How to build a Lorcana deck
Building a deck from scratch can be daunting at first, especially if you have an extensive collection of cards to choose from.
However, it can also be fun and exciting if you follow some basic steps and guidelines. Here are some tips on how to build a Disney Lorcana deck from scratch:
Consider the rules of deck building in Lorcana
Before you start building your deck, you should familiarize yourself with the rules of deck building in Disney Lorcana. These are the basic requirements and limitations that apply to every deck in the game:
- A deck must contain a minimum of 60 cards
- A deck is restricted to two colours
- You can have up to four copies of any unique card in your deck
Determine your deck’s win condition
The next step is to decide what kind of deck you want to build and identify your win condition. Your win condition is the goal or method of winning the game with your deck.
It defines the overall strategy and direction of your deck. There are many possible win conditions in Disney Lorcana, depending on the cards and combinations you use.
Choosing your starting colour
Once you have decided on your winning condition, you can choose your starting colour. Your starting colour is the primary colour of your deck, which supports your win condition the most.
It is usually the colour that has the most cards in your deck or the one that has the most important or powerful cards.
Selecting a secondary colour
After choosing your starting colour, you can select a secondary colour. Your secondary colour is the other colour of your deck, the one that complements your win condition and your starting colour.
It is usually the colour that has fewer cards in your deck or the one that has less important or powerful cards.
Building an ink curve
This is one of the essential steps in building a winning Lorcana deck. An ink curve is a graphical representation of the distribution of cards by their ink cost in your deck. It shows how many cards you have at each ink level (from 0 to 10) and how they are balanced throughout your deck.
You can use a spreadsheet or third-party websites to build an ink curve for your deck. You can enter the number of cards at each ink level in your deck and see how they form a curve on a graph. You can then adjust the number of cards at each ink level to improve your curve.
There is no definitive rule on how to shape your ink curve, as it depends on many factors, such as your win condition, colours, play style, and the meta. However, some general guidelines are:
- Have more low-cost cards (0 to 2 ink) than high-cost cards (7 to 10 ink) in your deck
- Have a moderate amount of mid-cost cards (3 to 6 ink) in your deck
- Have a few high-cost cards (7 to 10 ink) in your deck
- Have a balanced and smooth curve that gradually increases from low to high ink levels.
Here is an example of an ink curve for an Amber-Blue Stitch Rockstar deck:
You can see that this curve has more low-cost cards than high-cost cards, a moderate amount of mid-cost cards, and a few high-cost cards. It also has a balanced and smooth curve that gradually increases from low to high ink levels.
Finalize your deck
Finalizing your deck is the culmination of building a Disney Lorcana deck, as it will show the results of your hard work and creativity.
However, finalizing your deck does not mean you can no longer change it. You should always be open to making changes to your deck as you gain more insight into its performance, as well as new cards or updates in the game.
We hope this guide has helped you learn how to build a Disney Lorcana deck and that you have fun playing with it.
