The Story So Far
Lorcana's overarching narrative has spent the better part of a year building toward this moment. A thorny, corrupting Vine growth first crept into card artwork back in Whispers in the Well (Set 10), deepened through Winterspell's shadow-and-frost tone (Set 11), and threaded quietly beneath Wilds Unknown's Pixar expansion (Set 12) — three sets of visual foreshadowing paying off here as the Vine finally takes center stage. Attack of the Vine! closes that year-long arc while opening a new one: the introduction of Monsters, Inc., Turning Red, and Up marks the next wave of the game's ongoing Pixar crossover, a thread that began with Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Brave just one set earlier.

What Makes It Special
Attack of the Vine! is Lorcana's 13th main set and the payoff to a year-long background storyline — the thorny Vine growth that had been quietly creeping through the artwork of Whispers in the Well, Winterspell, and Wilds Unknown finally takes center stage. It's also a set of firsts: the first Lorcana release to break past the standard 204-card ceiling, and the debut of three new Pixar franchises — Monsters, Inc., Turning Red, and Up — continuing the Pixar expansion that began with Toy Story in Wilds Unknown. New team-card and dual-Shift mechanics add real deckbuilding depth alongside the story beat.
New to This Set
Mechanic debut: Team cards — multi-character cards featuring two characters together (like Sulley & Boo), expanding what a single card can represent. Dual-Shift also arrives, letting Floodborn characters Shift onto dual-ink cards.
Franchise debuts: Monsters, Inc., Turning Red, and Up make their Lorcana debut in this set.
Narrative theme: The Vine's year-long arc finally pays off in full, with the Pixar expansion continuing into its second wave and the Inklands forever changed.
Top Chase Cards
Belle & Beast - Certain as the Sun (Iconic) — the set's headline Iconic pull; an eight-ink card with a six-cost Shift and a pair of inkwell-readying abilities that make it as build-around as it is chase-worthy.
Lilo & Stitch - Fun-Loving Friends (Iconic) — currently tracking as the set's single most valuable card on the secondary market.
Winnie the Pooh & Piglet - Hunny Mages (Enchanted) — the real top Enchanted, tracking around $916, and one of the strongest early showcases of the set's new team-card mechanic.

Notable Secondary Pulls
Sulley & Boo - Scare Buddies (Enchanted) — tracking around $230–284, one of the set's real early standouts as Monsters, Inc. content settles into the format.
Woody & Buzz Lightyear - Best Buddies (Enchanted) — tracking around $391–408, carrying over strong demand from Wilds Unknown's Toy Story debut.
Mike Wazowski - Heroic Climber (Enchanted) — the Monsters, Inc. debut chase, and one of the set's rare single-character (non-duo) secret rares.
Pull Rates
Ravensburger does not publish official pull rates for Disney Lorcana — the figures below are community-tracked estimates, cross-referenced across two independent sources: a 230-pack sample from TCGtalk, and a separate 479-response community poll credited to u/Narzghal, cited via The Gamers Lodge.
Pull | Estimated Rate |
|---|---|
Enchanted (any) | ~1 in 96 packs (roughly one per sealed case, catalog-wide community estimate) |
Belle & Beast (Iconic) | ~1 in 8 cases minimum — a ~$6,700 product spend for a coin-flip shot at a card tracking around $3,500 |
Lilo & Stitch (Iconic) | Comparably rare; both Iconics track well below a single-case guarantee |
Sample size: 230 packs (TCGtalk), cross-referenced against a separate 479-response community poll. These are community estimates, not official rates or guarantees — treat them as directional, not exact.
How It Compares
Attack of the Vine! follows Wilds Unknown, which introduced Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Brave earlier in 2026. Where Wilds Unknown opened the Pixar door, Attack of the Vine! pushes through it with three more franchises at once and a noticeably darker tone. It's also a structurally bigger release — the 207-card main set plus 38 secret rares makes it Lorcana's largest checklist to date. Across the full 13-set catalog, it ranks 3rd overall — just behind Fabled and The First Chapter, just ahead of Whispers in the Well — near the very top of the entire format, on the strength of near-unanimous critical praise at launch.
Collector Interest Grade Breakdown
Factor | Weight | Score |
|---|---|---|
Community Reception | 30% | 92 |
Chase Card Desirability | 25% | 85 |
Competitive Relevance / Playability | 20% | 70 |
Artistic / Design Merit | 15% | 80 |
Franchise / Nostalgia Pull | 10% | 85 |
Total / Grade | 83.35 — A- |
With Community Reception restored as a scored factor, Attack of the Vine! climbs from B+ to A-. The set drew consistently positive critical coverage at launch — Laughing Place called it "my favorite Disney Lorcana set yet," with other outlets echoing praise for its new mechanics and cohesive story payoff, a more unanimous reception than the format has seen from recent sets. Chase card pricing and the multi-franchise story payoff remain the strongest individual factors, while Competitive/Playability still sits lowest, since the set's new mechanics are meaningful without being format-defining on day one.
Special Notes
Attack of the Vine! is the first Lorcana set to exceed the 204-card main-set format that had held since the game's 2023 launch, and it lands alongside Iconic rarity's second major appearance since its Set 9 debut. Watch for continued volatility on the top Iconic pulls as prerelease-week sales data gets replaced by wider post-launch supply.
Fun Facts / Trivia
The Vine's presence in card artwork was seeded as far back as Whispers in the Well, rewarding attentive collectors who'd been tracking the visual thread for a full year.
Iconic rarity, the tier topping this set's chase list, was introduced only one set family ago in Set 9: Fabled.
Sully and Tigger headline the set's promo slate, with League Play rewards including Morph, Randall Boggs, and Mei from Turning Red.
Scoring Methodology: The Collector Interest Grade for Lorcana set overviews is calculated from five weighted factors — Community Reception (30%), Chase Card Desirability (25%), Competitive Relevance/Playability (20%), Artistic/Design Merit (15%), and Franchise/Nostalgia Pull (10%) — scored 0–100 based on documented facts and sourced critical/community reception, mapped to a letter grade.
