When Mickey Mouse isn’t taking the spotlight, Donald Duck is close behind to steal the show. Disney Lorcana gives plenty of focus to Mickey and his friends as they go on new adventures across the Realm of Imagination. While Mickey Mouse has his own set of valuable cards, Donald Duck has his fair share of hard-to-find treasures as well.
Donald Duck cards come in a variety of different styles. Some depict Donald in iconic outfits from some of his earlier appearances in films. Other cards give him that Lorcana flair. So what are the most valuable versions of Donald in the game?
11 Donald Duck, Musketeer — $0.13
A Small Splash Before A Bigger One
You have to start off small before you make a big splash. On the lower side of the value spectrum is Donald Duck, Musketeer from the First Chapter. This Donald is ready to defend his allies on the quest to get you the lore needed to win.
This card has another, more valuable, variant that steals the spotlight. However, it’s always interesting to see just how much of a jump one printing can have in comparison to some of their other printings.
10 Donald Duck, Lively Pirate — $0.19
Get Your Actions Back
Even Donald can be happy too. Donald Duck, Lively Pirate gives him that swashbuckling makeover. He also seems to be enjoying his role as a pirate. This is a rare card from Archazia’s Island and while not one of the most valuable in the set, can help you get some cards back from the discard.
Questing for two and being able to get action cards back to your hand from the discard isn’t half bad. It can even get some of the better buffs from the set from other cards like Pete.
9 Donald Duck, Musketeer Soldier — $0.26
Ready For Adventure
Donald Duck, Musketeer Soldier helps you start ramping up your lore generation and ensure that you can keep questing. It has Bodyguard which will protect your other exerted characters from being challenged.
This card also allows one of your other characters to quest for an additional lore the turn you play this version of Donald. This card can be found in Ursula’s Return as an uncommon. This is a pretty good Amber card for some aggro strategies.
8 Donald Duck, Not Again! — $1.25
Donald Duck At His Funniest
One of the biggest running gags for Donald Duck is that he can get easily frustrated. Donald Duck, Not Again depicts one of his usual tantrums. This time, it gives you some pretty good buffs the angrier you make him.
He is evasive, which allows him to stay out of trouble when questing. Phooey! also allows him to generate an additional lore for each damage on him. With a willpower of five, Donald can potentially quest for four lore by clinging to that last bit of health.
7 Donald Duck, Pie Slinger — $1.41
Cooking Up A Storm
Donald starts to do some real damage with Donald Duck, Pie Slinger from the Shimmering Skies set. This card can Shift onto another Donald Duck card for only four ink instead of five. When Shifted, your opponent will automatically lose two lore.
Donald doesn’t go down easy. Seeing your opponent ahead in the game will make him angry. If they have ten or more lore, then Donald gets six more strength, bringing him up to a beefy nine. Better not get in this duck’s way.
6 Donald Duck, Buccaneer — $3.08
Walking The Plank
In any TCG, the more copies you need of a card, the more that value starts to stack up. Donald Duck, Buccaneer loves making characters walk the plank. Each time he manages to successfully banish a character in a challenge, all your other characters can generate an extra lore during the turn.
This Donald can be found in the Ursula’s Return set as a legendary card. For the ability that it has, it makes sense.
5 Donald Duck, Flustered Sorcerer — $3.41
Making Your Opponent’s Angry
One of the best cards in Archazia’s Island, Donald Duck, Flustered Sorcerer, can potentially extend the game and give you a chance to make a much-needed comeback. He does this by making your opponents need 25 lore instead of 20 to win.
This extended goal can be quite frustrating for your opponent but won’t affect you at all. Instead, you can use Donald to quest for three lore each turn and start leaping at that finish line.
4 Daisy Duck, Donald’s Date — $7.42
An Honorary Donald Card
While Daisy Duck, Donald’s Date is not a true Donald Duck card, it does feature a teddy bear wearing his iconic hat and bowtie. Surely, Donald’s beloved gets the honorary status. After all, she’s Donald’s date.
This great aggro card can be found in the Shimmering Skies set as a super rare. She can help you generate some quick lore early in the game while also giving you a chance to get some more characters in your hand.
3 Donald Duck, Musketeer — $40.83
A Valuable Donald Promo
The Musketeer cards all have promos. However, if you want to complete the set, it can be a bit of a trek. Donald Duck, Musketeer’s promo card was printed as part of a convention giveaway. So if you wanted to get your hands on it, you needed to be in attendance.
The good thing about promos is that if you’re not a collector and just want to play for the competitive side, you aren’t going to miss out. If you are into collecting, gather up your Musketeers and prepare to quest.
2 Donald Duck, Pie Slinger — Enchanted — $67.07
Pie Throwing At It’s Finest

1 Donald Duck, Flustered Sorcerer — Enchanted — $128.06
The Magic Comes Alive
