What are the different rarity levels of Lorcana cards?
The rarity of a card determines how difficult it is to find. Here are the 6 rarity levels of Disney Lorcana:
Common: These cards are the most common. If you regularly open boosters, expect to see these cards quite frequently and to have duplicates, triplicates, etc.
Uncommon: A step above commons. They are more sought after and a bit less frequent in boosters.
Rare: As the name suggests, they are not so common. With only two of these cards per booster, they start to become harder to obtain.
Super Rare: Even rarer and often with special abilities or illustrations.
Legendary: These cards are exceptional and are the jewels of any collection.
Enchanted: The Holy Grail of Disney Lorcana cards. These ultra-rare cards represent some of Disney’s most iconic characters, like Sorcerer Mickey and Elsa.
To identify the rarity level of a card, simply look at the card itself. Indeed, each Disney Lorcana card has a symbol at the bottom center indicating its rarity. Make sure to check it to know which rarity level your card belongs to.
