Summary
There are many classifications for character cards inDisney’s Lorcana. And a few of them have less to do if the character is a hero, villain, princess, etc. These are Storyborn, Dreamborn, and Floodborn characters. Dreamborn characters are new takes on the familiar characters of Disney movies and franchises, allowing them to have a new appearance and powers.
You may be wondering, of all the Dreamborn characters, which are the most powerful? This list will explore more than the inklands by looking at the best Dreamborn cards. So, in the words of Peter Pan, come on everyone, here we go!
These Dreamborn cards are ranked based on strength and utility.
10Minnie Mouse, Stylish Surfer
Hanging Ten In The Ten Spot
There was a time when Minnie would have found herself surfing further up the list, but meta shifts and changes have caused her to be taken out of a number of decks. However, that’s not to say she doesn’t have her strengths still. The first of which is her Evasive ability, making it so that only other Evasive characters can challenge her.
Because it takes other Evasive cards to even touch her, Minnnie can quietly stay on the board and gather up two lore for you every round. And, if another character can come for her, her willpower of three can help keep her safe from a good number of characters. Actions like Fire The Cannons! can remove her, but she still has staying power.
9Mickey Mouse, Brave Little Tailor
The Mister And Misses, Side By Side
Speaking of Evasive characters,Mickey Mouse, Brave Little Tailor is a cost eight card that does, roughly, what Minnie does. He can stay on the field for a while if your opponent has nothing they can do about these slippery, Evasive characters. But he’ll be getting twice as much lore as Minnie on each turn.
And, although on any other card, a strength and willpower of five would make this cost eight card not worth it, it is a lot for other characters in this same ability pool. That means your biggest enemies are going to beItem, Action, and Song cards that take aim at characters, removing them from the board. Or a character with an ability designed to banish folks.
8Stitch, Carefree Surfer
Just like in the movie Lilo & Stitch, Stitch does better when he’s got some family beside him, so it’s fitting that its ability is named Ohana. Whenever you bring this character onto the field, if you already have two others in play, you can draw two cards.
Card draw is a big part of Lorcana and can give you an advantage over your enemy by quickly getting everything you need in your hand and ready to go. On top of the card draw, this Stitch has a willpower of eight, meaning it can be tough to get rid of him. The longer it takes, the more lore he can gather for you.
7Baloo, Von Bruinwald XIII
No Stranger To “Best Of” Lists
Baloo is anAmber Bodyguard card, but that’s only half of what makes him a strong character to have in your deck, as his ability, Let’s Make Like A Tree, grants you two lore when Baloo is banished. This ability, on its own, is strong because either your opponent has to decide to leave him alone, or to just rip the band-aid off and give you the two exit lore.
But, because of being a Bodyguard, your enemy can’t challenge your other characters until they’ve dealt with Baloo. This forces your opponent to take Baloo out because if they don’t, you’ll just keep filling your board with characters that can gain more lore or cause more damage to their field.
6Prince Eric, Expert Helmsman
On The Way To Save The Day
Keeping with the theme of being better banished, Prince Eric, Expert Helmsman sails onto the scene. A cost four card with only two strength and willpower would, otherwise, be a bad card and wouldn’t find itself within ten feet of a best ten list. But, again, his ability makes it all make sense.
Surprise Maneuver doesn’t gain you extra lore. Instead, when Eric is banished, you can choose any character and banish them as well. This allows him to take out the biggest threat, not just the character that’s done him in, and if your foe leaves him alone, he can keep gathering you two lore at a time.
5Piglet, Pooh Pirate Captain
The Little Piglet That Could
This Piglet, much like Stitch, Carefree Surfer, is better with a crowd. If you have two or more characters on the field, then he gains two lore. And, besides getting up to four lore at a time, there’s another important part of this character, and that’s their classification as botha pirateand a captain.
You may look at that sweet face and think pirate? There’s no way. Yes way, this Piglet fits snuggly into a pirate deck and can give benefits and gain a benefit from characters that do better with a captain on the field. An example is Mr. Smee, Bumbling Mate. He’s a strong card, but his ability damages him unless you have a captain on the field, like, yes, Piglet.
4Hades, Infernal Schemer
A Downright Dangerous Deity
This card shows its usefulness as soon as they are brought onto the field, everything else is icing on the top. As soon as you play Hades, you can choose any of the opposing characters on the field and, instead, place them into your opponent’s inkwell. This allows you to target a character that, otherwise, would be giving you or your characters a really hard time.
Beyond that, a willpower of six isn’t bad at all, plus you may quest for two ink each turn with Hades while he remains in play. And, if you’re using a Sapphire and Amber deck, you can use them as a shift target for Hades, King Of Olympus. This will be stronger still if you have a villain deck.
3Mickey Mouse, Detective
Investigating Why Your Opponent Is Losing
This Mickey Mouse helps you ramp quickly, meaning that it helps you fill your inkwell, allowing you to play stronger cards than your opponent. He achieves this by allowing you to take the top card of your deck and place it into your inkwell, exerted. Now, granted, you don’t control what card goes into your inkwell, like you do when you choose and place a card there yourself, but being able to place two cards there in one turn is powerful.
He also makes for an excellent shift target for the handful of Mickey Mouse cards with that ability. His Artful Rogue, Musketeer Captain, and Playful Sorcerer cards all can shift on top of this Detective variant, making it versatile and worth having in decks that combine Sapphire with Emerald, Amber, or Steel.
2Prince John, Greediest Of All
Did You Feel That Shiver?
If you’ve had this card used against you, you could be entitled to financial compensation. This card highlighted the power of being able to draw cards as his ability, I Sentence You, allows you to draw a card for every card your opponent discards. And, with cards like A Whole New World, you can force that to happen easily.
In addition to that, it’s a little difficult to get rid of him, as he never has a reason to quest; sure, he can gather two lore every round he does, but if he stays on the field, you can keep drawing more and more, getting you stronger or more useful cards to play. And with Ward, the only way he can be targeted is through challenges, so if you see him exerted, pounce.
1Ursula, Deceiver Of All
Keep Singing!
She self-actualizes her own quote from The Little Mermaid, but instead of relying on Ariel to sing, she takes the mic instead. Although she doesn’t havethe Singer ability, if you use her to sing a song, you can immediately play that song again from your discard pile. If you do, you then return the song to the bottom of your deck instead of leaving it discarded.
Now, that does limit the songs that benefit from this, but there aresome powerful cost three and lower songsin Lorcana. Friends On The Other Side lets you draw two cards, meaning you’ll be gaining four cards total; there are so many options, and all make her a fantastic card to have in your deck.
