Disney Lorcana’s Pixar set signals a major shift in how the game is played
Disney Lorcana's new set, Wilds Unknown, introduces Pixar-themed cards and emphasizes typal strategies for the first time, particularly centered around the new 'Toy' subtype. The set encourages deck-building around character types like Toys, with synergistic mechanics in amber, emerald, and ruby ink colors. Key characters from Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Encanto drive these new strategies with abilities that reward thematic consistency. This marks a strategic shift for the game, aligning it more closely with mechanics seen in other TCGs like Magic: The Gathering.
