Lorcana rarity symbols and what they mean
Every Disney Lorcana card shows its rarity as a small symbol at the bottom center of the card, below the text box. There are eight rarities. From most common to rarest they are Common (gray circle), Uncommon (white open book), Rare (bronze triangle), Super Rare (silver diamond), Legendary (gold pentagon), Epic (rainbow fan shape), Enchanted (rainbow hexagon) and Iconic (rainbow eight-sided badge). Promo cards have their own gold symbol.
An easy way to remember the main ladder: the shapes gain sides as the rarity goes up, from the circle to the triangle, diamond, pentagon, hexagon and the eight-sided Iconic badge. The Uncommon book and the Epic fan are the exceptions. The colors climb too, from gray and white to bronze, silver, gold and finally rainbow.
- Common: gray circle
- The most plentiful cards. A typical 204-card set has 72 Commons, and each booster pack holds 6.
- Uncommon: white open book
- 54 per typical set and 3 per pack. The only standard symbol that is not a geometric shape.
- Rare: bronze triangle
- 48 per typical set. Each pack has 2 non-foil cards that are Rare or higher.
- Super Rare: silver diamond
- 18 per typical set, found in those Rare-or-higher slots.
- Legendary: gold pentagon
- 12 per typical set, the rarest of the standard cards.
- Epic: rainbow fan (shell) shape
- Added in 2025, 18 per set. Frameless alternate versions of cards from the same set, with rainbow foil, holofoil icons and tinted text. Rarer than Legendary but more common than Enchanted.
- Enchanted: rainbow hexagon with a small diamond in the center
- Borderless alternate art versions of cards from the set, always foil. Every main set since The First Chapter in 2023 has Enchanted cards.
- Iconic: rainbow eight-sided badge with a hollow center
- Added in 2025 and the rarest tier, with only 2 per set. Full-card artwork, a custom lore star foil pattern and 3D hot stamping.
- Promo: gold outline symbol
- Marks cards handed out through events, product launches and other giveaways rather than a step on the pack rarity ladder. Some promos carry an event stamp, such as D23 Expo, instead.
Where the rarity symbol, set number and collector number are
The bottom strip of a Lorcana card holds the collector information. On the left is the artist's name and, under it, a line such as 41/204 · EN · 1. The first number is the collector number. The number after the slash is how many standard cards the set has (usually 204). EN is the language code, and the last number is the set. The rarity symbol sits in the center of the same strip, and the copyright line is on the right.
A collector number higher than the set total means a special rarity. Since Fabled, the Epic cards come right after the standard cards, then the Enchanted cards, then the 2 Iconic cards at the very end. In Fabled, for example, The Queen, Conceited Ruler (Epic) is 205/204 · EN · 9, and Minnie Mouse, Sweetheart Princess (Iconic) is 241/204 · EN · 9. Promo cards use a promo series in place of the set total, such as 7/P4.
Set numbers so far: 1 The First Chapter, 2 Rise of the Floodborn, 3 Into the Inklands, 4 Ursula's Return, 5 Shimmering Skies, 6 Azurite Sea, 7 Archazia's Island, 8 Reign of Jafar, 9 Fabled, 10 Whispers in the Well, 11 Winterspell, 12 Wilds Unknown, 13 Attack of the Vine! and 14 Hyperia City (October 2026).
Foil and cold foil Lorcana cards
A 12-card booster pack has 6 Commons, 3 Uncommons, 2 cards that are Rare, Super Rare or Legendary, and 1 foil card of any rarity. Foil is a finish, not a rarity. Every standard card from Common to Legendary also exists as a foil, and a foil Common is still a Common.
Lorcana foils are made with cold foil. Instead of printing the card onto foil stock, the foil is printed over the card, and the designers pick which parts of each card shine. Lorcana co-designer Ryan Miller has said cold foiling also reduces the curl that foil cards are known for.
Enchanted, Epic and Iconic cards exist only as foils, and they come out of that same foil slot, which is why they are so hard to pull. Ravensburger does not publish official pull rates, so treat any odds you see online as estimates.
How Lorcana rarities changed in 2025 and 2026
The first eight sets, from The First Chapter (August 2023) to Reign of Jafar (2025), used six rarities: Common through Legendary plus Enchanted. Fabled, the ninth set (September 2025), added Epic and Iconic and gave Enchanted cards new rainbow foil hot stamping and a holofoil rarity symbol. Every main set since, through Hyperia City in October 2026, has 18 Epic and 2 Iconic cards. The Comprehensive Rules effective October 16, 2026 still list the same eight rarities plus Promo.
The first Iconic cards were Minnie Mouse, Sweetheart Princess and Mickey Mouse, Brave Little Prince in Fabled. The Hyperia City pair is Mickey Mouse, Best in Town and Cinderella, Unintentional Icon.
One more tier has been announced but is not out yet. Illustrious cards are planned only for the new Collector Boosters, starting with Into the Inkdark in early 2027: six per set, each serialized to just 23 copies. Regular booster packs on shelves today do not contain them.
Other Lorcana card symbols: ink, inkwell and stats
Rarity is not the only symbol collectors ask about. These are the others printed on the cards:
- Ink cost
- The number in the hexagon in the top left corner is how much ink the card costs to play.
- Inkwell symbol
- A decorative swirl around the cost hexagon means the card can be put into your inkwell as ink. Cards without it cannot normally be used as ink.
- Ink type symbol
- The icon at the left edge just above the text box, matched by the colored band behind the name. The six inks are Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire and Steel. Dual-ink cards, first printed in Archazia's Island (2025), show two ink symbols and count as both inks.
- Strength and Willpower
- On characters, the burst icon is Strength (damage dealt in a challenge) and the shield is Willpower (damage needed to banish the character).
- Lore
- The diamond symbols along the right edge of a character's text box show how much lore it earns each time it quests.
Does rarity decide a Lorcana card's value?
Rarity tells you how often a card is pulled, not exactly what it is worth. Enchanted and Iconic cards are usually the chase cards of a set, but the character, demand from players and collectors, the print language and the finish all move the price. A foil and a non-foil copy of the same card are priced separately, and so are the standard, Epic, Enchanted and Iconic versions of one character.
To be sure which version you hold, compare the collector number with the set total and check the symbol at the bottom center. CardFrame helps from your phone camera: a scan identifies the set, collector number and language, you pick foil or non-foil from the card's variants, and you see a price estimate for that exact printing.
