Disney Lorcana Is Finally Adding Cards Based On Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Disney Lorcana is finally introducing one of its most highly requested movies to the game, with Into The Inklands adding cards based on Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Alongside Atlantis, today’s animated trailer for Into the Inklands also revealed the game’s first-ever legendary item card, DuckTales’ Lucky Coin, as well as a few more things ahead of its February 23 launch.

The biggest news here is, as mentioned, Atlantis: The Lost Empire is coming to Into The Inklands. Audrey Ramirez, the mechanic of the team who went to Atlantis in the woefully underappreciated 2001 classic, fits nicely into Sapphire’s item theme.

It pairs with items that need exerting, like The Sorcerer’s Spellbook to gain an extra lore each turn, or Mouse Armor to get more resist effects out onto the board. It also gives a great example as to why most effects that let you unexert cards then stop them from questing for the rest of the turn, as otherwise Audrey would be completely busted in certain decks.

With Atlantis now literally on the table, there are so many characters we could see. Milo and Kida are the obvious two, but also Vinnie, Mole, Helga, the Leviathan, Dr. Sweet, and, of course, Cookie and his staple diet of beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard. I’m also really keen to see Atlantis itself pop up as one of Into the Inklands’ new Location cards.

Alongside Atlantis, the trailer also gave us two new Dreamborn cards in Prince Eric, Expert Helmsman and Tinker Bell, Very Clever Fairy; and an item with the Sumerian Talisman. But, alongside them, we got a first for Lorcana: a legendary rare item. Lucky Dime exerts to effectively quest equal to a chosen character's lore value. Throw that in with The First Chapter's Mickey Mouse, Brave Little Tailor, and you could be gaining eight whole Lore each turn.

All this comes from the new trailer for Into the Inklands, which follows the Illumineer Venturo and their team of Glimmers. After a relatively slow start for the story in The First Chapter and Rise of the Floodborn, it’s nice to see Lorcana really get into the swing of things with its narrative.

All these reveals tell us one crucial thing about Into the Inklands: alongside the usual suspects like Moana and Trangled, Ravensburger is filling it with deep cuts. We’ve already had multiple Treasure Planet cards revealed to join The First Chapters’ John Silver, the city of Fang from Raya and the Last Dragon is back as a Location card, and TaleSpin is already confirmed to be making an appearance at some point. With so little of the set currently revealed, who knows what else we’ll get?

Into the Inklands launches in local game stores on February 23, ahead of its big-box retail launch on March 8.
