Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine: Complete Set 13 Guide

Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine is the game's thirteenth set. Prerelease events happened July 17 at local game stores, with wide retail release following on July 24, 2026. Three Pixar franchises join Lorcana for the first time, redesigned classics from Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid, and the Mickey Mouse Gang return, the Iconic and Epic rarity tiers (both introduced back in Set 9: Fabled) supply the rarest pulls above Enchanted, and a trio of new mechanics (Hunny, Temporary Shift, and Vineling tokens) change how decks get built.

TL;DR: Attack of the Vine (Set 13) had its prerelease and Core Constructed rotation on July 17, 2026, and reaches wide retail release on July 24, 2026. It's 207 cards, the largest Lorcana set yet. Monsters Inc goes Emerald, Up goes Sapphire, Turning Red goes Ruby. Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage headlines the Winnie the Pooh redesign and breaks the two-ink deck rule for Hunny cards. Booster packs are $5.99 for 12 cards. The confirmed headline collector targets are two Iconic dual-ink cards, Lilo & Stitch and Belle & Beast, rarer than Enchanted.

Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine: what is Set 13? (quick answer)

Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine is Set 13 of the Disney Lorcana trading card game, published by Ravensburger. It introduces characters from Monsters Inc, Up, and Turning Red for the first time, brings redesigned cards for Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid, and the Mickey Mouse Gang, and its rarest pulls sit at the Iconic tier above Enchanted cards. The set became legal in both Core Constructed and Infinity format on July 17, 2026, prerelease day, the same date Sets 5-8 rotated out of Core Constructed. Wide retail release across all stores follows on July 24, 2026.

What Is Attack of the Vine

Each Lorcana set adds new fictional worlds and mechanics alongside recurring Disney characters. Attack of the Vine pulls from the Pixar catalog for the first time in a full IP sense, and the selection here is genuinely strong. Monsters Inc, Up, Turning Red: these aren't obscure picks. Alongside the debuts, Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid, and the Mickey Mouse Gang return with freshly redesigned cards, which is where the set's most game-changing new mechanic actually lives.

The set name references the Vine, a corrupting force that has been building in set artwork since Whispers in the Well and now becomes a mechanical presence: it spawns Vineling character tokens and turns classic villains into "Created by the Vine" cards. Attack of the Vine is also the largest Lorcana set printed to date at 207 cards, more than any previous release. Each new IP lands in a specific ink color chosen to fit the franchise's personality: Monsters Inc's chaotic scare energy goes to Emerald, while Carl Fredricksen's careful-planner archetype fits Sapphire's knowledge-and-support identity better than any character they've assigned there before.

The Iconic rarity is what separates Set 13 from a standard large expansion. Ravensburger hasn't disclosed print rates, but Iconic sits above Enchanted. Since Enchanted already averages one per display box, Iconic cards will be rare enough that most players will buy theirs on the secondary market. This is a new collector ceiling, and it'll drive prices. The full breakdown of pull rate estimates and buying strategy is in the Disney Lorcana Iconic rarity guide.

Set 13 also continues the Enchanted card tradition: Art Nouveau alternate illustrations for select cards, one per 24-pack display on average. They're functionally identical to base versions but the art style is genuinely distinctive and they hold value well.

New Characters and Ink Assignments

The four new franchises each land in a specific ink color. Here's the breakdown based on confirmed spoilers:

Emerald: Monsters Inc Mike Wazowski, James P. Sullivan (Sulley), and Boo join Emerald ink. Emerald runs trickster and ramp strategies, and the Monsters Inc characters fit that role with abilities tied to scaring, energy generation, and disruption. Boo has already drawn early community interest: she's a child character with passive mechanics, which is a design space Lorcana hasn't used much.

Sapphire: Up Carl Fredricksen, Dug, and Russell arrive in Sapphire. Sapphire is the knowledge-and-utility color, which fits Carl's careful-planner personality and Russell's scout resourcefulness. Dug will likely enable friendly-creature synergies given his whole deal.

