Disney Lorcana is going green — and not in a calm, eco-friendly, “plant a tree and feel smug” sort of way.
Disney Lorcana: Attack of the Vine! is the thirteenth main set for the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game, and it looks like Ravensburger is leaning hard into a summer blockbuster feel. The story centres on a giant, invasive vine spreading through the realm, creating vineling monsters, leafy copies of glimmers, and plenty of magical chaos.
More importantly for many fans, Attack of the Vine! marks the Disney Lorcana debut of Monsters, Inc., with Mike Wazowski, Boo, and Sulley already shown as preview cards. There are also strong indications that characters from Up and Turning Red will feature in the set, making this another big Pixar moment for Lorcana.
Here is everything we know so far.
Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine! release date
Attack of the Vine! is currently scheduled for general release on: 24 July 2026
That means local game stores should get the first bite at the vine, with pre-release events giving players the chance to open packs, try the set early, and get involved before the wider launch.
For UK players and collectors, this is one to watch closely. Lorcana has built a strong following, and Pixar-heavy sets tend to pull in both existing players and casual Disney fans who suddenly discover that yes, cardboard can absolutely become a personality trait.
What is Attack of the Vine! about?
The official theme is wonderfully dramatic: a huge thorny vine is growing out of control across the realm of Lorcana. It is creating monsters, spreading panic, and threatening everything in its path.
The tagline-style feel is very clear: “100% organic panic.”
That gives the set a slightly spooky, adventure-horror tone without straying away from Disney Lorcana’s colourful, family-friendly identity. It also makes the Monsters, Inc. debut feel very deliberate. When the realm is full of scary things, who better to call than the professional scarers?
Well, former professional scarers. HR probably still has paperwork.
Confirmed Attack of the Vine! cards so far
The full card list has not been revealed yet, so any “complete” list online should be treated carefully until Ravensburger publishes the full set information.
So far, the confirmed cards include:
| Card | Ink | Rarity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mike Wazowski – Well-Rounded Entertainer | Amber | Common | A cheap character that can give another character extra lore for the turn. |
| Sulley – The New Boss | Amber | Super Rare | A Bodyguard character that can return a character card from your discard to your hand. |
| Boo – Energetic Child | Ruby | Rare | Has Rush and can banish smaller characters when she challenges them. |
That is only a small preview, but it already tells us a few useful things.
First, Amber looks like it may be getting some solid value tools, especially with Sulley bringing back characters from the discard pile. Second, Boo is already catching attention from players because efficient Rush-based removal is always worth watching. Third, Mike gives Amber a flexible low-cost option that can help push extra lore at the right moment.
None of these cards confirm the full shape of the set, but they give us a decent first sniff of where the design might be heading.
Monsters, Inc. finally arrives in Disney Lorcana
This is the big headline.
Mike, Boo, and Sulley are hugely popular Disney and Pixar characters, and their arrival in Lorcana is likely to attract both collectors and players. First appearances matter in trading card games. Even when a card is not immediately tournament-defining, collectors often pay close attention when a beloved franchise joins the game for the first time.
Sulley in particular looks like a strong early talking point. He has fan-favourite character status, a useful ability, Bodyguard, and a Super Rare rarity. Boo is also getting plenty of early attention thanks to her aggressive Ruby card design.
Mike, meanwhile, is exactly where Mike should be: doing something weird, useful, and slightly theatrical.
Will Up and Turning Red be in Attack of the Vine?
Current public set information points towards Up and Turning Red also being part of Attack of the Vine!
That could make this set especially appealing for Pixar collectors. Lorcana has already shown how powerful character nostalgia can be, and Pixar has a deep bench of characters that are instantly recognisable even to people who do not follow TCGs closely.
If Up appears properly in the card list, expect a lot of collector interest. Carl, Russell, Dug, Kevin, the house, the balloons — there is a lot of potential there. Turning Red also opens the door to a very different visual style, which could make for some fantastic card art.
In short: this set could be a Pixar collector trap, but in the nicest possible way.
