Disney’s Lorcana Fabled Expansion: Elsa and Other Iconic Cards
Disney’s Fabled has reshaped how Lorcana is collected and played.
The expansion introduces rotation, leans heavily on reprints from the earliest chapters, and adds two new rarity tiers that change what’s considered a chase card.
Frozen has a strong presence across the game, and in Fabled, it gets a dedicated spotlight through one of the most talked-about collector products of 2025: the Elsa Gift Box.
Between new rarities, card rotation, and some genuinely beautiful designs, Fabled is a set worth taking a closer look at.
What Is the Fabled Expansion?
Fabled is the ninth main set in Disney Lorcana, released earlier this year. Instead of focusing on a large wave of brand-new cards, the set is designed around a structural shift in how the game is played and collected.
The Fabled Expansion:
- Introduces card rotation, cycling out cards from the first four sets
- Brings back key early cards through reprints, keeping them accessible under the new format
- Adds two new rarity tiers, Epic and Iconic
Alongside the reprints, the set includes a smaller selection of new cards, featuring characters from franchises like A Goofy Movie. In total, Fabled contains 204 main cards, with the majority coming from earlier releases.
New Rarities: Epic and Iconic
Fabled is also where Lorcana adds two new rarity tiers, and visually, they’re hard to miss.

Epic cards slot in between Legendary and Enchanted. There are 18 Epics in the set, and they’re designed to stand out without feeling over-the-top. They feature frameless, open-air artwork, tinted text, and new foil treatments that make them feel special the moment you pull one. |

Iconic cards, which are now the rarest cards in the game. Rarer than Enchanted, each set includes only two Iconics. These go all in on presentation, with full-card alternate artwork, a custom foil pattern, and a subtle 3D hot-stamp effect. |
From a collector standpoint, the new rarities make Fabled more fun to open. Epics give you something genuinely exciting to chase without relying entirely on Enchanted pulls, while Iconics sit firmly in “if you get lucky, you’ll know” territory.
Collector Standout: The Elsa Gift Box:
Released in October 2025, the Elsa Gift Box quickly became one of the most sought-after Lorcana products of the year.
What’s inside:
- One exclusive glimmer foil promo card: Elsa – The Fifth Spirit, featuring all-new art
- Five assorted booster packs from various Lorcana sets
- One Elsa-themed storage box
- Three punch-out card dividers
This product hits multiple collector sweet spots at once. You get exclusive art, sealed packs for ripping or holding, and a display-friendly box that actually feels intentional instead of disposable.
For Frozen fans especially, Elsa – The Fifth Spirit isn’t just another version of the character.
Elsa Deck Strategies (For Collectors Who Also Play)
If you do play Lorcana, Elsa – The Fifth Spirit slots cleanly into control and tempo-focused strategies.
Common approaches include:
- Using Elsa as a disruption piece that forces opponents to slow down
- Pairing her with Amethyst/Sapphire shells that emphasize control, ink efficiency, and late-game stability
- Starting with a prebuilt or themed product and upgrading slowly with singles
Even if you’re not chasing tournament wins, decks like this are fun to pilot and make great use of a card you already want to collect.
Popular Fabled Cards Collectors Are Chasing
Beyond Elsa, Fabled is getting attention because it’s actually a good set to buy if you missed some of the earlier releases.
In a Reddit thread about the set, one collector summed it up:
 |
With rotation now part of Lorcana, that makes sense. Fabled helps newer collectors fill gaps without hunting down older sealed product.
Another newer player shared a similar take in the same thread:

Between the new rarity tiers and how approachable the set feels, Fabled manages to be both fun to open and a great entry point to anyone who’s just getting into Lorcana.
The Perfect Binder to Pair with Lorcana Cards
It’s hard not to get pulled in by Lorcana’s artwork, even if you aren’t a huge Disney fan. Fabled leans into softer tones, storybook-style illustrations, and cooler colors.
If you’re pairing a binder with these cards, choosing one that matches the Fabled color palette and complements the Elsa promo helps the collection feel visually complete when it’s all together.
It’s Easy to See Why People Love Lorcana
Disney Lorcana has a way of pulling people in, even if they didn’t expect to care this much about another card game. Between the artwork, the characters, and the way the sets build on each other, it’s easy to get invested.
So, if you’re the kind of collector who likes to slow down, appreciate the art, and curate a binder that tells a story, Fabled is absolutely worth your attention.
