Many immediately suspected what we eventually learned: Archazias Island will introduce dual-ink cards to the game.
Could Fabled bring us back to the very beginning of Lorcana?
But Ravensburger has remained tight-lipped about how exactly these new dual-ink cards work - until now.
Miller says that he and co-designer Steve Warner discussed dual-ink cards earlier in the design process.
Theres two ways it could have worked, he explains.
It could be more restrictive, or it could be less restrictive.
It would make dual-ink cards a little less exciting.
They would cost more for what they do.
Miller says theres an interesting challenge of balancing deck building cost and in-game cost.
Once Ive built my deck, the deck building cost is no longer a consideration, he says.
By going wide it would have destabilized the balance between the inks.
It was ultimately decided that dual-ink cards would only be allowed in decks that containbothink colors.
It allows us to do some neat stuff on cards that we couldnt do before.
Ink Geyser!
you’re able to learn more about Ink Geyser in ourfull reveal.
Every set can, and will be, someones first time playing Lorcana.
Giving players decks and strategies they havent considered before is the lifeblood of a good trading card game.
Archazias Island will feature both dual-ink and regular cards, but theres still a lot we dont know.
Is this something well see in future sets, or just Archazias Island?
Will every possible ink-color combo be represented?
What about Enchanted dual-ink cards?
