Prime Day is now in day three, don't think about it for too long, which means that we're over halfway through the immense sales event. There are plenty of things on sale, but outside of all the usual stuff like laptops and TVs, there are also some really good toys on sale. One great example of this is this Lorcana box. Lorcana is the Disney-infused TCG that's been doing great ever since it launched, and this Archazia's Island box is currently 25% off. There's no telling how long this deal will last though, so if you want it, snap it up. The Archazia's Island set only released in March of this year, and while Reign of Jafar is newer, this one still has a lot of excellent cards that are seeing plenty of play. The game itself is a blast, and getting a whole box means plenty of chances to open up some amazing new legendary cards to add to your collection, or maybe even complete a couple of decks. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. This is a great gift for any Lorcana fan, whether they're a veteran or brand-new to the game.

Exclusive: Legendary Bambi Card Joins Disney Lorcana in Set 8
Disney Lorcana from Ravensburger has been gaining traction in the trading card space for a couple of years now, and it's one of my favorite card games to play at my local game store. We especially like new set day where we can try out new cards and new game types like Pack Rush. Today, May 6, Ravensburger has shown off cards from set eight, Reign of Jafar, that comes out on May 30, 2025. I was lucky enough to get three of the cards to show you, and I think they just might be the cutest of the lot. The Reign of Jafar leads off from the events in Lorcana's last set, Archazia's island, and previous sets involving the Hexwell Crown. Jafar has reforged the crown and used it to transform the island into his new domain. That means the entire island is far less cute than it used to be, full of scary illusions, and a lot of the fairer denizens are in hiding. That being said, there are still a few cute animals to be had in set eight, including the introduction of Lorcana's first Legendary card from the classic franchise, Bambi. Twitterpated Ravensburger Twitterpated is a low-cost card that gives any of your characters the tag Evasive. In Lorcana, Evasive keeps your characters from being challenged by anyone unless they also have the Evasive tag. This is especially helpful if you have a big, three-lore hitter that you want to keep around. Anything that can keep your cards alive for an extra round is worth having in your deck. It can also be used as ink if you need it. It could also pair nicely with a new legendary card called Bambi: Little Prince. Bambi: Little Prince Ravensburger This new legendary card looks incredibly cute, and also looks like it could be a card to watch. It only costs three ink -- though it's not inkable itself -- and it gives you a lore as soon as you play using the action Say hello. The second action, Kind of bashful, works well with that, as it returns Bambi to your hand when your opponent plays a character, giving you a chance to trigger Say hello again. Even if you don't trigger those actions, you can give Bambi Evasive using the Twitterpated card -- if you're running Ruby/Amethyst that is --and use the three lore he has as standard. Faline: Playful Fawn Ravensburger Faline: Playful Fawn is a rare card for the Ruby set, and has some interesting parts to her card. It's a four-cost, non-inakble card with a decent willpower and comes with Evasive as standard. Its secondary power is interesting, though, as it can gain an extra two lore if you have a character that has more strength than each of your opponent's characters. To make that work, you'll need some hard hitters from the Ruby or Amethyst sets to keep Faline useful. Something like Lyle Tiberius Rourke: Crystalized Mercenary, or Goofy: Extreme Athlete from Archazia's Island would work well. The Reign of Jafar set has a lot of darker-themed cards from what we normally see from Lorcana, which makes sense as the storyline is a darker one than set seven. Introducing Bambi into that kind of dark scenario is a good call, as it brings an element of cuteness and fun to these troubling times. Set seven, Reign of Jafar, will be released in your local game stores on May 30, 2025, and will be released wider on June 7. For more information, check out the full release details at Ravensburger.
