You can feel the spirit of these characters through the game cards theyre richly saturated, expressive, and set against scenes that seem pulled straight from the screen
(The turn you must wait to use a freshly-played character while they dry is also a much cuter image than Magics summoning sickness.) Being able to add a facedown card from your hand to your inkwell immediately overcomes the common MTG and Pokmon bugbear of finding yourself with no land or energy cards - any Lorcana card with the ink marker around its cost can be turned into ink - and sparks a delicious dilemma about which cards to sacrifice to the inkwell in order to play others
Each of these are alternate versions of cards in the standard set, but with differing artwork and effects
Mind you, Im not a hardcore CCG player, and I dont usually seek these experiences out, but Ive got a few friends who play these games competitively or judge competitions, and I trust their assessment based on the Lorcana starter sets
Disney Lorcana is planned for release in local game stores on August 18th, ahead of a wide release on September 1st
