Lorcana's Coconut Format: Rules, Coconut Cards and Deckbuilding

At a glance

Coconut changes how you build a deck and how long a game runs, and leaves the rest of Lorcana alone. Every row below comes from Ravensburger's beta rules unless it says otherwise.

Deck rules

A Coconut deck starts with the Coconut. You choose one in the Disney Lorcana companion app, and each one is tied to a specific Lorcana character card. Ravensburger's beta rules then give four steps:

Ravensburger's own example: choose the Sapphire Coconut Moana - Curious Explorer, and your deck must include Sapphire cards, can add up to two other inks, and can run up to 4 copies of the Moana - Curious Explorer character card, but only 1 of anything else.

Moana - "Curious Explorer"

Format Coconut #7

The Moana - Curious Explorer Coconut, from Ravensburger's example.

Moana - Curious Explorer

Winterspell #155

Moana - Curious Explorer, the character card that Coconut lets you run 4 of.

The third ink is the biggest change from Core Constructed and Infinity, where a deck can use no more than two. The beta rules don't say how the matching-ink rule works for the two-ink Coconuts added after them, so check the app or Ravensburger's Discord before building around one.

Playing a game

Coconut uses the normal multiplayer Lorcana rules with one change: the first player to 25 lore or more wins, instead of 20. Ravensburger recommends three or four players and is asking for feedback on larger games.

The multiplayer rules are section 9 of the Comprehensive Rules, and they add little to a two-player game:

Everything else, from the inkwell to questing and challenging, works as it does in a two-player game. The two-player rules Coconut builds on →

The Coconut cards

Ravensburger's beta card list of July 22, 2026 has 18 Coconuts, three for each ink. As of October 10, 2026, Lorcast lists 24: those 18 plus six that pair two characters and two inks, each built on an Attack of the Vine! card. Each Coconut has the same name as the character card it unlocks, and its abilities are its own.

A few show how different the plans can be:

Ariel - "Spectacular Singer"

Format Coconut #1

Ariel - Spectacular Singer: whenever a Princess of yours sings a song, gain lore equal to her lore.

Robin Hood - "Sneaky Sleuth"

Format Coconut #5

Robin Hood - Sneaky Sleuth: once per game, 1 damage to each opposing character.

Mickey Mouse - "Brave Little Tailor"

Format Coconut #13

Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor: your Mickey Mouse character cards gain Shift 2.

Woody & Buzz Lightyear - "Best Buddies"

Format Coconut #19

Woody & Buzz Lightyear - Best Buddies: once a turn, your next Toy costs 1 less, and draws a card with Woody and Buzz in play.

The character card is the one card your deck can play four of, so it is the most consistent piece of the plan. Woody & Buzz Lightyear - Best Buddies, for example, is the Legendary from Attack of the Vine!, and its Coconut rewards a deck full of Toy characters.

Building a Coconut deck

Start from what the Coconut rewards and count the cards that do it. A singleton deck of 60 can't rely on any one card except the Coconut's character, so the deck needs many different cards that do the same job: for Ariel - Spectacular Singer, Princess characters and songs they can sing; for Mickey Mouse - Brave Little Tailor, as many different Mickey Mouse characters as you can find.

Use the third ink for what your Coconut's ink lacks. Each ink has its strengths, such as Steel's removal or Sapphire's ramp, and three inks let a singleton deck cover more of them.

Older cards are fair game. The beta rules name no set limit, so cards rotated out of Core Constructed, like the first-set Ariel - Spectacular Singer, can be played. Ravensburger may add restrictions before the format launches, so this can change. How to build a Lorcana deck →

Coconut vs. Magic's Commander

Coconut is the nearest thing Lorcana has to Commander, Magic's most popular multiplayer format, and players who know one will recognize the other. Both are multiplayer, both are singleton, and both build a deck around one chosen character. The details differ:

The biggest difference is how a game ends. A Commander game is about knocking players out, while Coconut is still a race for lore, so you win by questing faster than three other players rather than by outlasting them. The full Commander rules →

Beta status and where to play

Coconut is in open beta, not officially launched, and Ravensburger is collecting feedback through a survey for US residents, its Discord and its weekly Lorecast streams. It tested the format in China and at Disney Lorcana Challenge Indianapolis before the beta, and announced Coconut tables at Gen Con and gamescom for summer 2026.

Because it is a beta, the rules, the copy limits and the Coconut list can all change. As of October 10, 2026, Ravensburger hasn't announced Coconut tournaments, a launch date or physical Coconut cards, so most games happen at kitchen tables and store casual nights. Ask your local store before bringing a Coconut deck to an event.

Coconut on TurnZero HQ

TurnZero HQ doesn't have a Coconut mode yet. Its Lorcana game tracker ends a game at 20 lore, and the Deck Lab checks Lorcana decks against Core Constructed and Infinity, so it doesn't know Coconut's singleton rule or third ink.

What it does help with is the collection a Coconut deck draws on. A singleton deck uses many different cards across many sets, and TurnZero HQ tracks your Lorcana cards by set and collector number, so you can see which Princesses or Toys you already own before you build. The Coconut cards themselves are in the catalog too, each on its own card page. How the Lorcana collection tracker works →
