Disney Lorcana Meta & Tier List

What people are actually playing, counted from real tournament results. The format just changed: on July 17 the Attack of the Vine rotation reset Core Constructed. Start with what that did, then dig into the data underneath it.

⚠️
The Core format just rotated.

As of the Attack of the Vine release, four sets left Core Constructed: Shimmering Skies, Azurite Sea, Archazia’s Island, Reign of Jafar. Core is now the five newest sets (Fabled, Whispers in the Well, Winterspell, Wilds Unknown, Attack of the Vine). The tournament data on this page is from before the rotation: it is the meta that just ended. Cards marked ⚠ below are no longer Core-legal.

◆ Post-Rotation Watch

The meta everyone knew just got deleted

Rotation didn't nudge the format. It gutted it. The two decks that dominated, Amethyst/Steel and Amethyst/Sapphire, each lost half their staples. No one has post-rotation tournament data yet, so here is the honest starting point: what left, what survived, and which decks kept the most of their core. This is early theory-craft, to be confirmed by the first new events.

Decks higher on this list carried more of their strength through rotation and are the safest bets as the new format opens. The gutted former-kings (bottom) are wide open for a rebuild, which is exactly where a fresh top deck usually comes from.

The meta that just ended

The full tier list from the final pre-rotation tournament data. Tiers blend how common a deck was with how it performed. It is history now, but it is the map everyone is rebuilding from, and the survival badge shows how much of each deck made it through.

How this is built. We ingest public decklists and results from sanctioned Disney Lorcana tournaments, group each deck by its two-ink color pair, and total how often each archetype appears and how it performs. Meta share and win rate come from that tournament data (the window shown above, pre-rotation). Survives rotation is computed live: we check each deck's defining cards against the current Core-legal card pool after the Attack of the Vine rotation. The Post-Rotation Watch is early theory-craft, clearly labeled. We would rather tell you what we can prove and flag what we cannot than pretend we already know the new meta. We refresh all of this as new tournament results come in.

On sample size. Public Lorcana tournament data is thin. This page currently rests on 530 decks from 30 events. That is plenty to say what people are playing, and not enough to say what is winning: at this volume every archetype's win rate sits within the range you would expect from chance alone. Read the win rate column as a hint, never as a verdict. We will say so plainly until the numbers earn more.
