Everything You Need to Know About Disney Lorcana Into the Inklands

Disney Lorcana’s third set, Into the Inklands, introduces new mechanics and new Disney properties and has two excellent starter decks. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

Disney Lorcana’s third set, Into the Inklands, brought a whole new dimension to the trading card game, featuring an entirely new card type and a plethora of new characters. It is a great set and a good starting point for anyone hoping to jump into the series. Below, we’ve broken down everything you need to know about it so you can pick up your starter deck and get playing.

Every New Disney Franchise in Into the Inklands

There are three new Disney properties introduced to the Lorcana universe in the Into the Inklands set. These are:

• DuckTales
• TaleSpin
• Treasure Planet

With these new additions, players can expect to see iconic characters such as Kit Cloudkicker and Jim Hawkins appear in booster packs and their starter decks.

All Disney Lorcana Into the Inklands Starter Decks

Like all Disney Lorcana sets, there are two different starter decks to choose from. These are the following:

• Ruby and Sapphire deck
  • Featuring the foil cards Moana – Born Leader and Scrooge McDuck – Richest Duck in the World
• Amber and Emerald deck
  • Featuring the foil cards Pongo – Determined Father and Peter Pan – Lost Boy Leader

Every starter deck contains 1 reconstructed deck of 60 cards, including 2 foil cards of the characters on the front of the box, 11 tokens, 1 rulebook, and a booster pack containing 12 random cards. Each deck costs AUD$29.99, although it’s particularly good value when you consider the AUD$9.99 booster pack thrown in.

Into the Inklands Ruby/Sapphire Starter Deck Card List

The Ruby and Sapphire Into the Inklands starter deck is all about challenging your opponents and reaping the rewards. Scrooge McDuck – Richest Duck in the World, can play an item for free whenever he successfully banishes another character. Similarly, Moana – Born Leader can ready all characters on her location whenever she quests, allowing you to challenge again if you want to. It’s a powerful deck, one filled with amazing cards. Here is the full deck list:

• 3 x Della Duck – Unstoppable Mom
• 3 x HeiHei – Accidental Explorer
• 3 x Kakamora – Menacing Sailor
• 3 x Maui – Soaring Demigod
• 2 x Minnie Mouse – Always Classy
• 1 x Moana Born Leader (foil card)

Into the Inklands Amber/Emerald Starter Deck Card List

The Amber and Emerald Into the Inklands starter deck for Disney Lorcana is all about questing and making the most of the new location cards. For example, Peter Pan – Lost Boy Leader, will gain you lore equal to the location he moves to each turn. Furthermore, Pongo – Determined Father can pay two ink per turn to reveal the top card of your deck, and, if it’s a character card, add it to your hand. This is helpful if you have Lucky – The 15th Puppy in play, as whenever he quests, if you have four or more other characters, they all get +1 lore that turn. It’s a deck all about synergies (like all good Lorcana decks) and one I personally play with a lot. Here are all the cards in this deck:

• 5 x Dalmation Puppy – Tail Wagger
• 3 x Kid – Atlantean
• 1 x Lucky – The 15th Puppy
• 2 x Nani – Protective Sister
• 3 x Patch – Intimidating Pup
• 1 x Pluto – Determined Defender
• 3 x Pluto – Friendly Pooch
• 1 x Pongo Determined Father
• 3 x Rolly – Hungry Pup
• 2 x Tinker Bell – Generous Fairy
• 3 x Wendy Darling – Talented Sailor
• 2 x Never Land – Mermaid Lagoon
• 3 x Cubby – Mighty Lost Boy
• 2 x Don Karnage – Prince of Pirates
• 2 x Flotsam – Riffraff
• 1 x Helga Sinclair – Vengeful Partner
• 2 x Horace – No Good Scoundrel
• 2 x Jasper – Common Crook
• 2 x Jetsam – Riffraff
• 2 x Kit Cloudkicker – Tough Guy
• 1 x Peter Pan – Lost Boy Leader
• 1 x Robin Hood – Daydreamer
• 1 x Starkey – Devious Pirate
• 2 x Wildcat – Mechanic
• 2 x Hypnotize
• 3 x Improvise
• 2 x Strike a Good Match
• 3 x De Vil Manor – Cruella’s Estate

Which Into the Inklands Starter Deck Should You Get?

We’d personally recommend most players get the Disney Lorcana Into the Inklands Amber and Emerald starter deck. It makes the best use of the new location cards while offering a robust deck centered around questing. While the Ruby and Sapphire deck is effective at challenging, the Amber and Emerald deck has more than enough to counter most challenges thanks to cards like Nani – Protective Sister.

Additionally, the Disney Lorcana Into the Inklands Amber and Emerald starter deck has one less repeated card from previous sets than the Ruby and Sapphire deck. Of course, it’s not a huge difference. However, if you want to experience mostly new cards from the Into the Inkland set, then you’re better off with the Amber and Emerald deck.

All New Into the Inklands Features

The new feature introduced in the Into the Inklands set is the location cards. These are a brand-new type of card, separate from characters, items, songs, and actions. Location cards, when played, stay on the board until they are banished by your opponent challenging them. Each turn, you gain lore equal to the amount shown on the card. This is separate from questing. Additionally, characters can move onto locations and reap the benefits from their own abilities or the location’s ability.

Locations add an interesting layer of strategy to Disney Lorcana and are a welcome addition to the Into the Inklands set. They force your opponent to deal with an additional quest threat while also giving you the advantage of its ability. The flipside, however, is that you have to pay not only to play the location but to move characters between it. This can get costly, especially when certain cards only work when they’re constantly moving between locations.
