An untamed Vine spreads throughout Lorcana, transforming familiar Glimmers into dangerous, plant-based copies. Discover everything about the story, new cards, mechanics, products, and release dates of Disney Lorcana: Attack of the Vine!
Disney Lorcana: Attack of the Vine! is the thirteenth card set for Disney Lorcana TCG. In this expansion, the realm faces a growing threat: a mysterious Vine that captures Glimmers and creates plant-based copies of familiar Disney and Pixar characters.
The expansion not only brings new cards and illustrations but also introduces Team characters, Vinelings, and several new variations of the well-known Shift mechanic. Additionally, beloved characters from Monsters, Inc., Turning Red, and Up make their appearance.
In this complete guide, you'll read what makes Attack of the Vine! special, which products will be released, and which choice best suits you as a player, collector, or Disney fan.
🌿 What is Disney Lorcana: Attack of the Vine!?
Attack of the Vine! is an expansion for Disney Lorcana TCG in which a rapidly growing, thorny Vine poses a threat to the entire realm of Lorcana. The plant spreads further and further, capturing Glimmers and creating green, plant-based copies of familiar characters.
The thirteenth set builds upon previous events within the Lorcana story. Players receive new cards with which they can strengthen existing decks, develop new strategies, and build thematic combinations around Team characters, Vinelings, and Shift.
For collectors, the expansion offers new Disney and Pixar illustrations, special alternative card treatments, and new characters to collect. This makes the set appeal to both active players and lovers of Disney artwork.
The regular webshop products from The Great Illuminary will be released starting July 24, 2026. Some additional products, including the 2-Player Starter Set and Illumineer’s Quest, have a later release date.
📖 The Story Behind Attack of the Vine!
The realm of Lorcana is threatened by an invasive Vine that continues to grow. The plant uses the magical ink in the realm to strengthen itself and spread further. As the threat grows, more and more dangerous offshoots and plant-based monsters emerge.
The Vine is not limited to overgrowing locations. It also captures Glimmers and creates new, leafy copies of these characters. These copies have only one goal: to protect the Vine and ensure its growth is not stopped.
Heroes who normally act separately must therefore work together. Even characters who are not naturally on the same side can have a common interest when the entire realm is threatened.
This theme of collaboration is clearly reflected on the cards. Various characters appear together on a single Team card, while new Shift variants encourage players to include specific character combinations in their deck.
The combination of Team characters, shared names, and new Shift possibilities ensures that the story is not only visible in the illustrations but also truly influences the way decks are built and played.
🍃 What are Vinelings in Disney Lorcana?
Vineling Glimmers are plant-based copies of familiar characters. They are created by the Vine after original Glimmers were captured or copied.
Familiar Disney characters can therefore return in a completely new form. Their appearance aligns with the green, overgrown theme of the set and shows how the Vine is increasingly influencing the realm.
Among others, Ursula, Gaston, and Pete appear as Glimmers created by the Vine. While these characters could be both heroic and evil before their transformation, the Vineling versions act entirely in the interest of their new host.
Several Vineling cards gain extra abilities when used in conjunction with Floodborn Glimmers. This can make existing Floodborn cards interesting again and creates new connections between older cards and the newest set.
Recognizable Characters
Vinelings are based on existing Glimmers but take on a striking plant-based form that directly relates to the story of Attack of the Vine!
New Combinations
Some of the Vinelings work together with Floodborn Glimmers, allowing for new deck strategies and interactions.
🎬 New Disney and Pixar Characters
Attack of the Vine! further expands the world of Disney Lorcana with new Glimmers from various well-known Disney and Pixar films. Especially the continued addition of Pixar characters is an important part of this set.
Monsters, Inc.
Characters from Monsters, Inc. play a prominent role. Among others, Sulley and Boo appear together as a Team character. The combination of monsters, scares, and friendship fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the set.
Turning Red
Turning Red brings Meilin Lee and her unique transformation to Disney Lorcana. Her changing appearance forms a fitting basis for a new Shift variant.
Up
Beloved characters from Up are also part of the expansion. The adventurous collaboration between the main characters aligns with the broader teamwork theme.
Disney Favorites
Besides Pixar, the set includes familiar Disney characters and new combinations, including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Lilo and Stitch, Belle and the Beast, and friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.
🤝 Team Characters Explained
In Attack of the Vine!, several cards feature two characters depicted together. These cards receive the classification Team.
A Team card is still a single character during gameplay. However, for card effects, the card can have multiple names. For example, a card with Sulley and Boo counts as a Sulley card, a Boo card, AND a combined Sulley & Boo card.
This distinction is important when other cards refer to a specific character name. An effect that applies to Sulley can therefore also apply to a Team character where Sulley appears together with another character.
Team characters not only provide thematic illustrations. The dual names also form the basis for new Shift variants, where multiple characters can be used together to play a more powerful card.
A Team character remains a single character on the battlefield, even when the card counts as multiple character names for certain effects.
✨ New Shift Variants in Attack of the Vine!
Shift is a well-known mechanic within Disney Lorcana. Normally, you can play a more powerful version of a character for a lower cost on top of an existing version of the same character.
Attack of the Vine! expands this system with four new variants. These mechanics align with the teamwork theme and provide new choices during deck building and gameplay.
Duo Shift
With Duo Shift, a Team character can be played on top of two separate, specifically named characters. For example, for a combined Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse character, you need both a Mickey and a Minnie.
Combo Shift
Combo Shift offers more flexibility. The Team character can be played on top of one of the named characters, but in certain situations, also on top of both characters simultaneously.
Temporary Shift
Temporary Shift is designed for a temporary transformation. The top character does not stay permanently and can return to the player's hand at the end of the turn.
Potato Shift
Potato Shift is a playful variant where a character can be played on top of an item named Potato. It's a striking example of the creative way Lorcana continues to expand existing mechanics.
A powerful Shift card is especially valuable when you include enough suitable base characters in your deck. Therefore, don't just check the cost and abilities of the Shift card, but also how reliably you can draw the necessary characters.
💎 Enchanted and Iconic Cards
Collectors can once again search for exceptionally rare card treatments in Booster Packs of Attack of the Vine!
Enchanted Cards
The Enchanted cards of Attack of the Vine! feature a dynamic illustration style reminiscent of classic movie posters from the 1950s to 1970s. This gives the cards a striking, cinematic look that clearly differentiates them from the regular versions.
Enchanted cards are among the most sought-after cards in a Disney Lorcana set. They are popular due to the combination of rarity, alternative artwork, and high-quality finish.
Iconic Cards
The very rare Iconic rarity is also present. The chosen characters and illustrations align with the central theme of collaboration and friendship.
These cards are particularly interesting for collectors who want to collect special editions, favorite characters, or a complete master set.
The contents of Booster Packs are random. A Booster Display, case, or Illumineer’s Trove does not guarantee a specific card, rarity, Enchanted card, or Iconic card.
