Magic Players Try to Play Lorcana 

deck lists are here: bit.ly/47NMsPj

It's so weird to see a control deck beating down the opponent's monsters and an aggro deck just tapping and passing

Seeing Toffel, as a Magic pro, apply his skills to another game system was so COOL! And what a great showcase of Lorcana, I would love to see more demos of other games and systems every so often

I honestly couldn't imagine anyone more apt to introduce this card game. Carl and Jamin are so wholesome together, meshes really well with this cardgame.

Taking the land mechanic from duel masters was probably the right chice for any new tcg. It not only fixes manaflood and screw, it also expands the decision space in what to play as land, and wat as itself.

it's very fun getting to see experience players get excited over simple things like good stats and keywords in this new game. this may have convinced me to give lorcana a try

Not a disney fan myself, but this game has neat mechanics. Character's being safe from challenges while ready makes it so that questing opens you up for challenges from your opponents, seems like a nice interaction. If there's a big board state. Basically you can go for the big score in a turn, but then your opponent may exile your board by challenging all of your characters...

I've been hearing about this game for a while, and I was curious about what it was like. Don't think I'll play it, but it was interesting to learn, so thank you!

I probably won't get into this game, but the mechanics look interesting and fun. You can tell the designers put a lot of thought into it. Thanks for introducing it!

Stuff like "Charming Rogue" and "Friendly Snowman" are not the card's types - that's their title and is part of the card name. The "types" on Flynn Rider, Charming Rogue are Storyborn, Hero, and Prince; and there are cards that care about those types such as the Moana from the starter deck who can ready all of your other Princess characters when she quests, or the Mickey from the same starter deck who makes Broom characters cost 1 less to play.

It was great to see you guys play this and explain it in MTG terms. Thank you!

26:25 "Makes sense for an archer" WOTC take notes, giving an archer reach makes sense

Lorcana looks like a way to get my non-nerdy friends into card games. Very intuitive and they will already be familiar with the characters

Been seeing so much content about Lorcana and nothing about how to functionally play the game! Well done on having a clear and concise way of describing your turns and plays!

The art and the characters are really nice, looking forward when it grows to be a full fledged card game. Currently the gameplay is quite dull, but i guess most card games were like that in their first sets.

I love games because I love seeing how sets of rules mesh together and create a cohesive experience. I read the rules for Lorcana as soon as I could and it's nice to see it playing out as fun as I expected. Mechanical rigorousness and technical execution are one thing on paper, but integrating game functions with smooth, rememberable human actions is one of the cool feats in Lorcana's design. For instance, I intend to "borrow" the idea of 'Ready, Set, Draw' the next time I teach someone Magic, as everyone knows 'Ready, Set, Go' and using (most of) that phrase eases the difficulty of getting a new player to understand that there are actions that need to be taken BEFORE drawing a card on their turn. Great job, designers.

I played this for the first time the other night. The other guys and myself laughed more playing this Then any other game I've played in the past. Two games in and I love Lorcana, can't express enough how much I think folks should try this game out if you get a chance.

I REALLY appreciate this video Such an accessible way to figure out if you want to pick up an entirely new game Very well made as always

This was awesome! I love the concept of explaining games from a magicplayers perspective. Helped me explaining this to my kids so much faster !

Honestly my favorite card game channel, i would love to see more about this game from yall

The mechanic of building up to 20 is basically the same as bringing an opponent down to 0 until you add more than 2 players. In Magic, more players means more total life that any given player needs to work through. In Lorcana, no matter how many players you add, any of them only needs to get to 20.

This was really fun! It's cool to see you applying your Magic knowledge to another game, and there were some pretty neat mechanics here. I'd love to see you explore this a little bit more.

I do like the color restriction. Land base in magic made running 3-5 easier than it should be.

This was the exact video I needed to figure out Lorcana. The others all started from scratch, relating it to Magic made sense to me.

been playing this game since the early release in mid-August, I've been really having a lot of fun with it and my Lilo and Stitch deck does WORK

This was both very entertaining and probably the best way to learn Lorcana I've seen so far.

Despite being an avid Disney fan, I wasn’t too keen on this game, but it definitely looks fun! I hope to see more Lorcana videos from y’all!

never seen this page before. this is legit one of the coolest and best tutorial videos i have seen; for any card game! great job!

I genuinely love the content you guys put out. Straight up makes my day thank you guys!

Thank you guys! Have been enjoying watching you play magic, and was interested in lorcanna, that was a super easy explanation for how the game works!

Thanks for this video! I’m a longtime MtG player, planning on trying Lorcana tomorrow along with a non-MtG-playing friend who loves Disney. This was a very nice primer on what to expect from gameplay

I can't believe that Toffel plays Tron even in a totaly different game.

YESSSSSSS I’d love watching more lorcana videos from you guys keep ‘em comin!

I still think it's just Magic with wonky flavor, but I couldn't help loving that it has a distinct callout of Ready, Set, Draw. It's like Beyblade.

