Please find below the names, Ink cost, Rarity, and special effects of the character cards in Lorcana. Additionally, each card has a Strength value indicating its damage dealing potential, a Willpower value indicating its defense or health, and a Lore value indicating how much lore it earns when questing.
Disney Lorcana Amethyst Cards - Dr. Facilier, Agent Provocateur
Name: Dr. Facilier, Agent Provocateur
Rarity: Rare
Cost: 7 Ink
Strength: 4
Willpower: 5
Lore: 3
Effects: Shift 5 - This character has a reduced cost of 5 Ink when played on top of another Dr. Facilier card.
Into The Shadows - As long as this card is in play, it allows the player to retrieve all banished characters from a challenge and return them to their hand. However, if this card itself is banished, it will still be discarded as usual.
Lorcana players familiar with Amethyst decks will not be surprised by this entry. Dr. Facilier, Agent Provocateur's Into The Shadows ability is truly remarkable. While this card is active, any banished characters controlled by the player will be returned to their hand instead of being discarded. This allows the player to use them again in the next turn or add them to the Inkwell. Many Lorcana players face the challenge of running out of cards, but this card guarantees that the player's crucial strategic elements will not be permanently lost.
Dr. Facilier, Agent Provocateur becomes even more valuable when combined with certain other cards. For instance, pairing it with White Rabbit's Pocket Watch provides the Rush trait to a character, enabling the cards saved by Dr. Facilier to be immediately used for challenges. The Shift ability on this card allows it to be played as soon as the player has five Ink available, as long as there is another card named Dr. Facilier in play. The best part is that Dr. Facilier, Agent Provocateur is included in the Amber/Amethyst Starter Deck.
Disney Lorcana Amethyst Cards - Friends On The Other Side
Name: Friends On The Other Side
Rarity: Common
Cost: 3 Ink (Free if the player exerts a character with cost 3 or more)
Effect: Draw two cards
The Friends On The Other Side card is an Amethyst Song Card that has a deceptive advantage: it lets players draw two cards. What players may not realize at first is how scarce cards can be in the game, until they acquire Lorcana. With the need to balance playing cards and adding them to the Inkwell, being able to draw two additional cards from Friends On The Other Side becomes immensely helpful. Furthermore, it only costs three Ink, making it relatively inexpensive and even allowing it to be added directly to the Inkwell.
To enhance the card's effectiveness, it can be played for free as a Song card if players exert a character with a cost of three or more. While this means that the character won't be able to participate in a Quest or Challenge during that turn, it does free up the Inkwell, enabling players to potentially play any cards they draw on that same turn. These cards will then be readily available for action in the next turn, which can take opponents by surprise, especially if they were expecting the player to be out of cards.
Disney Lorcana Amethyst Cards - Ursula's Cauldron
Name: Ursula's Cauldron
Rarity: Uncommon
Cost: 2 Ink
Ability: Exert this card to view the top two cards of the deck. Place one on the top of the deck and one on the bottom.
Ursula's Cauldron is initially perceived as a meek item with little utility. However, when players activate this card, they gain the ability to view the top two cards of their deck, selecting one to return to the top and the other to place at the bottom. Consequently, players are granted a remarkable level of control over their card draws, always presenting them with two possible options for their next turn.
When combined with the various card draw effects in the Amethyst set, this card becomes even more advantageous. Not only does it not require any ink to activate, but it also only costs two Ink to play. As a consequence, it grants players an incredibly useful advantage for the remainder of the match, unless it is somehow destroyed by an opponent. The sole drawback to this card is the inability to add it to the Inkwell. However, apart from that limitation, playing Ursula's Cauldron is nearly always a wise decision. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, and Ursula's Cauldron empowers players by providing them with the essential knowledge and choices needed to strategically plan their future turns.
Disney Lorcana Amethyst Cards - Olaf, Friendly Snowman
Name: Olaf, Friendly Snowman
Rarity: Uncommon
Cost: 1 Ink
Strength: 1
Willpower: 3
Lore: 1
Including Olaf, the Friendly Snowman on the list of the best Amethyst cards in Disney Lorcana's first chapter may appear illogical; however, considering its cost, this card proves to be remarkably effective. Most one-cost cards only possess a strength of two, which would require two separate challenges to overcome Olaf's three Willpower. Although this may not seem significant, Olaf's robust health acts as a deterrent, dissuading opponents from attempting to challenge him at all. As the game progresses and more expensive cards with higher strength are introduced, justifying a challenge against Olaf, the Friendly Snowman becomes increasingly arduous.
Consequently, Olaf can remain on the board, granting the player a consistent one Lore per turn. In a game where a single Lore often decides the outcome, this is an enormously advantageous feature. When combined with Lorcana cards capable of healing him or any other character possessing the Support ability (which adds their strength to a selected card during quests), Olaf can rapidly evolve into a formidable asset early on in the game.
Disney Lorcana is available now.
