Winterspell Set Guide

Overview

Winterspell is Disney Lorcana's eleventh set and the first of 2026. Its 204 regular cards split evenly across the six inks, 34 each, and none of them is dual-ink.

The set's theme is winter. Elsa and Anna from Frozen sit at Legendary, and a run of characters cast as Mickey's Christmas Carol figures (Goofy as the Ghost of Jacob Marley, Willie the Giant as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Pete as the Ghost of Christmas Future) carries several of the Boost cards.

It also adds the Super classification, used here by Darkwing Duck and his St. Canard cast, which Wilds Unknown then builds on with The Incredibles.

Cards and rarities

Winterspell 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 11, as in "1/204 · EN · 11". 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, now on a location

Boost first appeared in Whispers in the Well, and 18 of Winterspell's regular cards have it. Once during your turn, you may pay the Boost cost to put the top card of your deck facedown under the character. The cards under it count for whatever its other abilities say.

Most Boost cards scale with the cards under them: Genie gains lore, Wreck-it Ralph gains strength, and Pete looks deeper into your deck when he quests. Scrooge's Counting House is the first location with Boost, gaining willpower and lore for each card under it. Cards such as Minnie Mouse - Mrs. Cratchit and Donald Duck - Fred Honeywell put extra cards under your Boost characters without paying for it.

Winterspell #242

Rarity Iconic

Card number 242/204

Market price, September 30, 2026 $1,250.98

Illustrator Leslie Strock

Winterspell's chase card is the Iconic Moana - Curious Explorer, illustrated by Leslie Strock. At $1,250.98 on September 30, 2026 it was the set's most valuable card, with the other Iconic, Pocahontas - Peacekeeper, close behind at $1,059.36.

The same Moana is a Legendary at number 155, where it was $8.05, or $15.44 in foil. The card text is identical, so a player who wants Moana's ability in a deck needs only the Legendary.

Only the exact printing is worth its price. The collector number and the rarity symbol at the bottom of the card tell you which one you pulled. Reading the collector line →

Chase cards and prices

Below the two Iconics, Winterspell's Enchanted cards hold up better than most sets': the median Enchanted was about $202, and Elsa and Eeyore were both above $500.

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 Winterspell 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 asks for ink every turn, which is the cost to weigh. A Boost character that sits back and takes cards under it is spending the ink you would otherwise use to play another card, so it pays off most in a deck that wants to stretch a few strong characters over a long game.