Ruby: Turning Red Turning Red's red panda transformation gets two separate Temporary Shift cards in Ruby, one for each generation: Meilin "Mei" Lee, Popular Red Panda (6 ink base, 3 ink with Temporary Shift, sings for bonus lore with her Karaoke Queen ability) and her mother Ming Lee, Giant Red Panda (9 ink base, 7 ink with Temporary Shift, 10/10 stats, readies after challenging). They're distinct cards, not two versions of the same character, and both show off the set's flagship new keyword. Ruby backs aggressive strategies and character-heavy boards, which fits the panda transformations well.

Returning classics: Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid, and the Mickey Mouse Gang Attack of the Vine isn't only about new IPs. Winnie the Pooh gets the biggest mechanical spotlight of the three returning franchises through Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage, a dual-ink Amethyst/Sapphire Legendary. His Gather the Party ability lets any card carrying the new Hunny classification join your deck regardless of ink color, breaking Lorcana's two-ink deck-building rule for the first time since the game launched in 2023. His Magical Summons ability tutors a Hunny card to hand for 6 ink as a 4/4. The Little Mermaid and Mickey Mouse Gang also return with redesigned cards, though without a rule-breaking mechanic attached.

Amber and Steel continue with classic Disney princess characters and villain or action-heavy cards.

New Mechanics: Hunny, Temporary Shift, and Vineling Tokens

Attack of the Vine ships with three confirmed mechanics that change deckbuilding and board state, not just the card pool.

Hunny breaks the two-ink rule. Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage (Amethyst/Sapphire) carries a passive ability called Gather the Party: any card with the Hunny classification can go in your deck regardless of its ink color as long as Christopher Robin is in the deck too. Lorcana has run on a strict two-ink deck limit since launch in 2023, so this is the first card ever printed that legally breaks it. His second ability, Magical Summons, lets him search your deck for a Hunny card and add it straight to hand when he enters play for 6 ink as a 4/4.

Temporary Shift is a bounce-back version of Shift. A character with Temporary Shift can shift onto a same-named card in play for a reduced cost, then returns to your hand at the end of the turn with all damage removed and the base form reset. You can shift it back in again next turn at the same reduced cost. The set's two showcase cards are Turning Red's red panda transformations: Meilin Lee, Popular Red Panda (3 ink Temporary Shift cost) and her mother Ming Lee, Giant Red Panda (7 ink Temporary Shift cost, 10/10 stats).

Team is a new classification that unlocks new Shift variants. Team cards represent two characters at once, and any character sharing a name with a member of a Team card becomes a valid Shift target. This is where Combo Shift and Duo Shift come in, letting characters like Sulley and Boo shift together onto a Team card, mechanically reinforcing the set's teamwork theme.

Vineling tokens come from the set's antagonist. The Vine, the corrupting force teased in set artwork since Whispers in the Well, spawns Vineling character tokens and also turns classic Disney villains into corrupted Vineling cards, printed as "Created by the Vine": Ursula, Pete, Gaston, and Scar all get this treatment in Set 13.

Products and What to Buy

Attack of the Vine ships with the standard Lorcana product slate. Here's what's available and what each option is actually for:

Booster packs are 12 cards each at $5.99 MSRP. They're the baseline entry point if you want to build a collection or try your luck at Iconic and Enchanted pulls without committing to a full box.

A booster display is 24 packs and averages one Enchanted card across the box (the specific card is random). At MSRP that's around $143.76, though actual retail pricing varies. If you're specifically chasing Enchanted cards, buying by the display is the math-efficient route over single packs.

Starter decks are pre-built and legal out of the box. Lorcana typically ships two per major set release, and they usually include a foil promo card not available in boosters. These are the right call for new players who want to play immediately without building from singles.

Prerelease kits (for the July 17 events) contained 6 booster packs plus an exclusive promo. Local game stores ran sealed format tournaments where players built a deck from their 6 packs and played on the spot. It was the fastest way to get cards before the July 24 wide release, and prerelease promos are sometimes worth holding onto.

