The countdown clock continues ticking until the early access period for the Into the Inklands expansion set for Disney’s Lorcana begins. Players only have two days until the expansion pack lands at their nearest hobby stores on Friday, February 23.
With exciting new competitive cards, new faces, and new starter decks, Into the Inklands already looks incredible. Alongside these, it was recently discovered that new Into the Inklands cards facilitate a potentially deadly three-card infinite combo! Somewhat remarkably, this isn't the only infinite combo that the new set has spawned!
After scrutinizing some of the new cards, Lorcana players across social media have discovered even more infinite combos! Potentially promising a win in one turn, each of these combos is incredibly interesting and exciting. Whether or not they will be playable, however, is a completely different story entirely.
Call the Titans Combo
This setup, which was suggested by Scuddario on Reddit, centers on the attributes of the Hades, Hotheaded Ruler card. Its main ability allows you to Ready any Titan characters on your hand for battle.
Fortunately, there's a synergy between the Titans here. Some of the other Titan cards have abilities that will allow you to cycle them until you get back to Hades.
The setup is not so difficult and could require only four Titans on your hand. The circle can begin with playing the Ice Titan Hydros and exerting Stratos. The next step is to ready Pyros to challenge and banish an enemy, which gives you another free hand to ready your next character.
Use Hades this time, and ready all your other Titans. You can go back to putting Pyros into play and trigger Hades, while Stratos gains Lore from all of the Titan cards that you have ready.
The combination of all the Titan cards in the new Into the Inklands set can bring a devastating attack that can decimate, if not eliminate, your opponent’s deck in a single turn while gaining valuable Lore.
However, the cost of ink can be hefty for the player. In addition, the opponent would need to put out characters weaker than Pyros. Otherwise, the player cannot bring Hades into the field and trigger the combo.
Pride Lands Infinite Lore Combo
This setup is perfect if you’re aiming to win quickly through points. The premise is that the character card Merlin will gain up to 20 Lore and gets you closer to your intended victory.
Start your play by exerting a dry Merlin, then play your first Madam Mim, which you will have to banish for this combo to work. On your next turns, put two Pride Lands cards into play. Afterward, move one Simba, Protective Cub to each of your Pride Lands cards.
The Pride Lands setup with one Simba, Protective Cub card each will render Madam Mim’s casting cost to zero, allowing you to play a second Madam Mim card and start the combo.
The second Madam Mim card will allow you to bring back the banished one from the pile and trigger Merlin’s effect, which will gather 1 Lore for every character brought back to your hand. You know the drill - rinse and repeat until Merlin has gathered 20 Lore.
While effective once the requisite cards have been set up, the main drawback to this strategy is the number of turns it requires to put everything in place. At various points, the critical cards to this combo are vulnerable to being banished by your opponent.
You all might be itching to give these combos a try, and you don’t have to wait long. Early access begins on Friday, February 23. Make sure to drop by your local hobby stores and check if they have the Into the Inklands expansion set available.
