We\u2019ve picked out five cards that we can\u2019t wait to get our hands on. The realm of Lorcana is celebrating Ursula\u2019s defeat in the next set of the Disney Lorcana TCG. Shimmering Skies looks to be a turning point for the TCG with its first-ever global release and a bunch of new product types hitting stores. Whether you\u2019re a collector looking to track down the most expensive cards or a competitive player hoping to keep on top of Disney Lorcana\u2019s meta, Shimmering Skies will add plenty of killer cards to hunt for. The reveals have been slowly rolling out, including our own, and we\u2019re ready to name our picks for the most intriguing cards of the set. Whether it\u2019s power or flavor, these are the five most exciting cards from Disney Lorcana Shimmering Skies. Mufasa \u2013 Ruler of Pride Rock Starting out strong, and we mean really strong, Mufasa \u2013 Ruler of Pride Rock is going to be a major hit with Sapphire players who love a bit of ramp. With the right lines, this potentially meta-warping Disney Lorcana card can hit the field on turn four. His nine Willpower will keep him safe from most damage-based removal and all but the hardest of Ruby\u2019s. The \u2018A Delicate Balance\u2019 ability might seem like a bit of a drawback at first given that you lose two Ink. But six isn\u2019t exactly low, and those cards return to your hand. Mufasa \u2013 Ruler of Pride Rock\u2019s real draw is that on top of Questing for three Lore, you\u2019re able to ready your entire Inkwell when he does. In theory, after he dries, you could summon two copies of Mickey Mouse \u2013 Detective who adds an exerted card to your Inkwell, Quest with Mufasa, and have another eight Ink ready to go. That prospective combo makes this one of Shimmering Skies\u2019 most desirable cards and it\u2019s just one potential option. Prince Naveen \u2013 Ukulele Player If you love serenading your opponents with your favorite Disney hits, you\u2019re going to love Prince Naveen \u2013 Ukulele Player. Keeping up Amber\u2019s Song-focused Character identity, this charming prince has the Singer 6 ability allowing him to punch up when singing. We cannot think of a Song card in Disney Lorcana that costs six Ink for the life of us but that doesn\u2019t really matter thanks to Prince Naveen \u2013 Ukelele Player\u2019s ability. When you play him, you can also play a Song that costs six Ink or less for free. This gives you access to power plays like Grab Your Sword, Along Came Zeus, and Be King Undisputed without spending Ink or exerting Naveen. That kind of value makes this card an auto-include for Steelsong decks in the Disney Lorcana Shimmering Skies meta. Daisy Duck \u2013 Donald\u2019s Date Shimmering Skies is being really kind to Amber players. Daisy Duck \u2013 Donald\u2019s Date is a perfect addition to any aggro deck that\u2019s looking to win the race for Lore as fast as possible. She may not appear as flashy as the other cards in this list so far but we\u2019re excited about this variant of Daisy for a reason. As a one-cost character, she has the biggest pool of Willpower we\u2019ve seen in the bracket so far. It\u2019s practically guaranteed to keep her on the board despite early challenges and removal options. Given that she Quests for two Lore which is amazing for her cost, you can be certain you\u2019ll get at least four out of her as you build your early-game board. The only apparent drawback is the possibility that you\u2019ll lose an important Item or Song, but we\u2019ve already seen some tournament-winning aggro decks that don\u2019t include any. Pete \u2013 Game Referee With so many of Disney Lorcana\u2019s meta decks running Steel, Pete \u2013 Referee is looking to be one of Shimmering Skies\u2019 most impactful cards in the competitive scene. Online buzz is even referring to him as the next Bucky \u2013 Squirrel Squeak Tutor. After you play Pete, his Whistle ability prevents your opponents from playing Actions until the start of your next turn. Coming in as early as turn three lets you potentially hold off things like Be King Undisputed, Along Came Zeus, or slow down Sapphire\u2019s ramp with How Far I\u2019ll Go. This card\u2019s real utility however comes by saving him to nullify potential board wipes from Grab Your Sword or Be Prepared. An extra turn with a wide board in a match-up against a Ruby deck is game-changing. Merlin \u2013 Intellectual Visionary We were a little hesitant to put Merlin \u2013 Intellectual Visionary on this list because he wants for better Shift targets to pull off his key ability. Still, Shimmering Skies added another four-cost Merlin in Sapphire to help out somewhat. The reason he made it in over cards from Ink Colors we\u2019ve missed is because he represents the first true search in the game. While other cards allow you to search for Items, Songs, or Characters with particular keywords, Merlin \u2013 Intellectual Visionary will let you sift through your deck for any card your heart desires, provided you Shift him in. No more hoping and praying for a Lucky Dime or Be Prepared off the top of your deck to close out a game. While it remains to be seen how viable he will be, that prospect is too enticing to completely ignore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 5 most exciting card reveals for Disney Lorcana Shimmering Skies RavensburgerDisney Lorcana\u2019s next set Shimmering Skies is getting closer.
