Lorcana Sets in Order: Every Set and Its Chase Cards

Lorcana Sets in Order: Every Set and Its Chase Cards

Every Disney Lorcana set released so far, in order, is: The First Chapter, Rise of the Floodborn, Into the Inklands, Ursula's Return, Shimmering Skies, Azurite Sea, Archazia's Island, and Reign of Jafar. That's the full run as of right now, and Ravensburger has kept a pretty tight three-to-four-month cadence between drops since launch. If you're trying to get your head around lorcana sets in order for the first time, or you're a returning player who dropped off after Ursula's Return and needs to catch up, this is the rundown.

I've cracked boxes of every one of these since The First Chapter dropped in a Target near me back in 2023, and I've bought and sold enough singles to have opinions on which chase cards actually held value and which ones cooled off fast. I'll go set by set. For a running list that gets updated as new sets land, bookmark the full Lorcana sets list — I'll just be covering the highlights and the money cards here.

Disney Lorcana Sets in Order of Release

Quick reference before we get into details:

1. The First Chapter — September 2023 2. Rise of the Floodborn — November 2023 3. Into the Inklands — February 2024 4. Ursula's Return — May 2024 5. Shimmering Skies — August 2024 6. Azurite Sea — November 2024 7. Archazia's Island — February 2025 8. Reign of Jafar — May 2025

That's all lorcana sets in order right now. Notice the pattern — roughly every three months, sometimes stretching to four around the holidays. Ravensburger has been consistent about this since day one, which is honestly rare for a TCG this young. Magic took years to find its release rhythm. Lorcana basically walked in the door with one.

The First Chapter (September 2023)

This is the one that started it all, and it's still the set collectors talk about most. Print runs were a mess early on — stores got hammered with demand, singles were selling for stupid money on eBay within days of release, and the game's own popularity outran supply for a good six months.

The chase card here is Elsa - Spirit of Winter, an Enchanted rarity that became the poster child for how expensive a single Lorcana card could get. I've seen it trade for well over a thousand dollars raw, more for graded copies with a clean 10. There's also Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor in Enchanted, which a lot of people slept on at first because Mickey didn't feel like a "chase" character to non-collectors — turns out being the mascot matters.

Don't ignore the Super Rares either. Ariel - Spectacular Singer and Elsa - Snow Queen (yes, there's a Rise of the Floodborn version too, don't mix them up) both moved well even outside the top rarity tiers.

If you're hunting First Chapter cards on the secondary market now, it's worth checking any big purchase against a fake card checker first. TFC is the set counterfeiters target hardest simply because demand has stayed high for two years straight.

Rise of the Floodborn (November 2023)

Set two leaned into the "Floodborn" mechanic — classifications that let you shift characters into more powerful versions. It also gave us a second wave of chase cards that arguably outclass the first set's in terms of playability.

Elsa - Snow Queen is the headline Enchanted here, and honestly it might be the strongest chase card mechanically in the game's early history — a genuinely playable finisher, not just a shelf piece. Mickey Mouse - Detective in Enchanted is the other big one, and it's got that appeal where casual collectors want it just because it's Mickey in a trench coat.

This set is also where I started seeing serious price gaps open up between raw and graded copies. A raw Elsa - Snow Queen and a PSA 10 copy aren't in the same universe price-wise. If you're planning to grade anything from this set, run it through a centering tool first — Floodborn had some notably off-center print runs that tanked a lot of submissions.

Into the Inklands (February 2024)

Set three is where the game matured mechanically — it introduced Locations as a card type, which changed how a lot of decks get built. Collector-wise, it's remembered for one card above everything else.

Be Prepared, Scar's action card, isn't even a character and it became one of the most talked-about pulls of the set. The Enchanted version has traded for four figures depending on the week. Robin Hood - Unrivaled Archer also sits near the top of the set's chase list, and Super Rare Mother Gothel quietly became a strong seller too, mostly because Tangled fans are more numerous than people give them credit for.

Inklands is also the set where I noticed pull rates on Enchanteds feeling tighter than the first two sets. Whether that was actual print changes or just bad luck across the boxes I opened, I can't say for certain — but plenty of other collectors I talked to at the time said the same thing.

Ursula's Return (May 2024)

By set four, Ravensburger had settled into a groove, and this set is where villains really took center stage as chase material.

Ursula - Sea Witch Queen is the obvious headline Enchanted, and she's exactly the kind of card that appeals to both players and pure collectors — big, dramatic art, strong in-game presence, recognizable character. It's the combination that tends to hold value best across the whole game, not just this set.

This is also around the point where I'd tell newer players to actually learn the rarity structure before buying packs blind. Ursula's Return introduced enough variance in foil treatments and rarity tiers that people were confusing Super Rare foils for Enchanteds and overpaying on marketplaces. Know what you're looking at before you buy.

Shimmering Skies (August 2024)

The Lion King got its moment here, and set five leaned hard into that nostalgia. Simba - Returned King and Mufasa both became chase-level pulls, with Simba's Enchanted version being the one collectors talk about most from this set.

What stood out to me about Shimmering Skies wasn't just the chase cards — it's that the whole set felt more balanced in terms of what was actually good to play versus what just looked nice in a binder. A few Super Rares from this set, like some of the Rapunzel and Flynn Rider cards, held steadier value than you'd expect for a non-Enchanted rarity, mostly because they saw real tournament play.

Azurite Sea (November 2024)

Set six pushed further into ocean and adventure themes, and it's the set where I started seeing more even distribution of chase-card value across a few characters instead of one clear headline card dominating conversation.

That said, if I had to pick the one everyone was after, it'd be the Enchanted Peter Pan variant, plus a strong showing from Captain Hook cards across multiple rarities. Villains from Peter Pan hadn't gotten much love in earlier sets, so this felt overdue.

Azurite Sea also had a rockier print run in some regions — I heard more complaints about miscut and off-center cards from this set than any since Rise of the Floodborn. If you pulled something that looks borderline, it's worth running through a card grader tool before you decide whether submitting it to a grading company is worth the cost.

Archazia's Island (February 2025)

Set seven brought some deeper lore threads into focus and expanded on Locations again. This is a newer set, so market behavior on its chase cards is still settling — prices move around more in the first few months after release than they do a year later, and that's normal, not a red flag.

Early chase talk centered on a handful of Enchanted pulls tied to newer character reveals, and Super Rare Illumineer's Quest tie-ins got attention from the puzzle-solving crowd within the community, which is a smaller but dedicated slice of collectors.

If you're active in this set right now, keep an eye on current market prices rather than trusting whatever number you saw quoted a few weeks back. Prices can move quickly on newer sets especially, in both directions, as supply catches up with demand.

Reign of Jafar (May 2025)

The newest set as of this writing, and it does what you'd expect from the name — Jafar and Aladdin characters take the spotlight. Early chase card chatter has been dominated by an Enchanted Jafar card, which makes sense given how long fans had been asking for him to get a real villain-tier treatment in the game.

It's too early to call how this set settles long-term. Some sets have chase cards that spike hard right after release and cool off within a few months; others hold or climb slowly as the supply gets opened and singles d
