Disney's Lorcana has taken the trading card game community by storm, leaving many players unsure of how to start with a new game and ruleset. Starter Decks are the answer, providing prebuilt decks that offer a balanced and easily understandable playstyle. Ravensburger offers three different Starter Deck options, each offering a unique playstyle and a plethora of new cards. These decks are also a reliable way to acquire specific cards, unlike the random nature of booster packs.
While building a deck in Disney Lorcana is relatively straightforward, constructing a strong deck can be challenging. This is where the Starter Decks truly shine, serving as a guide to determine what strategies work and what do not. Players can further enhance and customize the Starter Decks as they collect more cards, or leverage their newfound knowledge to create an entirely new deck from scratch, incorporating some cards from the Starter Decks.
What is a Starter Deck?
A Disney Lorcana Starter Deck consists of a preset collection of 60 cards. Additionally, each Starter Deck includes a booster pack containing an additional 12 randomly selected cards of varying rarity. Currently, there are three Starter Decks available, each representing two of Disney Lorcana's six Ink types. Players can choose from the Amethyst and Amber, Emerald and Ruby, or Sapphire and Steel Starter Decks, each offering unique cards and playstyles for experimentation. Please find below a detailed list of the cards included in each Starter Deck.
Disney Lorcana - Amber and Amethyst Starter Deck Cards
The Amber and Amethyst Starter Deck features an array of captivating cards that seamlessly complement each other, such as the dynamic duo of Moana from Motunui and Cinderella.

Within the starter deck, you will discover an impressive assortment of 60 cards meticulously organized by cost and arranged alphabetically, mirroring the official Disney Lorcana app's sorting system.
