We will offer a comprehensive rundown of everything that was disclosed for the new Shimmering Skies set, since a VOD of the broadcast was not preserved.For those who are not know, Ravensburger debuted Ursula's Return on their first Lorecast back in March. Following an excellent cinematic that introduces the concept and key characters of the forthcoming set, the broadcast offers fans a ton of thrilling card and product announcements.There will be many spoilers for the Shimmering Skies set going ahead. There will be some cards added that were discovered in the media package and by digging around the official website, even though the most of them are from the official reveal.
Disney Lorcana Product unveiling for Shimmering Skies
The Lorecast broadcast indicates that when it comes to card packs, Ravensburger is staying with the Illumineer's Trove, booster box, and of course booster packs. It seems that the gift set that was included in sets prior to Ursula's Return has been formally removed from the product range.Products from Shimmering Skies will go on sale on August 9, 2024 at small gaming shops and on August 23, 2024 at big retailers.Although a Illumineer’s Quest hasn’t been revealed for Shimmering Skies yet, given its popularity, Ravensburger will probably give this game style another go in the future. Actually, in the second part of the Lorecast webcast, the team faced Ursula in a game that they played—and lost. Despite losing, every member raved about the game style and said they had a great time.New card types and Shining Skies franchises
The Wreck-It Ralph series seems to be one of the main centerpieces of the Lorcana Shimmering Skies set, along with returning franchises like Frozen, Lion King, and Emperor's New Groove. "racers" is a brand-new card type that was unveiled that originates from the Wreck-It Ralph world. Currently, racers are limited to the Ruby ink variety. Based on the card reveals, it seems that the racers will consist of a fast-moving cast of characters with the Rush keyword ability and additional effects that activate as soon as the character enters play.Starting decks for Shimmering Skies
In a quick tease during the official Lorcana broadcast, two intriguing new beginner decks were shown. The first deck has Elsa and Wreck-It Ralph as its faces. It is an amethyst/ruby deck. They did not provide any information on the deck plan, but given what we know about the ink types and their synergies, this deck may be an aggro-control deck that makes use of Ruby's aggressiveness and Amethyst's bounce mechanics.In the second beginning deck, a group of Emerald/Steel characters is led by Scar and Kronk. We are aware of the typical synergy between Emerald and Steel in competitive Disney Lorcana play, so it shouldn't come as a surprise if this deck ranks among the top beginner decks when it is released.Every Lorcana and Card reveal for Shimmering Skies
