Man, I am absolutely stoked about the latest news from Disney Lorcana! As a hardcore card game enthusiast, hearing about the Fabled expansion dropping in September has got me buzzing like a kid in a candy store. It's June 2025 now, and we're just a few months away from the prerelease on August 29, followed by the full launch on September 5. Ravensburger is shaking things up big time by introducing two brand-new rarities: Epic and Iconic. This is gonna push the total rarities to a whopping seven levels, and honestly, I think it's a game-changer for how we collect and play. The thrill of hunting for these ultra-rare cards? It's like hitting the jackpot every time you crack open a pack! 🎉

First off, let's talk about the Epic rarity. Holy cow, this one sits right between Legendary and Enchanted rares, and the 'open-air' borderless art is simply mind-blowing. Imagine the existing card art—like that classic Elsa, Snow Queen from The First Chapter—but expanded to fill the whole card with no borders. It's like giving the artwork room to breathe! Plus, they've added rainbow foiling and a spot-gloss treatment similar to Legendary cards. Here's a quick rundown of what makes Epic special:

  • Art Style: Borderless and expansive, using existing art but way more immersive.

  • Foiling: Rainbow effects that shimmer in the light—total eye candy! 😍

  • Reprints: Yep, older cards like Elsa are getting this treatment in Fabled, which is awesome for collectors like me who missed out on earlier sets.

Now, hold onto your hats because Iconic rarity is where things get next-level rare. It's rarer than Enchanted, folks—like finding a unicorn in your backyard! Iconic cards feature all-new art and a glittering foil treatment with lore symbols and 3D hot stamp effects. I mean, wow! That's some serious bling. So far, only two cards have been confirmed: Mickey Mouse, Brave Little Prince, and a mystery Minnie Mouse card. We've seen Mickey's art as the key art for Fabled, and it's 🔥. But the pull rates? Ravensburger hasn't spilled the beans on that yet—typical, right? They're slotting into booster packs alongside foils and Enchanted rares, so every pack could be a surprise. lorcana-fabled-new-rarities-image-0 This art treatment is so dazzling, it deserves a pic spot!

Speaking of booster packs, this expansion might finally address a big gripe I've had with Lorcana. Lately, most cards feel like duds—not worth the pack cost, and only a few rares see play outside limited formats. On the secondary market, only Enchanted rares really shine. But adding Epic and Iconic? It's like injecting fresh excitement into the hunt. For instance, here's a table comparing the rarities now:

Rarity Level Description Example Cards
Common Basic cards, easy to find Most starter deck cards
Uncommon Slightly rarer Support characters
Rare Harder pulls Key gameplay cards
Super Rare Even scarcer Powerful allies
Legendary High-tier with gloss Elites like Maleficent
Epic Borderless art, rainbow foil Elsa reprint in Fabled
Iconic New art, 3D effects Mickey, Brave Little Prince

This diversity could make buying boosters worthwhile again, instead of just chasing singles. I'm thrilled, but also a bit skeptical—will the pull rates be fair? Who knows? Either way, the prerelease in August is gonna be lit. I'm already saving up my cash and planning my strategy. The thought of snagging an Iconic Mickey? It gives me goosebumps! ❤️

All in all, Fabled feels like a breath of fresh air for us players. The new art treatments are chef's kiss, and I'm betting they'll spice up the meta big time. But hey, I gotta ask: what's your take on these additions? Will you be grinding for those Iconic pulls or sticking to the old ways?
