Ravensburger has revealed Disney Lorcana’s fourth set, capping off the first year of the game. We might not have known she had gone away, but Ursula is back in Ursula’s Return.
Alongside Ursula, Ursula’s Return will also feature the debut of characters from Encanto, one of the most heavily requested inclusions into Lorcana since its debut.
Ursula’s Return finishes off the first year of the game’s story, and follows the Illumineers as they finally face off against Ursula and the forces of darkness that have been building up since The First Chapter. The trailer shows off Glimmer-on-Glimmer battles, including characters like Mulan, Ariel, and, of course, Ursula herself as she ascends to Lorcana’s biggest villain.
We got out first look at the set in the game’s inaugural Lorecast, including an animated trailer for the set, followed up by a podcast going over what we can expect to see when it launches this May.
The first cards revealed for Ursula’s Return include Ariel, Sonic Warrior – the first Ariel Floodborn that’ll fit nicely into the Amber/Steel Steelsong decks. We also saw Mirabelle Madrigal, Gift of the Family; which finally brings Encanto into Lorcana.
Mirabelle’s ability buffs the questing ability of other Madrigals, giving them a similar typal role in Ursula’s Return that Dwarves in Rise of the Floodborn and the Dalmatians in Into the Inklands played.
The tie-in Amber/Amethyst starter deck will include other Madrigals from Encanto, making this set more like Mirabelle’s Arrival than Ursula’s Return. Felix, Julieta, Dolores, Luisa, and, of course, Bruno all pop up in the deck, and there’s a good chance we’ll see more of them pop up in either the deck or the set itself, like Pepa or Isabela.
The first legendary rare reveal for Ursula’s Return is Mulan, Elite Archery – a Floodborn that behooves you to shift into play in order to use its +3 strength buff to take an opponent’s character out in a challenge. It even shows off a new card frame for the set, with black swirls creeping in from the sides to show Ursula’s influence on the events of the story.
Meanwhile, Mickey Mouse, Playful Sorcerer is the third Floodborn revealed. It’s the big payoff for Brooms we’ve been waiting for since The First Chapter, with its Sweep Away ability letting you remove opponents’ characters, provided you have enough Brooms out in play.
The final card revealed in the first Lorecast is Mickey’s mentor, Yen Sid, Powerful Sorcerer. Another payoff for Broom decks, it lets you draw cards and quest for three lore, provided you have Brooms in play. With this, Steel and Amethyst solidifies itself as the colour pair for Broom decks, so maybe we’ll finally see it become part of the meta at long last?
