As Disney Lorcana approaches its final booster set of the year, IGN has secured an exclusive first look at two new cards arriving in Hyperia City. The upcoming expansion will introduce Héctor Rivera, Street Magician—an Epic rarity card marking Coco’s debut in the game—and Enchanted Tiana, Party Hostess, a fresh take on the Princess and the Frog character that debuted earlier this season.
The reveal comes as anticipation builds around Hyperia City, which promises to deliver more of the visually stunning Disney cards that have defined Lorcana’s reputation. Both newly unveiled cards share a strategic focus on discard mechanics, making them natural fits for decks built around manipulating the discard pile and recurring discarded cards back into play.
Coco Enters the Fray
The introduction of Héctor Rivera continues Pixar’s growing footprint in Disney Lorcana. Players will now be able to field characters from the Land of the Dead, expanding the game’s roster beyond its traditional fairy tale and animated classics foundation. The Street Magician variant offers a distinct aesthetic interpretation of the beloved Coco character, bringing his warmth and musical spirit into the competitive card format.
While The Princess and the Frog has already made its presence felt in Lorcana through earlier releases, this new Enchanted Tiana card presents the character in an entirely new light. Rather than her usual royal attire, Tiana appears here wearing a festive party dress, signaling that Hyperia City may explore more celebratory and seasonal themes within its artwork.
A Discard-Centric Design
Both cards are engineered to work within discard-based strategies, a deck archetype that has proven consistently viable in Lorcana’s competitive scene. Enchanted Tiana, Party Hostess stands out as the clearest example of this design philosophy, offering players the ability to play a costly location for free provided it was discarded through her special ability.
This is an exciting time for Disney Lorcana fans. Hyperia City rounds out the year with some truly beautiful cards, and seeing Coco join the game alongside this fresh take on Tiana shows how much the world keeps expanding.

The discard synergy raises an intriguing question for competitive players: whether Hyperia City will include a new location that specifically synergizes with Tiana’s ability. Such coordination could make her a centerpiece in decks built to exploit recurring card effects, though the full scope of set interactions remains to be seen.
Looking Ahead
Hyperia City is positioned as Disney Lorcana’s last booster release of the year, giving players one final opportunity to expand their collections before the holiday season. As more cards from the set are revealed in the coming weeks, fans will gain a clearer picture of how Héctor Rivera and Enchanted Tiana fit into the broader competitive landscape.
For now, these two exclusive reveals offer just a glimpse of what awaits, with dozens more cards expected to join the lineup as Hyperia City’s full roster unfolds. Players building discard-focused decks should keep an eye on this new Tiana, whose ability could prove pivotal in the right deck construction.
