Disney Lorcana Reveals Five More Cards, Including Grandfather Clock Cogsworth
Disney Lorcana ended the week with some new card reveals.
Cogsworth - Grandfather Clock
Cogsworth – Grandfather Clock is a 5-cost Sapphire card with 2 Strength, 5 Willpower, and 2 Lore. Not only is this a Shift card that can be brought out on turn 3, it also has a powerful Unwind ability that gives all other characters Resist +1. Given that Cogsworth – Grandfather Clock also has Ward, which prevents it from being targeted, it's possible to get Cogsworth – Grandfather Clock out early and keep him play for a while to give your other cards a powerful buff.
Cogsworth - Talking Clock
Cogsworth – Talking Clock is a 2-cost Sapphire card with 2 Strength, 3 Willpower, and 1 Lore. Cogsworth has a powerful "Wait a Minute" ability that allows characters with Reckless to be exerted and gain 1 Lore instead. Reckless characters can't quest, so this provides them with a way to generate lore and also essentially cancels out the Reckless keyword, which can be placed on characters by certain cards.
Bounce
Bounce is a 2-cost Action card that allows a player to return a character to their hand and also forces an opponent to return a character to their hand. This is a versatile Action card with some great uses – it can pull a damaged card back to a player's hand, allowing them to re-play it without any damage. It can also clear a potentially tricky character from play, such as a Bodyguard character or a card with a strong ability. We'll also note that Bounce syncs up well with the already revealed Merlin – Shapeshifter card, which gains lore every time a character is returned to their player's hand.
The Prince - Never Gives Up
The Prince – Never Gives Up is a 3-cost Steel card with 1 Strength, 3 Willpower, and 2 Lore. This Prince (who appears to be the Prince from Snow White) is a great early game character who can collect 2 lore and then draw in opposing challenges to protect weaker cards. The Bodyguard/Resist combo will likely be a standard for Steel cards, with Bodyguard forcing opponents to target certain cards, while Resist +1 reduces damage and potentially keeps The Prince alive for a second round.
Flynn Rider - Confident Vagabond
Flynn Rider – Confident Vagabond is a 1-cost Emerald card with 1 Strength, 3 Willpower, and 1 Lore. This new Flynn Rider is a bit of a downgrade from The First Chapter's Flynn Rider – Charming Rogue, with no ability and only 1 Lore (albeit at a lower ink cost.) The big takeaway from this card is that a third Flynn Rider card could be coming in Rise of the Floodborn. The artwork of this card not only features the Flynn Rider card from the first set as one of the pictures on the tree, there's another Flynn Rider image as well showing hm repelling from a wall (or Rapunzel's tower.)
