When I think ofDisney, I think of the Princesses. They’re in a league of their own for how iconic they are, not only in their own right as legendary movie characters, but as symbols for Disney itself. They rank as highly as Mickey as representations of Disney’s movie magic, and collectively are probably responsible for creating more Disney fans than any other group within the House of Mouse.Naturally, they already have a lot ofLorcanacards.
As a card carrying, fully paid up Disney Adult, each new Lorcana reveal has been excellent to watch. We have the full roster now, so working with what we have, I’ve tried to construct the ideal deck for princess magic. These are not going to be meta-dominant decks, but they will be game legal, meaning they will have 60 cards, no more than four copies of any given card, and only two inks per deck.
Deck 1: Elsagate
Elsa is my favourite Disney Princess (technically she’s not one, but they’re my cards and what I say goes), and she’s well represented in Disney Lorcana. Because she spans two Inks, this is going to be Amethyst and Ruby, mixing power with guile.

Elsa has four variants in this deck, meaning over a quarter of the deck is pure Elsa. After that, Moana, Mulan, and Tinker Bell help round it out. This is an aggressive deck with Anna and Elsa working together and some big cards scoring points quickly. You can also easily ramp into Elsa, Spirit of Winter, simply by shifting onto one of the other, cheaper Elsas, like Queen Regent.
Deck 2: Jasabelle
Jasmine and Belle make up the name, but Aurora and Ariel also make the cut. This deck is unique among ones we’ve seen so far, as it relies on Sapphire cards alone in a mono-ink deck, which might not be a smart choice, but it’s the most Princess-y colour. And we’re here for the flavour, not the wins.
This is a midrange deck that goes slow and steady a lot of the time, taking limited risks and slowly building up your lore count. As long as you can outlast your opponent and wait for their deck to run out of gas, it can quietly take the win.
Deck 3: The Edge of the Water
Amber and Ruby is a great combination, as Amber heals Ruby’s more reckless front-foot style of play. It also means we can get a great Ariel/Moana deck going.
This deck is perhaps one of the most Princess-synergistic of the four, as Moana, of Motunui lets you get your Princesses ready while the deck’s main play is to heal and sing until the game is won. Be Prepared is a bit of a leap, but we need songs and, while Amber is the most song-heavy ink, Ruby doesn’t have enough without it.
Deck 4: The Outsiders
There are currently 13 official Disney Princesses, with Anna and Elsa as close to official as an Unofficial Princess can get. However, over the years the likes of Megara, Jane Porter, Kida, Tinker Bell, and a host of others have cosied up to the Princesses without making the cut.
This deck is for all the shoulda woulda couldas out there, and is made of Emerald and Steel. It also includes Kronk, a Disney Princess in my heart. This is a disruption heavy deck, breaking up your opponent’s tactics and stopping them from playing cards freely.
Please note that these decks are for thematic purposes only and if you get your ass kicked playing them TheGamer assumes no responsibility. Lorc at your own risk.