Attack of the Vine! product lineup
The expected product lineup includes the usual core Lorcana range:
- Booster packs
- Booster display boxes
- Illumineer’s Trove
- Prerelease Box
- Accessories such as playmats and storage products
The Prerelease Box is especially interesting because it is designed for local game store events and contains booster packs, themed dice, a random promo card, a poster, and Pack Rush rules.
The Illumineer’s Trove remains the collector-friendly option, with booster packs, dividers, dice, a lore counter, and a storage box.
Booster packs remain the main way to build your collection and chase the cards you need for decks, trades, and binders. As usual, each booster contains a mix of common, uncommon, rare-or-higher, and foil cards.
Why competitive players should care
Attack of the Vine! is not just another set release. It is also important because Set 13 is tied to the next Core Constructed rotation.
That means competitive players will need to think beyond the shiny new cards. Decks may need rebuilding, older strategies may lose key pieces, and the early post-release metagame could look very different.
This makes Attack of the Vine! a particularly interesting set for players who enjoy solving formats quickly. The first few weeks after release could be messy, exciting, and full of bold deckbuilding choices. In other words, exactly when the most dangerous phrase in any TCG appears:
“Trust me, this deck works.”
From the cards revealed so far, Amber value decks and Ruby tempo tools are worth watching, but it is far too early to call the strongest archetypes. The full spoiler will matter.
What are players expecting from the set?
Public reaction so far is mostly positive, especially around the Pixar focus. Monsters, Inc. is a very strong starting point, and the possibility of Up and Turning Red gives Attack of the Vine! a broad collector appeal.
The main concerns are around timing. Some players feel Attack of the Vine! is arriving quite soon after Wilds Unknown, which may make the release calendar feel a little crowded. Competitive players are also watching rotation closely, as the set could reset the format faster than some expected.
There is also speculation around why the set appears to have 207 main-set cards rather than the more familiar 204-card structure used by several earlier releases. Some players are wondering whether this hints at dual-ink cards or something unusual in the set structure, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
For now, the sensible approach is simple: enjoy the previews, avoid wild speculation, and do not trust any “full card list” until reliable sources have actually shown the cards.
Is Attack of the Vine! good for new Lorcana players?
Potentially, yes.
Big character-driven sets are often great entry points because they give new players something familiar to connect with. A Monsters, Inc. fan might not care about the current competitive metagame, but show them Boo deleting opposing characters and suddenly they are asking what “inkable” means.
That is how it starts. Then come sleeves. Then binders. Then “just one more booster.” Nature is healing.
Attack of the Vine! could be a strong set for newer players because it has a clear theme, recognisable characters, and products that support both collecting and playing. The Prerelease Box also gives local game stores a good opportunity to run beginner-friendly events around the launch.
Should collectors be excited?
Yes — cautiously.
The confirmed Monsters, Inc. cards are already interesting, and the wider Pixar focus gives the set strong collector potential. First appearances, popular franchises, and strong artwork can all make a set memorable even before the competitive scene decides which cards are strongest.
That said, the full card list is not out yet. We do not know the complete Legendary lineup, the premium art treatments, the full spread of rarities, or which characters will become the biggest chase cards.
Collectors should keep an eye on:
- First appearances of major Pixar characters
- Enchanted or premium art versions
- Strong fan-favourite characters
- Cards that become competitive staples
- Prerelease promos and event-only items
The hype is real, but the data is still incomplete. Or, to put it another way: the vine has grown, but we have not seen what is hiding behind all the leaves yet.
Final thoughts
Disney Lorcana: Attack of the Vine! looks like one of the most interesting Lorcana releases of 2026. It brings Monsters, Inc. into the game, pushes the wider Pixar storyline forward, introduces a fun vine-themed threat, and lands at an important moment for competitive rotation.
For collectors, it has the makings of a memorable character-driven set. For players, it could be the start of a fresh competitive environment. For everyone else, it is another reminder that Disney Lorcana is very good at turning nostalgia into beautifully illustrated cardboard.
We will be keeping a close eye on new reveals as the full card list starts to grow.
