This list is based on the average market price shown onTCGPlayer.
10Gramma Tala, Spirit Of The Ocean (Enchanted) - $46.84
Set Three, Into The Inklands
Gramma Tala is well known to lovers of the blue suite of cards. Gramma Tala, Storyteller, was one of her first cards introducing her to Lorcana, and it is still used and has remained a tried-and-true addition to many decks.
In fact, that’s one of the best cards to have alongside her Spirit of the Ocean variation as Storyteller is a low-cost card to have as a shift option. And the sooner you can get Gramma Tala, Spirit of the Ocean into the game, the better, as her ability will only help bolster you and your plays by granting you more ink to use.
A character with shift means that they can be brought into the game early if they are “shifted” or played on top of a card of the same name, unless a card says otherwise.
9King Candy, Sweet Abomination (Enchanted) - $63.54
Set Five, Shimmering Skies
Well, isn’t this a sweet treat? King Candy has all of his monstrous traits on display in his enchanted artwork, the version of him that is only seen at the end of Wreck-It Ralph. He is another shift card that looks to get brought into the game early, however his ability is useful even if you miss the opportunity to get him in on turn three.
That said, his value will diminish in-game as his strength and willpower of three can be dealt with by your opponents easier when it’s turn five. But the two drawn cards can still help you get anything into your hand that you need to finish off the match with a win.
8Sisu, Divine Water Dragon (Enchanted) - $66.28
Set Two, Rise Of The Floodborn
It’s rarer to have a Storyborn character as heavily valued monetarily as some of the enchanted Floodborn characters, like Gramma Tala and King Candy. But Sisu finds a way, as one popular chaotician might say. That should speak to her value on the board.
Anytime you quest with Sisu, you may look at the top two cards of your deck. You can then place one in your hand and one at the bottom of your deck. That means she can grant you card draw on every turn she’s in play. Match her up with some protection from a Bodyguard orhelp her with Ward, and you can control the tide of the game.
7The Queen, Diviner (Enchanted) - $74.05
Set Four, Ursula’s Return
Set four of Disney’s Lorcana saw the rise of some of the most popular villains. Beside the sea witch herself, there is the OG Disney witch, The Queen. Her Diviner variant is a strong option when you are running a deck that intends to use lots of items, which tends to happen a lot in a Sapphire deck.
She lets you look through the top four cards of your deck for items. If you find one, depending on its ink cost, you can move it to your hand or to the battlefield immediately. And, even with that ability, her cost of three matching her strength and willpower means that she’s a solid card all around.
6Scrooge McDuck, Richest Duck In The World (Enchanted) - $83.43
This duck might be pretty gwarsh darn offended if they saw that they were selling for less than $100, but sellers and collectors of Lorcana cards would probably say that’s a pretty fair price. Just don’t let Scrooge McDuck hear anyone say it.
In play, he needs some key things to go his way. He gainsEvasive during his turn, which is great for allowing him to attack and banish those other pesky and Evasive characters. However, his value can be impacted if your opponent doesn’t have or rely on Evasive as their way of making it through the game unscathed.
5Anna, True-Hearted (Enchanted) - $95.70
Anna’s Floodborn appearance shows her off as a knight.The enchanted artworkshows her rushing ahead, unphased by whatever is in front of her, matching her fierce personality in the Frozen movies.And, just as she is identified as a hero on this card, she works well with all of the heroes in Lorcana.
How so? When Anna quests, all of the other heroes you have on the board can quest for one additional lore that turn. So, if you’re looking to build a themed deck that revolves around the heroes of the Disney worlds and properties, Anna would be an essential part of making it even stronger.
4Alice, Growing Girl (Enchanted) - $142.45
Oh, poor Alice can’t seem to catch a break in her movie or in the game of Lorcana. This enchanted card art showcases Alice stuck with her head and appendages forced through the windows of a home she can’t get out of. But the card refers to Alice growing in strength, not just in size.
Simply put, the more strength you can grant Alice throughSupport and other cards and effectsin the game, the better she gets. Once she has ten or more strength, she can quest for five lore instead of her standard one lore. So, if you like the Support mechanic of the game, then you need this Alice on your side.
3Aurora, Dreaming Guardian (Enchanted) - $170.61
Set One, The First Chapter
This is maybe one of the most gorgeous cards in all of Lorcana, which might be one of the reasons why, after so many other sets have launched and enchanted cards have been released, Aurora still has a solid footing when comparing card values.
The other is her Protective Embrace ability, which grants all of the characters on your side of the field Ward. This can help you protect other cards that have abilities that remain active that your opponents will want to shut down as quickly as possible.
2Belle, Strange But Special (Enchanted) - $229.29
Another princess andanother First Chapter characterthat hasn’t fallen out of contention when it comes to value is Belle. That is, while she may be a princess, she is the queen of ramp in Lorcana. The sooner you can get ten ink into your inkwell, the sooner you can win the game.
Ramp refers to how quickly you can fill up your inkwell, allowing you to play higher-cost characters and being able to play more cards.
That’s all thanks to, well, both of her abilities, but the game-winning one is My Favorite Part! This will allow her to quest for five lore instead of one. However, Read A Book helps get you to that part of the game as it allows you to put an extra card into your inkwell each turn.
1Mufasa, Ruler Of Pride Rock (Enchanted) - $267.28
Move over princesses, there’s a King in the castle. That castle is Pride Rock and home to Mufasa, who rules over his lands justly. And fiercely. This is a late-game card as he costs eight ink to play. That works perfectly with his abilities.
When you first play Mufasa, you will lose some of the cards in your inkwell, which gives you a little less action economy for a turn. But only while he dries. After that, whenever you quest with him, you can ready any exerted cards in your inkwell. That means if you quest with him after using up all the ink you can, you get to use it all up again by summoning more characters or using items, actions, and songs.
