Errata Update

July 10, 2024 - Author: Richelle Brady

Changes coming with Shimmering Skies

Hello, Disney Lorcana TCG players. We have an announcement regarding a card that will be receiving errata in all formats starting with the Shimmering Skies hobby release on August 9th, 2024.

Errata is not something we take lightly or want to do too often, so we want to give some context for our plans. Errata and bans going forward will be planned to be effective at the hobby launch of the next set, unless a change is deemed immediately necessary. We want to preserve a fun environment for the game, and address cards that cause negative experiences for players at all levels. We’re looking for ways to make printed versions of the updated card available to players later this year, and it will be corrected in any future printings.

Starting August 9th, 2024, the following card will be changed as follows:

 

Bucky - Squirrel Squeak Tutor

Bucky – Squirrel Squeak Tutor

Rise of the Floodborn (Set 2)

Cost: 2 🠮 3

Keyword: Ward 🠮 No keyword ability

Updated ability: \Squeak\ Whenever you play a Floodborn character, each opponent chooses and discards a card. à Whenever you play a Floodborn character, if you used Shift to play them, each opponent chooses and discards a card.

Context: Ursula’s Return gave Bucky players the opportunity to discard multiple cards from opponents’ hands as early as turn 2 while building up a board that was very difficult to interact with, creating a stressful environment that just wasn’t fun. Ward also made Bucky close to untouchable, taking away player agency to deal with a powerful and cheap threat. For these reasons, we’re increasing Bucky’s cost to 3 and removing Ward from him. Additionally, we feel that requiring Shift better represents the Floodborn experience, as many decks utilizing Bucky have mostly ignored using the Shift mechanic (outside of one sinister bird).

Please keep in mind, for Challenge events, Shimmering Skies will be legal on August 30th, but the errata will go into effect immediately, so the Challenge event in Toronto on the weekend prior will have the errata in effect even though Shimmering Skies is not legal for the event. We apologize for missing the mark on this card and hope you understand why we’re taking steps to preserve a fun experience.

Lastly, as we’d like the Disney Lorcana TCG to remain a welcoming experience for players new to TCGs, please be understanding and helpful with those who may not follow changes

like this. It can be tough to keep up with, so we’re working to provide an update on the app as soon as we can.

Thank you for your support of the Disney Lorcana TCG.