Because questing has to happen before a challenge (or another challenge but lets be real you're questing), you then are forced to tap your creature to attack their creature... but they tapped and got permanent benefit and all you did was deal with their creature... putting you behind. Aggro, as a result, is just a much stronger strategy as is. You get much more tempo.

I started playing at gencon and can't get enough, thanks for playing and providing us with some high level content! I would love to see more matchups with everyone perhaps from some top placing decks in some tournements?

I like how there is a difference between combat ability and "lore" ability, like if a creature in magic has when attacks or blocks get +x/+x on every card

Exited to try this as a Disney and magic fan. Great video! It made it very simple to understand how the game works (at least for a magic player) and showcased a lot of cool cards to start thinking about as a new player.

the way toffel sets his mana my brain went yu gi oh mode and I was like "this man's backrow is scary"

Best and most fun Lorcana video I’ve seen so far (this is only the second one I’ve watched)

This was a fantastic video as a Magic player looking at Lorcana to get my kids into cards games how it transfers over. I'll be getting some cards for sure and teaching them how to play and delving into Lorcana! Thanks for the highly entertaining video.

The playing cards as ink (mana) actually really reminds me of Duel Masters, it's another card game published by WotC, it has five colors of mana just like MTG, I don't think they print it anymore (at least not in english, don't quote me on that though), I played the PS2 game of it a lot with my brother. The mana types in Duel Masters are Light, Water, Darkness, Fire and Nature, which reflects WUBRG from MTG near perfectly, Duel Master actually has a manga and while I haven't read it the plot of it is apperently lossely based on MTG lore.

Damn, I might have to try this game out! I had no intention to, but seeing y’all play it makes it look very fun and interesting

Your content it's actually the best of the trading card games multiverse.

I see the dice budget for Lorcana isn't quiet on the level of the Magic dice budget 😂

It’s exciting to see new games get released, and seeing the vast amount of potential they have

I LOVE this! Please, make more of Lorcana!

I played in the release event and it was a lot of fun! It feels like an interesting mix of Magic, Hearthstone, and Pokemon TCGs. Also bodyguard feels like a super powerful ability (works like taunt in HS), being able to build a board of creatures that can tap for big lore, and then drop a huge bodyguard to protect them was the strategy of most of the top decks in the event I played in. If you didn't have some targeted removal you were in for a rough time.

would love to see more of you all playing lorcana, even if i might not play it myself. awesome how you explain it in mtg terms, feels like 90s magic even more than pokemon does.

More of this please! New game good to start playing! Plus great profit with time!

Ich spiele seit ein paar Tagen mit meiner Frau, für Magic konnte ich sie nie begeistern aber mit Lorcana haben wir echt viel Freude. Kann es nur empfehlen.

Honestly cheered out loud for toralf entering at the halfway mark. The vibes continue 😘👌

The more card games the better. Love competition.

This was fun. Was curious how the game works and seeing the cardmarket boys demonstrating it was a real treat. Love the regular mtg stuff but this type of thing every now and again is much appreciated!

really cool to learn all the magic cards that lorcana copies!! also as an aggro lorcana player i recognize both the winning game and the losing game, overthinking some choice and not questing. when i hesitate i am lost.

Really enjoyed this. Bought my first 2 decks tonight.

I've been playing the game for a couple of weeks now and have been really enjoying it so it's really cool to see you guys play it, especially when there hasn't been much paper Lorcana content yet. If you guys like the game, seeing some more content of it would be cool and I really enjoyed the background music that was going on in the video.

I love you guys. What a bright spark of joy. Next time, I think you guys should cosplay as a Disney character in your decks.

So a key but overlooked rule in this game, that I dont think you touch on but can be crucial to strategy, is that when you exile to your inkwell, you do have to prove it can be placed there, however, that "zone" is no longer public knowledge. To the extent where YOU as the owner cannot even reference it. This is doubly important when a card tells you to place the top card into your inkwell. You cannt look at it , it goes and you never know. The reason this is important is, if you forget what you place in yer inkwell, and you have random cards from the top of yer library placed there as well, you cannot refrence it to see waht you may have left in your deck. There hasnt been a ruling as to "note taking" (ie writing down what goes there) but i would imagine that it would not be allowed, as otherwise you might as well be able to look at the zone.

10:05. thanks for showing the card. wish you would have done that for the other parts of the video. this video is fantastic!! i played magic back in 4th edition, you took me back there 😢

The mechanics seem well-designed. Thanks for showing off Lorcana!

I love this kind of video, moreover Lorcana seems a really fun and entertaining TCG, I would love to see more contents about it!

You explained the rules so well, i would like to see a flesh and blood version of this video

I actually would love to see more gameplay of Lorcana on this channel! :)

I think it would be fun video to do a rule adaptation both for Lorcana and Magic to see a match between them, similar to the Yugi-oh video :)

Thanks for this! Very entertaining.

