How it plays out of the box
Build a board of Inventors and items, then use the discounts and Resist to stay ahead. Gadget quests for 3 once she's out, and MegaBot gives the deck its only clean removal.
It's a slow deck with a lot of small pieces, and many of them do little alone. It's one of the weaker starters out of the box and one of the more rewarding to upgrade.
The cards on the box
Go Go Tomago - Darting Dynamo
Azurite Sea #73
Evasive. When played, pay 2 to gain lore equal to an opposing character's damage.
Gadget Hackwrench - Brilliant Bosun
Azurite Sea #140
Shift 4, quests for 3, and makes Inventors cheaper with 3 or more items out.
Other cards to know
The rating: power 2, difficulty 4
Many small synergies that are slow to assemble, with little removal.
Both numbers are TurnZero HQ's own editorial read, not an official Ravensburger rating. Power compares the deck out of the box against the other starter decks, not against a tuned tournament list. Difficulty is how much the deck asks of the person playing it.
What to cut first
Cut items that only do something once and characters that aren't Inventors. Keep MegaBot.
A Lorcana deck needs at least 60 cards, no more than 4 copies of a card with the same full name, and at most two inks, so every card you add means one you take out. The deck building rules →
Upgrade direction 1: Items that matter
Later Sapphire cards play items for free and recur them, which turns the deck's item count into real value.

Darkwing Duck - Dashing Gadgeteer
Winterspell #150

Wilds Unknown #85
Loots whenever you pay 2 or less for a non-character.
Retro Evolution Device
Winterspell #100

Upgrade direction 2: Bigger threats
Give the deck a finish it can reach: large, hard-to-remove characters in exactly these inks.
Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse - Adventuring Duo
Attack of the Vine! #99
A dual-ink Emerald and Sapphire 5-lore character that goes to your inkwell instead of being banished.
Milo Thatch - Getting His Hands Dirty

Elinor - Renowned Diplomat

Damage, lore and a card at the end of your turn.
Let It Go
Winterspell #163
Removal that sends a character to the inkwell.
Core or Infinity
As of October 2026, this deck is not legal in Core Constructed as sold, because Core uses sets 9 (Fabled) onward. A card counts as Core-legal when any printing with its full name is, so the cards from this box that were reprinted in Fabled or later can still be played there. The whole deck is legal in Infinity Constructed, which allows every set, and at any kitchen table.
Every upgrade pick on this page is from set 9 or later, so all of them are Core-legal. Core Constructed vs. Infinity →

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Big Hero 6 starter deck good?
Out of the box it's one of the weaker starters, at power 2, because its pieces take a while to come together. It improves a lot with the item cards from later sets.
Does MegaBot need a target to be played?
No. It enters play exerted and waits. Banish it later to destroy an item or a damaged character.
