Exclusive: Six vibrant new Disney Lorcana Shimmering Skies cards

Six new cards for you to play with from the Wreck-It Ralph franchise.

Disney Lorcana is a TCG with some fabulous cards. It brings the Disney movies and franchises so many of us grew up with to life in a whole new, tangible way. While the game got off to a rocky start with some fans when it came to playability, it’s getting better with each set, the latest of which will be Shimmering Skies.

The new set will be released on August 9, 2024, and it’s the first time certain Disney names make their TCG debut. The set should mix up the established meta players are accustomed to and give players something to swap into their decks or build new ones around. In particular, players ā€” that includes myself ā€” are excited about the addition of Wreck-It Ralph, which is why I agreed right away when Ravensburger reached out to see if we’d like to reveal six new cards from the upcoming set exclusively.

Six exclusive new Disney Lorcana: Shimmering Skies cards

I’ve outlined every new and sometimes tasty Disney Lorcana: Shimmering Skies card we’re able to reveal below. Just as with Magic: The Gathering sets, new cards can completely change the game, but they also might not be used until another card comes along to make them more powerful. Read through what’s on offer below to see if you can find a card that will be in every deck you play.

Fix-It Felix, Jr. (Trusy Builder) – Storyborn

Fix-It Felix, Jr. is a 2/4 Storyborn Hero with Bodyguard. This means he’s going to have to be picked as the target if your opponent wants to challenge one of your characters. He’s fairly strong compared to some characters. Baloo, for example, is a 0/3 ā€” not a bad card to play if you want some protection.

Fix-It Felix, Jr. – Floodborn

If you want to play Fix-It Felix, Jr. but not as a Storyborn Hero, you can opt to use this Floodborn variant. As with all Floodborn characters, he’s got Shift, so you can pay less to play him on top of your Storyborn or another version of Fix-It Felix, Jr. This is a great way to evolve your board, especially because the Floodborn version adds two armor to your locations. I can see the duo of this card and the one above it being played a lot because it’s quite advantageous.

Fix-It Felix, Jr. (Delighted Sightseer) – Storyborn

This Delighted Sightseer version of Fix-It Felix, Jr. is the last version of him I have to show off. It’s not massively strong at 1/3, but its ability allows you to draw a card if you play it while you have a location. Combined with the Floodborn version, this could see you top up your hand and get things moving in a game much faster than normal.

Wreck-It Ralph – Storyborn

Wreck-It Ralph is a very strong 6/7 Stroyborn hero. His ability, I’ve Got The Coolest Friend, lets you return a character card from your discard to your hand when you play him. If that card is a Princess character, Vannelope for example, you gain 2 lore. Not only is this ability very appropriate for Ralph, but it’s also a great way to pull cards back from your discard and replay them. This strategy definitely needs some other cards in it to help bolster your board, but I can already see the makings of an interesting loop here.

Sugar Rush Speedway – Location

Sugar Rush Speedway might just be Disney Lorcana‘s tastiest location to date. Once played, you can move characters to another location for free by dealing a single point of damage to them. In a pitch, I can see that being extremely useful against opponents aiming to wipe out your locations one by one systematically.

King Candy – Storyborn Villain

King Candy is a delectable 2/2 Storyborn Villain, King, and Racer. This brings him in line with all the other Racer cards in Shimmering Skies, and while he has no ability, this is a card you might want in your deck if you want to build something villainous.

King Candy – Floodborn Villain

I love this Floodborn version of King Candy. It’s a strong 3/3 Villain, King, and Racer with Shift, so you can play the Storyborn version and then pay less to play this monster onto the field. Its ability, Changing the Code, allows you to draw 2 cards and then put a card from your hand on the bottom of your deck when you play it. This feels sneakier than it should, but ultimately, it’s going to let you pick up 2 new cards and get rid of one you don’t need without it going out of play.
