Card Layout

Lorcana Cards have several parts. These parts explain how the cards work in game, along with other out-of-game aspects. Some parts are on every card, while other are exclusive to certain card types. The following is a breakdown of all of a cards parts.

#### Card Art

All cards have art. The card art takes up the top half of the card. Looking at the card art is the quickest and easiest way to distinguish between different cards. The card art (while it may give an idea of the cards stats, effect, classification(s), etc.) has no impact on the actual game.

#### Ink Cost

All cards cost a certain amount of ink; this cost will have to be paid in order to play any card (this cost can be reduced using certain cards or the keyword shift). The ink cost is located in the top left corner of the card.

#### Card Name

Every card has a name. Not only is this one of a card’s most distinguishing features, it also determines how many of a specific card can be in your deck. In Lorcana’s main format, Core Constructed, you can only use 4 cards with the same name.

#### Ink Banner

The ink banner is the colored space behind the card’s name. It is located right in the center of the card. It is one of the two indicators of a card’s ink color.

#### Ink Icon

The ink icon is the second indicator of a card’s ink color, depicting that ink’s symbol. It is located under the ink banner, on the left side of the classification bar.

#### Classification Bar

The classification bar is located right under the ink banner and matches it’s color. On it is listed the cards classification(s) (characters), or it’s card type(s) (actions, songs, items, locations).

#### Illustrator(s)

Illustrators are the people who drew the final card art. Their name(s) are listed in the bottom left corner of the card.

#### Set/Card Number

A card’s card number informs the player of several out-of-game elements of the card. It is located under the card illustrator’s name, in the bottom left corner of the card. The card number is made up of two main parts. The first part is the “set number”. The set number denotes the cards place in the set (for example, Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor’s set number is 115/204). Set numbers for main set cards are ordered like this: first by ink color in alphabetical order (amber, amethyst, emerald, ruby, sapphire, steel), then each color broken down into characters, then actions (with songs), then items, then locations in that order, and finally those sections are also in alphabetical order.

In between the two parts is the two-letter code for the language the card text is in (for example, EN is the two-letter code for English). The second part is the “set indicator”. This number denotes what set the card is from (for example, the set indicator for The First Chapter is 1). So a full card number (using Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor as an example, and excluding the two-letter code) would be 115/204 - 1.

The card numbers for Enchanted cards go above the set number, but still follow the other ordering rules for Lorcana cards (the card number for Aladdin - Heroic Outlaw (Enchanted) is 211/204 - 1). Promotional Cards (Promo Cards) also follow different rules. They are kind of treated as their own set in a way; each one has a set number (one that’s different from the set number of its regular version) with the number of cards in the set being replaced by “P1”, and the same set indicator as its regular version. An example of this would be Yzma - Alchemist (The First Chapter Lorcana League/Organized Play Kit), with its card number (without a two-letter code) being 10/P1 - 1.

#### Rarity

A card’s rarity denotes how hard it is to pull from packs. The rarity symbol is located at the bottom middle of the card, between the artist’s name and card number on the left and the copyright on the right. Lorcana has 6 rarities each with their own symbol: Common (a gray circle split into three parts), Uncommon (a white open book), Rare (a bronze-colored triangle split into three parts), Super Rare (a silver diamond split into five parts), Legendary (a golden pentagon split into five parts), and Enchanted (a rainbow hexagon split into six parts with a sideways black diamond in the middle). As rarities increase, their are less cards of that rarity. **For more information about the individual rarities please see the Rarity page.**
