The first box you tear into of a new Disney Lorcana set is always the best one. Every pack you open adds 12 new cards to your collection and 12 new tools for your deck-building toolbox. Even the “bad” cards are exciting to find, especially if you’re a master set collector like me, filling binders with one of every card in each set. I love hunting for new cards as much as playing the actual game, so while it’s not as cost-effective as buying singles, there’s nothing like the thrill of ripping open a fresh booster box.
At least, that was the case before Fabled. The newest Lorcana set represents a fresh start for the TCG, as the first-ever rotation sunsets the first 800-some-odd cards added to the game. Fabled rescues about 170 from the first four sets, making it Lorcana’s first reprint expansion, and consequently, something of a new base set for the game.
