Rise of the Floodborn TCG playmats will feature Beast and Winnie the Pooh.

Card Sleeves

Each pack contains 65 matte-finish card sleeves featuring a Disney Lorcana TCG glimmer. The Rise of the Floodborn TCG deck boxes will feature Sisu and Mulan art.

Deckboxes

Each deck box can hold up to 80 sleeved cards. Like the card sleeves, the Rise of the Floodborn TCG deck boxes will feature Sisu and Mulan art.

Investment potential of the Lorcana TCG

While the success of the Lorcana TCG has attracted several players to the game, it has also attracted the attention of several investors. Let’s consider how well the first chapter of the Disney Lorcana TCG has performed as regards monetary value.

Investing in Disney Lorcana boxes

Let’s look at the resale values for the various boxes of the last Disney Lorcana release.

Release FormatRecommended Retail PriceCurrent Price
Booster Pack$5.99$15.03
Booster Boxes$143.76$387
The First Chapter Gift Set$29.99$56
The First Chapter Illumineer’s Trove$29.99$125
Starter Deck$16.99$31

The most significant return on investment can be found in the Illumineer’s Trove, which now sells for over $125. It is worth mentioning that the Gift Set reached heights of over $120 before gradually settling at around $56 to $60.

These prices signify just a little over two to three times the RRP. It doesn’t offer significant ROI for investors who bought these boxes to resell for a profit.

Investing in Singles

Two sets of cards hold the most value in the Disney Lorcana TCG: enchanted cards and promo cards. Several non-enchanted cards sell for quite a reasonable figure, like Rapunzel’s, which costs $50.

However, the most value can be found in collecting enchanted and promo cards. Let’s see the value of some of the best-performing singles from the last Disney Lorcana release. All prices quoted are from the TCGplayer Price Guide website.

Mickey Mouse – Wayward Sorcerer (Alternate Art)$300.44
Tinker Bell – Giant Fairy (Alternate Art)$278.4
Aurora – Dreaming Guardian (Alternate Art)$241
Maui – Hero to All (Alternate Art)$209

For investors looking for ample return on interest, Promo Disney Lorcana cards are the ultimate cards to target. Promo cards hold their value exceedingly well, with almost all promo cards valued at over $1,000.

After promo cards, the next set of Lorcana cards to target are enchanted cards. The average enchanted card has a value above $200, with some selling for as high as $700.

If enchanted Rise of the Floodborn cards do as well as enchanted cards from the first chapter, they’re great places to invest for ample ROI. Indeed, prices will likely hold their value even better as demand for the Lorcana TCG increases.

Final thoughts on Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn

The Lorcana TCG has all the markings of being a powerhouse in the trading card game industry. According to Lorcana co-designer and brand manager Ryan Miller, Lorcana was designed with both core TCG players and new players in mind.

“We designed the game to be easy to learn so that folks that haven’t played a TCG before should be able to pick it up, but also have enough strategic depth to attract the seasoned TCG player….

This approach has been remarkably successful, as the game has attracted millions of casual players and investors. Several cards from the first chapter currently sell for impressive figures. Furthermore, Lorcana seems like it is here to stay.

With more sets being released, cards from the second chapter would be especially desired by collectors and players alike. I recommend grabbing a few packs, as the cards would be worth more a few weeks after their release.
