Whispers in the Well Set Guide

Overview

Whispers in the Well is Disney Lorcana's tenth set and the last of 2025. It introduced Boost, the mechanic Winterspell expanded in 2026, and two new classifications: 18 Whisper characters and 10 Gargoyles from the Gargoyles series.

Its 204 regular cards split evenly across the six inks, 34 each, with no dual-ink cards. 19 are Detectives, led by Zootopia's Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, and 9 are locations, more than in any 2026 set.

Cards and rarities

Whispers in the Well has 242 cards. The collector line at the bottom of each card shows its number over 204, the count of regular cards, then the language and the set number 10, as in "1/204 · EN · 10". Cards numbered above 204 are the Epic, Enchanted and Iconic extras.

Every Epic, Enchanted and Iconic card is a foil reprint of a card from the same set with new art, so it plays exactly like the regular printing. That is why a Legendary and its Iconic can sit a thousand dollars apart. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts the regular cards by collector number and keeps Enchanted, Epic and Iconic cards apart as extras, so finishing the set and chasing the cards above it read as two separate goals.

Boost, Whispers and Gargoyles

Boost first appears here, on 24 regular cards. Once during your turn, you may pay the Boost cost to put the top card of your deck facedown under the character, and its other abilities count or react to the cards under it: Ariel - Ethereal Voice draws when you play a song, and Simba - King in the Making may play a character off the top of your deck.

The Gargoyles have their own rule, Stone by Day: a Gargoyle can't ready while you have 3 or more cards in hand. That pushes a Gargoyle deck to empty its hand quickly, which Goliath - Clan Leader enforces on every player.

These are each card's TCGplayer market price on September 30, 2026, as Lorcast republishes it. Prices for a recent set can move a long way in its first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for every finish and its 90-day chart. How Lorcana card prices work →

Playing it

Every Whispers in the Well card is legal in Core Constructed. Core Constructed has used sets 9 (Fabled) onward since Attack of the Vine! released in July 2026, when sets 5 to 8 rotated out; sets 1 to 4 had left at the first rotation, with Fabled in 2025. Infinity Constructed allows every set.

Boost costs ink every turn you use it, so it rewards a deck that can afford to spend a turn's ink on a character already in play rather than a new card. Winterspell's Boost support, such as Donald Duck - Fred Honeywell, makes that trade better.
