As another chapter of Lorcana draws to a close, it’s time once again for the Store Championship!

The first Store Championship got a lot of attention that Lorcana players didn’t expect: The Rock Star Stitch promo awarded to the top four players at every league peaked at $700 on TCGplayer, with some selling for up to $900 on eBay the weekend it was released. The game had already caught the attention of investors, leading to inflated prices and significant product shortages that made the game seem inaccessible to new and casual players, but the sudden surge in prices turned a lot of other investors’ attention to the new game.

The price for the Stitch promo has been in a slow decline, but has not stabilized yet. Rampant speculation on the Ursula’s Return Set Championship promo may mean that dedicated players have another opportunity to add a key card to their collection, or sell it to fund their next build. Or perhaps speculators with ultra-tuned decks will roll into small-town LGSs to snag all of the promos and playmats to flip online. Only time will tell.

On the subject of competitive Lorcana, Illumineers need to be aware that the popular Bucky – Squirrel Squeak Tutor has received a significant errata, changing nearly every aspect of the card in the interest of maintaining a fun experience for other players: Bucky now costs one more to play, loses his Ward keyword, and requires you to use Shift in order to activate his Squeak ability.

This errata significantly changes Bucky’s playability and is a sign of the growing pains Ravensburger is experiencing with the massive success of the game. Hopefully this is a one-time event, and not a portent of things to come.
