Since its release, Disney Lorcana has been a fan-favorite of both those who love the immersive trading card world, and those who are beginners. If you are relatively new, or are just ripping open booster packs for the first time, you may want to cover all of the rarities of the cards first.
There are a total of seven rarity levels, and they are easily identifiable if you know where to look. Here is a guide to show you where to find the rarities and what each one means. While all cards have value, some are worth more than others.
Updated July 7, 2024 by Zoë J. Osik: Every Disney Lorcana card rarity has a use, whether it's a common or legendary card. We've updated this guide to include more information about promo cards and how to obtain them, as well as new information about the Illumineer's Quest cards!
The Rarity Levels Explained
Disney Lorcana offers six rarity levels and they are set up depending on how difficult it is to get the cards. These rarities are identified by the symbol found in the bottom center of the card.
The card also comes in foil and non-foil treatments. Foil cards have a metallic glossy effect on them, and all cards apart from Enchanted cards come in both formats. Enchanted cards are always foil and have unique art that differs from the standard image.
The value of Enchanted rare cards lies in their unique and often impressive artwork.

The rarities tend to determine which cards are technically stronger, though common and uncommon cards can be incredibly useful as well. A surface level, the rarities determine how likely you are to find a card overall.
What Comes In A Pack
Each booster pack comes with 12 cards, which are randomized. The contents are as follows:
- Common (6)
- Uncommon (3)
- Rare, Super Rare, or Legendary (2)
- Foil (1)
Each pack comes with a foil card, which can be of any rarity.
While the cards come in different rarities, often related to how strong they are in play, you can make capable decks with cards of any rarity. For example, an Amber/Sapphire Princess deck can be made from all types of cards.
At the very least, many common cards can be used as ink, but they can also be used to shift stronger cards and support them. Every Disney Lorcana card rarity has a purpose, so don't feel discouraged if you don't get what you want right away.
Enchanted Rares
The extremely rare Enchanted cards are decorated with feature alternative artwork and ink wash foil treatment.
Only certain cards in a set will receive the Enchanted treatment, and the value of each card increases accordingly.
They are among the rarest and most valuable cards in the game, with no guarantee that you'd even pull one in an entire booster box, let alone a single pack.
Despite featuring a similar frame and alternate art, the Disney100 Edition Lorcana cards are not considered Enchanted rarity.
These extra special cards are numbered above 204 and are highly sought after. Despite the decorative art, there are no additional effects in-game when using an Enchanted rare card.
Promo Cards
There are special cards you can find called promo cards, which cannot be purchased or found in booster packs. Instead, these have special conditions, like being won in a tournament or being distributed as a prize for participating in local events.
Promo cards are often limited in availability, so take the chance to grab one when you can!
Promo cards can sometimes have alternative art, though they are generally just alternate treatments of existing Lorcana cards. They won't function any differently than the originals.
They're a fun addition to your collection and make for a great conversation piece. Keep tabs on local game shops and events in your area to learn when you can obtain one of these limited cards!
Illumineer's Quest Cards
With Ursula's Return, new cards were introduced for the Sea Witch to play against Illumineers. These are cards that cannot be put into your own deck, and they are only used in the Illumineer's Quest – Deep Trouble to defeat Ursula from taking over Lorcana.
The Ursula Scenario Deck has a unique card back to differentiate it from standard cards.
While this rarity has no official name yet, you won't find these cards in traditional packs or at events. They specifically make up Ursula's hand, and she will use them to thwart you and your fellow Illumineers at every turn.
