Disney Lorcana
A Disney Lorcana deck is at least 60 cards, up to 4 copies of each card, in no more than two inks. Here are the rules for Core Constructed and Infinity, a build process that works for a first deck, and how the TurnZero HQ deck builder checks the result.
Every Lorcana deck follows three construction rules, in both Core Constructed and Infinity. The TurnZero HQ Deck Lab checks all three.
Cards come in four types: characters, actions (songs are a kind of action), items and locations. Characters are the cards that quest for lore and challenge, so most decks are built around them. If a card's layout is new to you, how to read a Lorcana card covers ink, cost, lore and the inkwell symbol.
Both formats use the same deck rules. They differ in which sets your cards can come from.
The Core list changes over time. Set 14, Hyperia City, releases on October 23, 2026 and joins the Core pool, and rotation removes older sets once a year, so check a card's legality on its page before you buy into a deck. Ravensburger's official rules and banned lists are the source if a tournament depends on it, and TurnZero HQ shows Core and Infinity legality on every Lorcana card page. Core is the default format for a new deck in the Deck Lab.
Start from a plan for how the deck wins, then fill in the parts that support it. Lorcana is a race to 20 lore, so that is the thing to plan around. If the rules of the race are new, read how to play Lorcana first.
This page doesn't give a set number of characters, actions and items, because the right split depends on the deck's plan. Any count you read elsewhere is a starting point to change after a few games.
The TurnZero HQ deck builder is called the Deck Lab. It is free on iPhone, Android and the web, and Lorcana decks live on your deck shelf beside your decks for other games.
You can also keep a wishlist section in a deck for cards you are considering. It is not counted, checked or exported with the deck.
The header of every Deck Lab screen shows the deck's card count against its 60-card minimum, whether it is Legal or has N to fix, and the opening hand's headline chance. Each one opens the screen that explains it, and the "Worth fixing" list on the Deck screen says what to change.
The Deck Lab also shows lenses, which measure the deck without checking it against a rule:
The opening-hand numbers are hypergeometric odds for a 7-card hand from your list, before any mulligan. The collection lens reads your Lorcana collection, so it is only as complete as the cards you have added. To fill that in, see the Lorcana collection tracker, the card scanner, or import and export. Where a missing card can be bought, the deck's Buy missing panel builds a TCGplayer list of only the copies you don't own, which uses an affiliate link.
Two more tools sit in the deck's overflow menu. Sample hand deals an opening hand from your list with Draw, Mulligan and New hand, and Versions keeps a history of a day's building that you can restore. What the Deck Lab does not do for Lorcana is suggest cards, rate the deck or claim a win rate. Deck advice is Magic: The Gathering only today.
A deck is private until you publish it. Publishing is opt-in, from the deck's overflow menu, and puts the deck on its own page in the public Lorcana deck gallery. Anyone who opens a published deck can copy it into their own Deck Lab. Once it is published, you can also share it as a picture with a link. Copy decklist gives you the text list for anything else. When you are ready to play it, the Lorcana lore counter tracks the game, with each seat's deck attached. The rest of the Lorcana tools are on the Disney Lorcana hub.
At least 60. A Lorcana deck has no separate sideboard or extra deck in the Deck Lab: one main list of 60 or more cards. Most players build exactly 60, because every card past the minimum makes you less likely to draw your best cards.
Up to 4 copies of a card by its full name, which means the name and the version together. Ariel - On Human Legs and Ariel - Spectacular Singer are different full names, so they each get their own 4 copies. TurnZero HQ checks this when it checks your deck.
At most two. The six inks are Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Steel. A deck that uses a third ink fails the check in TurnZero HQ with an ink limit issue that names the inks it found.
Core Constructed allows only the most recent sets, and older sets rotate out. As of September 2026, sets 9 (Fabled) through 13 (Attack of the Vine!) are Core-legal and sets 1 through 8 are not. Infinity Constructed allows cards from every set, minus its own banned list. The deck construction rules are the same in both.
Yes. The TurnZero HQ Deck Lab is free on iPhone, Android and the web. You can start a Lorcana deck by typing or pasting a list, add cards by search, and see whether it is Legal for Core Constructed or Infinity, plus its ink split, cost curve and opening-hand chances. Some collection features, like the value chart, are Premium.
No. The Deck Lab checks a Lorcana deck and measures it, but deck advice, suggestions and ratings are Magic: The Gathering features today. It also doesn't rank decks or claim to know what wins.
Add cards, see whether the deck is Legal for Core or Infinity, and check its inks, curve and opening hands. Free on iPhone, Android and the web.
