Ravensburger held the official Lorcana Attack of the Vine LoreCast on June 23, 2026. As a result, we now have a complete picture of Set 13. Specifically, this Lorcana Attack of the Vine LoreCast Recap covers every major announcement. This includes three new Pixar properties, two brand-new mechanics, championship rewards, exclusive playmats, and full release dates.
Set 13 Overview: Attack of the Vine
Ravensburger officially titled Set 13 Attack of the Vine. The storyline follows a colossal vine spreading across the realm and consuming flood ink. Consequently, heroes must band together to push back against this growing threat. The prerelease begins on July 17, 2026, at local game stores and select Disney locations. Meanwhile, the wide retail release follows on July 24, 2026.
Three New Pixar Properties Join the Inkwell
Ravensburger confirmed that three Pixar franchises are joining Disney Lorcana. Specifically, Monsters, Inc., Turning Red, and Up will debut in Set 13. Ultimately, this marks a historic first for modern Pixar films appearing in a main set release.
Revealed glimmers include Mike Wazowski and Sulley from Monsters, Inc. Furthermore, Russell and Dug from Up will feature as playable characters. The designers also shared concept sketches and official card layouts during the presentation. These new properties bring fresh ink combinations and character abilities to the game.
Team Cards: A New Way to Play Duo Characters
Set 13 introduces a new “Team” classification. These cards feature two iconic characters on a single card. For example, confirmed Team cards include Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Sulley and Boo, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Pocahontas and Meeko, Darkwing Duck and Launchpad, and Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. A prime example of this duo format is Lilo and Stitch, teaming up as a powerful threat against the spreading vine.
Importantly, Team cards are dual-ink and use specialized shifting mechanics. Combo Shift (seen on Sulley and Boo) lets the card shift on top of either character. In addition, the underlying characters return to the field instead of the discard pile. Duo Shift (seen on Mickey and Minnie) requires both characters on the field before you play the Team card. These mechanics create entirely new deck-building strategies.
Temporary Shift: The New Keyword
Ravensburger also revealed a brand-new keyword called Temporary Shift. This keyword allows characters to transform and revert at the end of the turn. For instance, Meilin Lee can shift into her red panda form for one turn. Subsequently, she returns to her human form automatically.
This differs from standard shift, which permanently replaces a character. However, Temporary Shift opens up reversible combat options. Players can use the transformed form to clear strong opposing glimmers, then revert safely. Because of this, timing and bluffing become key parts of each turn.
Dual-Ink Cards Return
Dual-ink cards are back in Set 13. These cards combine two different ink types on a single character. For instance, Christopher Robin – Hunny Sage is a standout dual-ink card. Additionally, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider both received dual-ink versions. Players must pay their full resource costs to play them. Therefore, dual-ink cards offer significant flexibility during deck construction and open up new archetype possibilities.
Iconic Card Reveals: Belle and Beast, Lilo and Stitch
Set 13 features two new Iconic cards. Belle and Beast, Certain as the Sun uses Ruby and Sapphire ink. Moreover, Lilo and Stitch, Fun-Loving Friends uses Amber and Steel ink. Both cards debut a picture-in-picture movie poster format for the Iconic rarity line.
Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue
Ravensburger announced a new cooperative product called the Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue. This expansion features Winnie the Pooh and friends in sorcerer outfits. It comes with two pre-constructed player decks and a special oversized scenario boss deck. Furthermore, the quest includes multiple difficulty levels for different skill levels.
Additionally, an exclusive Winnie the Pooh promo card will be available at Disney Parks starting in July. Therefore, collectors should plan their visits accordingly.
Championship Playmats and Organized Play Rewards
Ravensburger revealed the Set Championship playmat for the Attack of the Vine season. It features artwork of Mike Wazowski, Sulley, and Boo from Monsters, Inc. Meanwhile, this is the debut of a Set Championship playmat that does not share artwork with its corresponding promo card.
For Organized Play rewards, Set championship winners receive a Champion playmat, a foil promo card, and booster packs. Ultimately, top finishers earn tiered rewards including foil and non-foil promo cards. Moreover, you can find local Set Championship events through the Disney Lorcana Play Network at tcg.ravensburgerplay.com.
Exclusive Playmats and Accessories
Several exclusive playmats will launch alongside Set 13. A Robin Hood and Little John playmat is available exclusively through the Ravensburger online store. In addition, Disney locations will sell a “With a Few Good Friends” playmat and a foiled “Winnie the Pooh, Hunny Sage” playmat. Standard playmats featuring Monsters, Inc. and “Circle of Life” enchanted art will arrive at all retailers.
Format Rotation Update
With the release of Attack of the Vine, year-two sets have rotated out of the standard constructed format. Consequently, competitive players should review their decklists before the prerelease. This rotation will significantly reshape the meta heading into the new season.
