The highlight of this release is the new game mechanic it introduces with several cards that are made up of two ink types rather than just one
(The turn you must wait to use a freshly-played character while they dry is also a much cuter image than Magics summoning sickness.) Being able to add a facedown card from your hand to your inkwell immediately overcomes the common MTG and Pokmon bugbear of finding yourself with no land or energy cards - any Lorcana card with the ink marker around its cost can be turned into ink - and sparks a delicious dilemma about which cards to sacrifice to the inkwell in order to play others
Then look for which two piles have the most rares and mythics between them (or just the cards you want to play the most), and set the others aside
Final Fantasy is one of the most successful game series of all time, with more than 200 million copies sold across the 16 mainline games and various spinoffs
This approach has informed our design and development process, as all the play testing and stress testing of the cards has been done by veteran TCG players to make sure there are lots of combos, synergies, and decks to find in each set. The bonus of having the Disney library to work with, Miller says, is that players can intuitively put together a deck of their favorite characters and still have a fun, engaging experience. Lorcanas D23 reveal has already been a huge success, with cards from the event already selling on the second-hand market at huge markups