What to buy based on your goal:

• New player: starter deck, then 1-2 booster packs to get familiar with the new cards
• Casual collector: one booster display for the guaranteed Enchanted
• Competitive player: wait for spoilers to confirm which Legendary cards see play, then buy singles
• Iconic chaser: multiple displays or direct secondary market purchases once prices settle after launch

The official product listing is available on the Ravensburger website and TCGPlayer's Disney Lorcana section. For the full retailer breakdown and launch-week pricing strategy, see the Attack of the Vine release date and where to buy guide.

Chase Cards and Rarities

The rarity hierarchy in Attack of the Vine runs from Common at the bottom through Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Legendary, Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic at the top.

Iconic rarity is the tier getting the most attention this set, even though it isn't new: Ravensburger introduced both Epic and Iconic together in Set 9: Fabled. Two Iconic cards are officially confirmed for Attack of the Vine, and both are dual-ink, marking the return of dual-ink cards to the game: Lilo & Stitch, Fun-Loving Friends (Amber/Steel) and Belle & Beast, Certain as the Sun (Ruby/Sapphire). Both use the movie-poster-inspired "Cinemagic" full-bleed art treatment that Ravensburger's Creative Spotlight positioned as the set's top collector target, above even Enchanted.

Set 13 also confirms 18 Epic cards, sitting one tier below Enchanted, and 18 Enchanted cards, noticeably more than the 5-8 range typical of earlier sets, with most of the Enchanted prints dual-ink as well. Winnie the Pooh & Piglet, Hunny Mages headlines the Enchanted lineup (Christopher Robin, Hunny Sage himself is a base Legendary card, not an Enchanted print) alongside Sulley & Boo, Meilin Lee (Popular Red Panda), and Mike Wazowski. In previous sets, Enchanted versions of Amber ink Disney princesses and Amethyst villain cards have generally held the highest secondary market prices; in Set 13, the Enchanted debuts of Monsters Inc and Turning Red characters are the ones drawing the most early collector attention.

Legendary cards sit one tier below Enchanted and matter most for competitive play. A Legendary that sees real play in Core or Infinity format will drive demand regardless of its art treatment. These are the cards to watch as tournament data comes in following the July 17 Core Constructed legalization and the July 24 wide release.

Format Impact

Lorcana runs two active formats right now, and they feel different enough that which one you play should influence what you buy.

Core Format (Sets 9-13 after rotation) Core format rotated on July 17, 2026, prerelease day, not the July 24 wide release. Sets 5-8, the Year-Two block (Shimmering Skies, Azurite Sea, Archazia's Island, and Reign of Jafar), left Core Constructed that day, leaving Core as Sets 9 through 13. A deck already built on Sets 9-12 cards can add Set 13 pieces without losing anything; a list still leaning on Sets 5-8 pieces needs replacements for whatever rotated out. See the site's rotation guide for the full breakdown of what's leaving and which current decks survive intact.

Practically: Emerald decks gain Monsters Inc disruption tools, Sapphire support decks gain Carl and Dug for utility, Ruby aggro gains Meilin Lee as a possible threat. None of these are expected to warp Core format immediately, but the Iconic and Legendary cards, plus whatever gaps rotation left, will take a week or two of tournament data to assess properly. Don't panic-buy based on day-one speculation.

Infinity Format (all sets ever) Infinity format includes every Lorcana set ever printed. The pool is large enough that Set 13 adds breadth without shifting the meta dramatically. The format rewards finding old cards with niche applications, and the new Pixar characters may fit into synergy engines that weren't viable before.

For a full breakdown of how the two formats differ in card pool, rotation risk, and deck investment, see the Core vs Infinity format guide (linked below in Related Reading).

The previous set, Wilds of Unknown (Set 12), is a useful comparison point: it shifted Amethyst and Amber strategies in Core format within its first month. Attack of the Vine is likely to follow a similar adoption curve. If you're curious how Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown compared as a set, that guide covers the card impact in detail.
