Lorcana Hyperia City deck guide builds cat glimmers around Thomas O'Malley
A new Hyperia City guide pairs Thomas O'Malley – Savvy Vagabond and Duchess – Cosmopolitan Cat with ink ramp, so players can sing Everything Else Is Obsolete early. Mickey Mouse – Detective ramps on turn three, allowing a cost-5 character on turn four and seven ink on turn five, while Goliath – Clan Leader draws cards. The author expects the 3-cost song to see high-level competitive play even without cat theming.
Hyperia City is the fourteenth set of the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game, and cat glimmers (characters) are prominent in it. Thomas O'Malley has the ability Lucky Break: whenever he quests, all players reveal the top card of their deck. The player who reveals the highest-cost card adds it to their hand, and if there is a tie, both players do. Duchess has Proper Etiquette, which lets her look at the top card of the deck whenever she quests and either keep it on top or put it on the bottom. Her Upper Crust ability gives her one more lore when quested if you control the character with the highest cost on the board.
Everything Else Is Obsolete is a new 3-cost inkable song: look at the top three cards of your deck, put one on the bottom, keep one on top and put one into your inkwell. The guide also leans on a new mechanic, ink drops, which can be spent at any time to pay for 1 ink but, unlike ink, disappear once used. Marie – Caught in the Act has A Little Treat: when she quests, if an opposing character took damage this turn, you gain an ink drop. Shere Khan – Khan Industries CEO has Corner the Market, which gives one ink drop once during your turn when one of your characters banishes an opposing character in a challenge, and New Incentive, which lets a chosen character of yours challenge ready characters this turn when you play him.
A Violet Parr Shift line lets the song be sung immediately: At Wit's End on turn one, then Thomas O'Malley, then Shift Violet Parr – Super Resilient on turn three.
