Disney Lorcana has unveiled its latest expansion, Attack of the Vine (Set 13), adding fresh franchises, mechanics, and premium cards to its already thriving TCG. We received exclusive packs from Disney AUNZ and Ravensburger to preview the set and share what fans can expect.
This is the second expansion to feature Pixar properties, breaking the streak of 11 Disney‑centric sets and injecting fresh dynamics into the game. Monsters, Inc., Turning Red, and Up now grace the deck, alongside additional cards from Toy Story, Brave, and The Incredibles (previously introduced in Wilds Unknown). Turning Red introduces the “Temporary Shift” mechanic, letting players transform characters such as Meilin Lee, Ming Lee, or Grandma Wu into their Red Panda forms, boosting stats, lore, and abilities, and automatically healing them at turn’s end.
Attack of the Vine also brings “Team” cards, each featuring two characters and unlocking the “Combo Shift” ability. Players can switch between either character—or both simultaneously—granting strategic advantages tied to the team’s unique power. Deck builders will find the Sulley & Boo team card particularly enticing.
The Up universe emphasizes locations, offering a surge of excitement for deck builders who thrive on location‑based play.
Consistent with its tradition, the set showcases stunning artwork, with Enchanteds and Iconics drawing inspiration from iconic movie posters and cinematic aesthetics.
For newcomers, the recent card rotation—introduced with the Attack of the Vine set—has streamlined deck building. Now, every card from the original Fabled set through the latest release is legal in core constructed formats, eliminating the need to hunt for older cards unless players wish to explore Infinity formats that permit the entire card pool. With the game’s mechanics refreshed and the community actively learning new strategies, there’s no better moment to gather friends, visit a local game store, and immerse yourself in the evolving Lorcana scene.
