Unlock the Secrets of Disney Lorcana’s Archazia’s Island Starter Decks!

by

In conjunction with Disney Lorcana’s upcoming set, Archazia’s Island, a variety of new products are being introduced such as a Lilo and Stitch-themed gift box offering a special promotion, along with several dedicated set 7 boxes like the perpetually popular Illumineer’s Trove. With Archazia’s Island introducing a novel mechanic called Vanish, a new card tag labeled Illusion, and the first dual-Ink cards in the game, there is plenty of excitement brewing for set 7 within Lorcana. While some of the top cards in Archazia’s Island may still be undiscovered as players experiment with new decks, others are already stirring up discussions about the meta. However, Archazia’s Island is an excellent starting point for those interested in joining the game, outside of collecting.

Ravensburger provided Game Rant with the introductory packs for the latest addition to the board game Lorcana, Archazia’s Island. These decks include a unique set of new and reissued cards from different expansions, as well as showcasing the novel mechanics and dual-Ink cards that have been introduced. The starter decks for Set 7 are especially advantageous due to their color combinations, which were highly effective in Azurite Sea and are expected to remain strong when transitioning to Archazia’s Island.

Why Lorcana Fans Shouldn’t Sleep on Starter Decks in Archazia’s Island

The newly introduced starter packs showcase Ruby/Sapphire and Amethyst/Steel as their primary colors, offering an excellent foundation for those diving into the competitive aspect of Lorcana. The Ruby/Sapphire deck was the top pick in the Azure Sea set of Lorcana, consistently delivering impressive tournament outcomes. Meanwhile, Amethyst/Steel also performed well, particularly in aggressive or mid-range formats with support from cards such as Azurite Sea’s Genie and Gantu. The starter decks accompanying Archazia’s Island may not be immediately competitive, but they do include some strong cards that could potentially find a place in a formidable deck down the line.

Lorcana’s Sey 7 Ruby/Sapphire Deck Explained

As a cinephile delving into the captivating world of Lorcana, I’ve found that the Ruby/Sapphire deck offers an engaging addition in the form of Donald Duck – Focused Flatfoot. This character has proven its worth on the competitive battlefield, boasting a respectable statline for its 5-Ink cost, and at the same time, enhancing one’s Inkwell, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay.

The recent introduction of Beagle Boys – Small-Time Crooks, a dual-Ink card, has also piqued my interest. Being a 4-drop card, it addresses a gap that was frequently noticed in Ruby/Sapphire decks. Moreover, it harmonizes seamlessly with existing powerhouse cards such as Maui – Half-Shark, further enriching the gaming experience.

Similarly, the pack includes the latest character, Maurice, the Unorthodox Inventor, along with his creation, Maurice’s Machine. These two elements work well together. It’s noteworthy that this set is a wonderful starting point for the emphasis on Item cards in Ruby/Sapphire, a focus that is underscored by seven Legendary cards in Lorcana, such as Tamatoa and Scrooge McDuck. This assortment of cards, along with Belle, the Skilled Mechanic, and Beast, the Disgruntled Designer, forms a harmonious deck that caters to all fundamental aspects and even more for fans who enjoy this color combination and Lorcana in general.

Lorcana’s Set 7 Amethyst/Steel Deck Explained

In a contrasting fashion, there’s also the Amethyst/Steel deck boasting characters like Jafar – Newly Crowned and Iago – Giant Spectral Parrot. This deck is ideal for narrative play within Lorcana, as Archazia’s Island contributes to the ongoing storyline and prepares us for the next Lorcana set in 2025 titled Reign of Jafar. Furthermore, the Amethyst/Steel deck emphasizes the fresh archetype of Illusions and Vanish, making it an exciting entry point into the game.

The “Vanish” keyword in this game means that when a character carrying it gets targeted by an action, they disappear (or banished). At first glance, this might appear to be a disadvantage, but cards like the central figure Iago or Giant Cobra – Ghostly Serpent have impressive stats for their price, making them highly effective in controlling the game’s board. Furthermore, the deck incorporates Magical Maneuvers, which is an excellent tool for emphasizing Amethyst’s ability to send cards back to their owners’ hand. This aspect harmonizes well with “Vanish” cards since it doesn’t impact your actions but only affects those of your opponents. In summary, these decks offer a fantastic starting point for deckbuilding in Lorcana, and they even come with an Archazia’s Island booster pack to help you expand your card collection, making them an ideal choice for their price.
