Disney Lorcana’s Attack of the Vine set breaks one of the game’s most important rules
Disney Lorcana is implementing its most significant rules change since launch with the upcoming “Attack of the Vine” set. The trading card game has long been defined by a fundamental deckbuilding restriction: decks could only contain cards from one or two ink colors. This rule has been central to Lorcana’s design identity, forcing players to make meaningful strategic choices about card selection and deck construction—a principle similar to Magic: The Gathering’s legendary color pie system.
The new set will break this foundational rule, marking a major evolution in the game’s design philosophy three years after its debut. By allowing more flexible color combinations, the change will open up new deckbuilding possibilities and strategic options previously unavailable to players. This shift reflects how trading card games evolve over time, with designers finding ways to expand the rules and mechanics while maintaining game balance. The modification mirrors Magic: The Gathering’s own gradual expansion of color interactions across its 30-plus-year history. The rule change is expected to significantly reshape the competitive landscape, creating new deck archetypes and strategies for players to explore and potentially altering the meta-game.
