Attack of the Vine Has Us Chasing Double-Character Cards

We are still new to Lorcana. Wilds Unknown was our starting line, and honestly we have been keeping it simple ever since, just digging through bulk Lorcana at our local shops to slowly fill in that first binder. So we did not expect the next set to have us this excited already. Then we started looking through Attack of the Vine, and, well, here we are.

What Attack of the Vine actually is

Attack of the Vine is the next Disney Lorcana set, landing wide on July 24, 2026, with a prerelease at local game stores on July 17. It is a big one at 207 cards, and it wraps up a story that has been building across the last year, with a mysterious Vine spreading across the world and even twisting some classic Disney villains into new forms.

For us the story stuff is fun, but the real draw is the same thing that pulled us into Lorcana in the first place: it is another set stuffed with our favorite movies. There are glimmers from Up, Monsters, Inc., and Turning Red in here, alongside returning favorites like Toy Story, Lilo & Stitch, and Aladdin. More Toy Story and more Incredibles-era Pixar in our binder is never going to be a hard sell in this house.

The double-character cards we are each chasing

The cards we keep coming back to are the ones that put two characters together on a single card. They use the set's Shift twist, and we are not the competitive-play family so we will leave the rules breakdown to folks who play, but as collectors? Two favorites sharing one frame is exactly the kind of card we want in a binder.

What is funny is that we each landed on a different chase without really planning it. Collector R called Woody & Buzz almost immediately. Collector Sis is all in on Lilo & Stitch. And Collector Dad keeps circling back to Aladdin & Genie.

Three of us, three different double-character chases, one set. That is the kind of thing that makes a release fun as a family instead of a race.

The Carl & Ellie connected art

There is one more that Collector Dad cannot stop thinking about. Carl and Ellie get a pair of cards whose art connects when you set them next to each other, and if you have seen Up, you already know why that one hits.

It is a simple idea done really well, and it is the first card I have wanted purely to display rather than to tick off a checklist.

How we will actually get it

Now for the honest part. We are a pack-here-and-there family, and we have not decided how we will buy into Attack of the Vine yet. It also does not help that actually finding product on a shelf has been rough lately. For now our Lorcana routine is still bulk bins and singles to build out that Wilds Unknown binder, and we may just keep doing exactly that.

We are also starting to think about bringing our Lorcana collection into the digital binders here on the site, so you could follow the Wilds Unknown build the same way you can follow our Pokémon binders. No promises on timing yet, it is something we are working toward, but it feels like the natural next step now that Lorcana has a real hold on us.

So which double-character card would you be chasing out of this one? If you are further into Lorcana than we are and have thoughts on the best way to buy in, we would genuinely take the advice. Come tell us over on YouTube, or tag us @Adventure_Coll on X.
