What is Lorcana?

Lorcana is a trading card game (TCG) announced by Disney developed in partnership with designers at Ravensburger. You, as an "illumineer," will summon alternate versions of Disney characters (both heroes and villains) in an attempt to be the first to reach 20 points (called Lore).
It is similar to other TCGs like Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and Pokémon.

What does everyone think about the upcoming rotation (feddit.nu)

I like that they finally have planned in rotation into Lorcana, it will only make the game better. Though I was initally little chocked that they will rotate the first whole block, but I think it makes sense.

I also like the idea of a "core set", like in MtG, where they have lots of reprints of existing cards. Question is how often such core set will be released.

When rotation comes, I will lose about 40 or so cards(!) from my Lemon/Lime deck I just built. Hell, most of my decks will be gutted from rotation. Lets just hope that they will reprint most of the cards that I play.

Rotation is one of the reasons I got out of MTG.

Such a waste of effort to roll in/out sets every other year.

I understand what you mean. Before the announcement I was also kind of hoping that Lorcana would be a eternal format. But after hearing it, and that they will do a "core set" with reprints, I, personally, am all for a yearly rotation. Reprint will (hopefully) lower the cost for some cards.

Rotation is the best way to keep the game from becoming stale and to keep people being creative. And I also hope that the Lorcana team will take lessons learned from the other TCGs to avoid power creep, and just bad card design. And part of that plan is to rotate out older cards.

Would you be interested in the Infinite Construct Format that they announced? That is a new fully supported eternal format, with its own ban pool (I believe they mentioned).
