"Buy this list" opens TCGplayer Mass Entry with all 60 copies pre-loaded. "Open in Deck Lab" loads the same shell in our builder, where you can swap in what you already own and price only the missing cards.

The plan

Race to 20 lore before they stabilize — cheap evasive lore-engines and rush characters, minimal top-end.

Mulligan: Keep any hand with two 1-2 cost plays and at least one evasive body; ship hands with no early drops or nothing below 4 cost.

Most common mistake: Trading an evasive quester in combat instead of questing every turn — aggro's math only works if lore keeps ticking.

Key cards

Cinderella — Dream Come True — Whispers in the Well

Diablo — Devoted Herald — Ursula's Return

How to read these lists

Every list on this page is a curated archetype shell maintained by InkSight: a legal 60-card Disney Lorcana deck assembled by the same deterministic Deck Lab engine you can run yourself, from the archetype's own role targets and today's card pool. They are starting points for building and pricing, not tournament results. We publish no meta share and no win rate for them, because we do not have that data and will not estimate it.

Deck legality changes as formats rotate. Check the current rules before you buy.
