Exploring the Design Space of Dual-Ink Cards in Lorcana

By: Luxcana and Danxor The article discusses the impact of dual-Ink cards in the 2025 expansion of Lorcana, highlighting their potential to revolutionize the game's strategy. Unlike Magic: The Gathering (MTG), which relies on a complex mana system, Lorcana uses a simplified Ink system. Dual-Ink cards require two different colors of Ink, offering exciting synergies but introducing design challenges, particularly around balance and power. A key issue is managing the "stat budget"—the strength and abilities of cards relative to their cost—since dual-Ink cards can be easily accessed without a traditional resource system. The challenge is ensuring these cards are not overpowered, which could lead to an overly luck-based game. To address this, dual-Ink cards tend to be higher-cost, often requiring strategic planning to use effectively. The cards fall into two categories: minor deck improvements, which enhance existing strategies without disrupting the meta, and major "build-around-me" bombs, which are powerful cards that inspire new deck archetypes. These major cards could help underrepresented Ink pairings become viable in competitive play, fostering a more diverse metagame. The introduction of dual-Ink cards offers the potential for dynamic, creative deck-building and a more diverse competitive landscape. However, careful balancing will be necessary to ensure that they don't overshadow other strategies or break the pacing of the game. Ultimately, dual-Ink cards are a promising addition to Lorcana, offering new strategic possibilities while preserving the game's accessibility.