I'm down to watch more of this, I want to see tom Top Tier decks you guys can make. The drawing cards can seem to get kinda crazy here. Its clear there is some power unbalance but seems easy to play and quick games overall.

The base mechanic of 'gaining 20 points to win' gives me combo/solitaire vibes, hope they add more interaction in time. But the cards look cool and I like the name on flavor text. 3rd stat on creatures opens up more design space.

This game is mega fun. Loved playing it at my LGS's Launch event

I've been interested in Lorcana for a bit and even had a whole conversation with someone about it yesterday. The timing of this is perfect. Lol, it definitely could use some further development, but it looks fun and with Disney backing it up... they can definitely afford to push the game further.

Thanks guys for this one, lovely decks and Plays.

This video was planned well to progressively show the rules of the game. I have no interest in the game but it was a great way to learn the rules and how lorcana works.

First time watching a video from you guys. Great intro gameplay! From a recently new Magic player, this looks like a great Disney alternative lol

Lorcana is such a fun game to play. I can't wait to see where they go with the next sets.

that was truly entertaining, seriouslu considering getting into it.

Game has lots of potential and I can't wait to try it out. It will be cool to see what they do in the next couple sets.

I'm a magic player my self. I teased my sons mom about wanted to play lorcana instead of magic and it made her buy the 3 starter decks from the first set. I ended up playing 3 games so far, with her, and I realized that it's actually kinda fun and will be great to get my kids into so I can teach them to play magic as they grow. Only thing is...I don't really know Like any of the songs except "let it go" because my daughters love "Frozen"

the concepts of "haste" and "flying" being flipped into evasive being a good way to gain lore and rush being a good way to stop your opponent from gaining lore is a wacky way to start thinking of this in ways beyond the structures of magic

Looks fun, I'll have to see if my game store has any events upcoming

I enjoyed the structure of this video because of how closely it mimics just how new players 'learn' to play the game. (Additionally I appreciated how you related things to MTG mechanics). Can you guys do this with One Piece, Flesh and Blood, Yugioh, Pokémon TCG (et cetera)? I really liked your presentation of this as a 'trial by fire' instead of the 'tutorial' aspect in your Flesh and Blood and Pokémon video.

I’d love to see the team revisit Lorcana after the new set! It’s a pretty neat game

very interesting! I find the concept of "colours" (stones?) in this game a little bit vague but some of the gameplay elements are appealing

The game didnt seem very interesting to me at first, but seeing you play it made it seem a lot more fun! would love to see a video on it every now and then, maybe a weekly or biweekly format where you play against eachother trying to build the best deck, and the last place gets to pick their colours for the next week? and the others have to pick between the remainin colours, to make sure the decks are always different? :P

Great video! I've built an Amber/Emerald deck that's more aggressive than that one. It's great as long as your opponent isn't playing Steel xD Glad you are supplying singles. Here in the UK it was rough until now for singles.

Being able to directly attack characters was one of the things I always loved about Shadowfist (where it made sense, being about HK action films) and Vampire (assuming rush cards). Nothing is more frustrating than seeing critical creatures drop on someone's board and know they are invulnerable until you can find removal, despite your slavering horde of monstrosities just itching to go and beat head. I like the additional strategy that comes with knowing your characters aren't safe as long as there are others around. I also like in this game that they are only at risk when they are out doing things. Apart from being flavourful (it is out in the world where threats arise), it does add another layer of tactics and board knowledge. It also explains the lack of instant speed in the game. If you could just exert all your characters in the end step of your opponents turn, they would never be able to challenge. It does suggest the Vampire issue for combat decks though - how do you win with a challenge deck. If all your characters keep rushing your opponent and everything dies, no one is getting lore. Without seeing other cards it is hard to comment, but it does suggest a risk of dead tables and draws.

I love my lands deck in MTG, but this ink system seems so much better for competitive and fluent play in my opinion, basically just terminated mana floods/screws. On the other hand, designing a mana base is a cool challenge for deck building.

I’d love to see either more Lorcana or maybe even some FaB

This will be a great starter point for people to learn TCGs.

Thank you for doing a video on this, been interested to see how it works. Ta.

This was really interesting. Curious to see what develops

Pretty excited for Lorcana....very unexpected actually.

And now we wait for carl to build a Lorcana deck that can win in Magic. Great showcase guys :)

YES! ive been hoping for things like this for a while now lol

This look actually really cool. I would totally play an online version of this one (I prefer online over in person, just due to where I am lol)

ngl this was a nice change of pace and v nice to see the disney characters! I'm somewat tempted to try it out even

I love how Carl’s French comes out every time he says Dr. Facilier!

The land/ink mechanic of playing your cards facedown is genius! I imagine getting manascrewed won't happen very often

I wanna play lorcana with all 3 of you! 😃 It Looks Like a Lot of fun! 😃

keep droping amazing videos at this rate and you will reach 200k in no time

I don't watch disney, but their mechanics are very interesting. I hope I could see more!
