With the next Disney Lorcana expansion, Shimmering Skies, coming soon, we’re excited to reveal a new card from the set, the Healing Decanter.
Shimmering Skies will bring more iconic characters from The Lion King, Moana, and one of my personal favorites, The Emperor’s New Groove, to the ever-growing Disney Lorcana. Excitingly, this set welcomes a debutant into the mix, with Wreck-It Ralph making its first appearance in the Disney Lorcana universe. The release date is fast approaching, with cards expected to hit shelves on August 9. So, let’s talk about one of the new cards from the set, the Healing Decanter.
Disney Lorcana, Shimmering Skies: The Healing Decanter
Say hello to the Healing Decanter, a versatile new card in the Shimmering Skies expansion. This item looks to strengthen Amber in the meta by allowing Illumineers to continuously heal their characters. This will give you board advantage and let you challenge enemy characters with abandon.
- Card Type: Item
- Inkable: Yes
- Ink Colour: Amber
- Ink Cost: 2
- Rarity: Common
- Card Effect: Renewing Essence – Exert – Remove up to 2 damage from chosen character.
Once played, items in Disney Lorcana remain on the field until removed by an opponent and can be used every turn. They often have powerful effects that provide advantages, such as healing, dealing damage, drawing cards, or reducing ink costs. The Healing Decanter’s effect, Renewing Essence, can be activated by exerting it. This allows players to remove two damage from a character, thus maintaining board presence and gaining an upper hand when challenging opponents.
Healing Decanter: Does it Make The Cut?
Yes, the Healing Decanter card is definitely worth picking up. When building a deck, Illumineers are always trying to get in as many Inkable cards as they can. Doing so limits the chance of a poor draw leaving you without any ink, earning yourself a quick defeat. Fortunately, the Healing Decanter is Inkable, allowing you to play it in your inkwell, to be used for one ink.
Additionally, its ability to remove two damage is immensely valuable, especially during the early game. Unless your opponent has the ability to quickly remove the Healing Decanter, you can ostensibly challenge or be challenged without any repercussions. Furthermore, as Illumineers are allowed to have four of each card in their deck, you can have backup Healing Decanters, ensuring you’re always able to heal.
Alternatively, you can stack them, bringing multiple out in quick succession to heal any and all damage. With its low Ink cost, there will be no stopping you. Being able to play multiple Healing Decanters is immensely valuable and makes your characters incredibly difficult to banish. This will make it harder and harder for your opponent to prevent you from questing the longer the game goes on.
With the Healing Decanter being a common, it certainly won’t be a world beater. However, we believe it will be a solid value engine in Amber and could become a staple in challenge-based archetypes. That’s all for our preview of the Healing Decanter from the Disney Lorcana: Shimmering Skies. For more news and guides be sure to check out our GuideHub.
