Though Disney Lorcana has only been around since late 2023, in keeping with its status as a Trading Card Game (or TCG), sets have been released so frequently that it’s built up quite the library of available cards already. Numerous sets have been released, and alongside some sets there have even been extra releases, such as Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble.

If you’ve been collecting Lorcana cards over the course of multiple set releases, you might struggle to identify which set each card is a part of. Sure, there are Lorcana card lists you can cross reference, but there’s a much easier way to find out which card a set is from, at a glance.

So let’s take a look at how easily you can do this!

Where Is the Set Code on a Disney Lorcana Card?

Just about every TCG ever released will have some form of set code; depending on the game and how the cards are formatted. Sometimes it’ll be letters, sometimes it’ll be numbers, and other times you may have symbols, or even a combination of the above, to identify which set a card is from in any given TCG.

In Disney Lorcana, if you check out the bottom left of the card, you’ll see a small section with several pieces of important information, such as the name of the artist who illustrated the card, the card’s set number, language, and set code.

In the image above, you can see this area highlighted. The card’s artist is credited as Grace Tran, the card number is 154/204, the language is English (shown as “EN”) and, finally, the set code is 3. The set code number in this instance means that the card is from the third Disney Lorcana set, Into the Inklands.

Location cards are slightly different, as they are (appropriately) landscape, rather than portrait, oriented. The information still appears on the bottom left of the card, however, once it is rotated 90°, as you can see in the below image:

The information is in exactly the same format here: Etienne Savoie as the card artist, 170/204 is the card number, EN denoting the English card and 3 (Into the Inklands) as the set code.

Do note that some special sets or promotional cards may have a slightly different card number (usually incorporating a P for Promo), but they will bear the code of the set that the card was originally printed in.

For example, take a look at the Half Hexwell Crown card above. Even though this version of the card appeared in the Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble box, because the Half Hexwell Crown is a card from the Shimmering Skies set, it has the set code 5.

Which raises the question: what other set codes are there? Let’s take a look.

What Are the Other Disney Lorcana Set Codes and What Do They Mean?

Here’s a complete list of all of the set codes you’ll find on Disney Lorcana cards:

Disney Lorcana Set Number Disney Lorcana Set Name
1 The First Chapter
2 Rise of the Floodborn
3 Into the Inklands
4 Ursula’s Return
Q1 Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble
5 Shimmering Skies
6 Azurite Sea
7 Archazia’s Island
8 Reign of Jafar

Note that many cards in Illumineer’s Quest: Deep Trouble are from a variety of different sets that had been printed up until its release, but it does feature exclusive cards, which are based around its unique solo/co-operative gameplay, and these are marked with the Q1 set code.

So there you have it; now you know exactly how to identify which set any Disney Lorcana set originated from! For more information on Disney Lorcana cards, check out our guide to Disney Lorcana booster pack pull rates, as well as our guide to Storyborn, Dreamborn, and Floodborn cards!
