Summary
Sapphire cards inDisney Lorcanagive you access to ink ramping tactics, powerful card drawing abilities, and ways to make the most of your resources. This way, you always have ink to utilize and, eventually, ways to close out the game. Sapphire can be pretty strong with some cards leading the way to victory quite quickly.
Sapphire has plenty of iconic characters from those that like it shiny and others that act as quirky guides to the future. There are even some items that players hate seeing on the field. Here are the best cards that will fit perfectly into your Sapphire deck.
10Vision Of The Future
A Powerful Draw Card
Vision of the Future is a great card for the early game. It’s inkable and only costs two to use. It lets you look at the top five cards of your deck and add one of them to your hand. It’s a simple effect that works wonders for keeping your hand moving.
While other cards have this same effect, they often cost more because they are attached to characters as abilities. This effect is simple, clean, and doesn’t turn into a brick in your hand.
9Hiram Flaversham, Toymaker
Keep Your Momentum Going
Any card that can let you dig deeper into your deck is key to setting up those game-closing strategies. Hiram Flaversham, Toymaker, lets you exchange your items for card advantage. So one item gets banished and you get two cards in return.
This is a pretty good deal if you have items that you don’t need anymore or can recur later in the game. You also get to use this effect whenever you play this card or whenever it quests. So there are plenty of moments where you can set it off.
Hiram Flaversham, Toymaker is banned in Core Constructed formats, but can still be played in sealed, draft, and casual play.
8Let It Go
Getting Rid Of Annoying Cards
If you are running a Sapphire deck, then you probably also need a way to get rid of annoying cards. When banishing a character is not enough to get rid of it, you can use Let It Go to send it into the inkwell.
This is one of the best songsthat Sapphire has to offer, since it gives you a way to remove cards. It can also be used if you want to keep ramping your inkwell, making the card itself flexible in its uses.
7Great Stone Dragon
Use Your Banished Characters As Ink
Great Stone Dragon is a game-changer when you want to put fallen or discarded characters to good use. You can exert this card to ink a character from your discard pile. This is a lot more flexible than it seems.
This is because it lets you ink previously uninkable characters. So while you can’t ink them from your hand, Great Stone Dragon lets you do it from the discard and bypasses the usual rulings. When you want more ink, awaken the old family dragon.
6Sheriff Of Nottingham, Bushel Britches
Large Quests And Even Bigger Damage
Questing often comes at the expense of not being able to challenge another character. The Support keyword allows characters to lend their strength to a different character for the turn. Sheriff Nottingham, Bushel Britches, has both power and lore generation going through the roof.
While this card costs nine ink to bring out, you can get a discount for each item you have in play. You want to quest with this beefy character since he generates four lore each time. Then you can lend his strength to challenge some of the mightiest characters your opponent might have in play.
5Merlin, Intellectual Visionary
Seeing The Future
Drawing cards is cool but Merlin, Intellectual Visionary does the next best thing. For six ink, or five if you Shift him, you not only get a particularly durable character on the board, but a card search. You’re not drawing this card, you’re actively seeking it out and adding it to your hand.
This search isn’t restricted to characters, items, songs, or anything in between. Do you need it? Go fetch it. This can be quite useful when you have a play in mind but don’t have the card in your hand to make it happen.
4Scrooge McDuck, Resourceful Miser
A Free Body WIth A Search
Scrooge Mcduck, Resourceful Miser is great for item-focused decks. While this character can come out at four ink, you canplay him for free by exerting four of your items. This is great because it doesn’t ask you to banish them either, so they’re still on the board.
When played, you can look at the top four cards of your deck, choose an item that you find there, and add it to your hand. You’re also sending the unchosen cards to the bottom of the deck, which can help cycle out cards you don’t want to see in your next draw.
3Tamatoa, Happy As A Clam
Collecting Shiny Cards
Tamatoa, Happy as a Clam is one of the best Sapphire cards in Archazia’s Island. This is because it lets you get back items from your discard. So banishing your items to play cards or discarding them to pay costs isn’t the end for them.
When Tamatoa hits the field, you get two of those cards back. Then, whenever he quests, you’re able to bring out an item from your hand for free. This also isn’t restricted to the items you got back from the discard. It can also be any item you happen to have in your hand.
2Lucky Dime
One Of The Best Sapphire Items
Gaining lore is the name of the game and Lucky Dime lets you do it without having to quest. It costs seven ink to play, and you can’t ink it through normal means. However, once you have it in play, you can exert it and two ink to copy another character’s lore and generate it.
This does so without exerting the character chosen. So you’re able to potentially double up on lore for the turn. This makes Lucky Dime an essential item card for Sapphire strategies.
1Mufasa, Ruler Of Pride Rock
Kicking Your Inkwell Into Overdrive
Mufasa, Ruler of Pride Rock costs eight ink to bring. Luckily, your inkwell won’t stay exerted for long. On play, you get two of your inked cards back into your hand while everything else in your inkwell gets exerted. This is an essential part for booting up your inkwell later.
You’re going to want to quest with this character since he can generate four lore by doing so. However, the best benefit is stacked on since you also get to ready your entire inkwell during the quest.
Disney Lorcana
Lorcana is a trading card game developed by Disney and published by Ravensburger, featuring iconic characters, settings, and more from the studio’s long history. As an Illumineer, you must build your deck and help protect Lorcana.
