Quick Answer

Disney Lorcana uses six rarity tiers: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Legendary, and Enchanted Rare. Enchanted Rares are the premium collector tier, with unique alternate art and gold foil treatments. They pull at roughly one per two to four booster boxes and are the most valuable cards in the game.

The Six Lorcana Rarity Tiers

Common cards form the majority of every pack. Commons are the backbone of Lorcana decks: low-cost characters, basic actions, and frequently played items. Most commons trade at under AU$1, with a small number of highly-played commons reaching AU$2 to AU$5 as playsets.

Uncommon cards appear approximately three to four per pack. Uncommons include more complex character abilities and useful action cards. Competitively relevant uncommons trade at AU$1 to AU$10 depending on demand.

Rare cards appear approximately one per pack. These are the mid-tier cards that fill competitive decks with situational effects and specific synergies. Rares with current format relevance trade at AU$5 to AU$25.

Super Rare is a Lorcana-specific tier that sits between Rare and Legendary. Super Rares are premium versions of powerful cards with enhanced foil treatments. They appear approximately once every two to three packs and trade at AU$10 to AU$40 for those in demand.

Legendary is the non-Enchanted top rarity tier. Legendary cards are full-art illustrations of iconic Disney characters at peak moments in their stories. They pull at approximately one per two packs and represent the bread and butter of Lorcana collecting. Legendaries vary widely in secondary market value from AU$5 to AU$80 depending on the character depicted and current competitive demand.

Enchanted Rare is the premium collector tier unique to Lorcana. These alternate-art cards feature completely redrawn illustrations of existing Legendary and Rare cards in a distinct visual style, typically with gold foil treatments and premium card stock finish. Pull rate is approximately one Enchanted per two to four booster boxes. The secondary market value of Enchanted Rares depends almost entirely on the specific Disney character featured.

Reading the Rarity Symbol on Your Lorcana Cards

The rarity symbol appears on the bottom of each card alongside the card number and set symbol. Lorcana uses a gem-like symbol:

A plain gem outline indicates Common. A slightly more ornate gem indicates Uncommon. Progressively more detailed gem treatments indicate Rare, Super Rare, and Legendary. The Enchanted Rare symbol is distinctly different from the Legendary symbol and typically features a different colour treatment to indicate its premium status.

If you are unsure of a card's rarity, the fastest check is the card's visual treatment: a full illustrated border card that fills the entire card face is Legendary or above. An Enchanted Rare will feature different artwork from the standard Legendary version of the same character and will typically have a more elaborate gold foil treatment.

Character Identity and Value

A critical point for Australian Lorcana collectors: within the same rarity tier, the Disney character on the card matters enormously for secondary market value.

An Enchanted Rare of Elsa from Frozen will trade at a significantly higher price than an Enchanted Rare of a lesser-known character from the same set at the same rarity. The Lorcana collector base overlaps heavily with Disney fans, and Disney character popularity maps directly onto secondary market premiums.

Characters with the highest consistent Enchanted premiums in Australia tend to be: Elsa, Moana, Mickey Mouse, Maleficent, Simba, and other characters with multi-generational Disney fanbases. New characters introduced in Lorcana that do not have the same Disney IP recognition trade lower at Enchanted despite identical rarity.

Ink Colour and Rarity Interaction

Lorcana has six ink colours (Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Steel) and each colour has its own Enchanted Rares within a set. The distribution of Enchanted Rares across ink colours means that within any booster box, you might pull an Enchanted Rare of a character from any of the six colours.

Competitive players who focus on specific ink colour combinations may value Enchanted versions of characters from those colours more highly than collectors, and vice versa. This creates a layered market where collector demand and player demand interact at the Legendary and Enchanted tiers.

The C3 Take

Lorcana's rarity system is clear once you understand that Enchanted Rares are the true premium tier and that character identity within that tier matters as much as the rarity itself. New Australian Lorcana collectors sometimes make the mistake of focusing on pulling any Enchanted Rare, when the goal should be pulling the right Enchanted Rare. A set where your favourite Disney character gets the Enchanted treatment is a set worth being excited about. A set where you do not particularly care about the Enchanted pool is a set where buying specific singles from /cards/lorcana makes more sense than opening product.
