Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown Preview: Will Pixar Change the Meta?
Wilds Unknown is almost here, and the Quest Like a Pro crew is back to break down what this new Disney Lorcana set could actually mean for competitive play. In this episode, Noah is joined by Andy “Jukai” Rodriguez and John “Buzz” to review the Wilds Unknown card gallery, starting with the legendary cards and then moving ink by ink through the cards they think could impact Core and Infinity formats. We cover: Which legendaries look real, which ones may need rotation, and which ones might be traps Why Dale, Luisa, Kida, and Lenny may be some of the most important cards to watch How Pixar’s arrival changes the flavor, archetypes, and future of Lorcana Early thoughts on Toy Story, Incredibles, Brave, Snow White, and more What cards could matter now, post-rotation, or in Infinity The usual amount of speculation, bad takes, good jokes, and future receipts As always, these are early impressions based on previews, testing, and competitive instincts. Some takes will age beautifully. Others will be wildly wrong. That’s part of the fun. ~~~ Want to get better at Lorcana faster?
