Disney Lorcana: Archazia’s Island Starter Deck (Ruby & Sapphire)

Welcome to Archazia’s Island – where friendly pets abound and an ancient secret awaits​! Dive into Disney Lorcana Set 7: Archazia’s Island with the Ruby & Sapphire Starter Deck, a ready-to-play 60-card deck that introduces the new dual-ink card mechanic​. Featuring beloved Disney characters like Belle and Beast in exclusive foil cards, this deck combines two ink colors for a unique Ruby/Sapphire synergy​. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned Illumineer, Archazia’s Island (Ruby & Sapphire) offers an engaging gameplay experience designed for casual play and strategic depth for competitive players.

Key Features & Playstyle

• Dual-Ink Belle & Beast: Lead your team of glimmers with Belle – Mechanic Extraordinaire and Beast – Frustrated Designer, two holographic dual-ink cards exclusive to this deck​. These Ruby/Sapphire glimmers harness the bold power of Ruby ink and the savvy ingenuity of Sapphire ink, unlocking combos otherwise impossible with a single color​. (Dual-ink cards can only be used in decks matching both ink types, so this pair truly shines in a Ruby/Sapphire deck​.)
• Strategic Ruby & Sapphire Synergy: The Ruby ink brings action-oriented offense and daring challenges, while the Sapphire ink provides strategic support through wisdom and item-based abilities. Together, they form a versatile playstyle that lets you control the game’s pace and ramp up to powerful late-game cards. This balanced approach is easy to learn for new players yet offers plenty of tactical depth to satisfy veterans. You can quest for lore with confidence, thwart rivals with well-timed actions, and leverage item cards (like Maurice’s Machine) to turn the tide in your favor – all hallmarks of the Ruby/Sapphire strategy.
• Iconic Disney Characters: Enjoy a deck filled with familiar faces from across the Disney universe. Beauty and the Beast characters take center stage (with Belle, Beast, Cogsworth, and Maurice making an appearance)​. You’ll also find cards inspired by Tangled, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Wreck-It Ralph, and The Aristocats within this deck​. From daring adventurers to mischievous critters, the card list is a Disney fan’s dream, each featuring original artwork from the Archazia’s Island expansion (over 200 new pieces in Set 7​). Every card not only adds gameplay value but also showcases gorgeous art that collectors will love.
• Engaging for All Players: This Starter Deck is designed and tested by Team Lorcana to be an ideal entry point into the game​. If you’re new to trading card games or Disney Lorcana, you can jump right in with no deck-building required – the deck is fun and competitive straight out of the box​. For experienced players, the Ruby & Sapphire deck offers a fresh meta experience with the new dual-ink mechanics and a foundation to build upon. Upgrade and customize it with the included booster pack or your collection to further enhance its strengths. It’s a great way to learn the rules, explore new mechanics, and still have room to grow as you refine your strategy.

Strategic Advantage of Ruby & Sapphire

The Ruby & Sapphire ink combination is known for its dynamic gameplay that can adapt to many situations. Ruby’s strength lies in aggression and direct tactics – Ruby glimmers often excel at challenging opponents’ characters and pushing for an early lead. Sapphire, on the other hand, contributes intellect and support, often providing card draw, item synergy, and control effects that can manipulate the game state. Together, they create a control-oriented midrange deck that can both defend and strike when the moment is right​. Players can use Ruby’s bold actions to remove threats or gain lore quickly, while leveraging Sapphire’s tools and items to sustain their advantage and outwit opponents in the long game.

Notable mechanics and cards in this deck may include abilities that increase your ink (allowing you to play bigger cards faster) and actions that turn the tides during confrontations. For example, Belle’s inventive nature and Beast’s raw strength illustrate how combining inks lets you access powerful effects that a single-ink deck might lack. By mastering this deck, you’ll learn to balance offense and defense, making calculated moves until you can unleash your most powerful glimmers. It’s a fantastic way to experience the new dual-ink gameplay and discover combos between cards – perfect for creative players who enjoy flexibility in strategy.

Upgrade Tip: Once you’re comfortable, you can further enhance the Ruby & Sapphire deck by mixing in cards from booster packs or other sets. This deck provides a strong core for a Ruby/Sapphire control deck, so adding extra draw cards, removal actions, or high-lore characters from the Archazia’s Island set (or earlier sets) can make it even more formidable. Whether you keep it as-is for casual fun or tweak it for competitive play, this starter is a solid foundation for your Disney Lorcana adventure.
