The Best Dragon Cards In Disney Lorcana

Disney’s Lorcana TCG brings together some of the greatest animated characters of all time under one game. Lorcana also has plenty of Dragons to use from the film Raya and the Last Dragon, Sleeping Beauty, and The Sword and the Stone. Now the question is which of these dragons reigns supreme?

While Sisu dominates the card game with the most dragon printings, they all do different things. You also have characters like Mim and Maleficent who might just be stronger dragons all on their own. So let them fight and see which dragon comes out on top.

9 Sisu, Wise Friend

A Barebones Sisu

For six ink, Sisu Wise Friend can come out with a whopping six and willpower. This card also generates two lore each time it quests. Other than that, it doesn’t have any other defining traits. It doesn’t even have a keyword.

On the bright side, it can be inked to boost your inkwell if it finds its way into your deck at all. It is not the greatest dragon card or even the most powerful Sisu card. However, if you want to complete your collection, you might as well pick one copy up from Ursula’s Return.

8 Sisu, In Her Element

A Slightly Less Expensive Beatstick

If anything, Sisu In Her Element is a good beat stick for when you want to knock some heads. At the cost of five ink, Sisu In Her Element has a base strength of three and a willpower of six. When challenging, Sisu gets two extra power, which helps bring this card up to five strength.

Brute strength does not win games though, and this Sisu is all muscle with nothing else going for it. With so many other fantastic amethyst cards with better effects to invest in, this Sisu falls short. At least it costs five instead of six.

7 Sisu, Uniting Dragon

An Amethyst Card With Potential

Sisu Uniting Dragon is a bit slow but also doesn’t do much outside of questing for lore and challenging other characters. With a cost of four ink, you can have this amethyst Sisu with three strength and willpower.

Questing gives you the chance to look at the top card of your deck. If it’s a dragon, you can add it to your hand. If not, then you can place it on the top of your deck to draw next time or place it at the bottom. However, despite the lack of dragon cards, it has plenty of potential since it can repeat this effect as long as you keep drawing dragons. It just needs more dragons in the game to reach full power.

6 Sisu, Divine Water Dragon

A Slow Draw In A Quick Game

Sisu Divine Water Dragon is a card that looks good on paper but is not able to outshine other cards. This sapphire Sisu costs four ink to bring out. It also has a strength of two and a willpower of four.

The main issue with this card is that it needs to quest before you can draw a card. Sure, you get to see two cards and pick the one you need the most, but it is too slow. Some of the best draw cards allow you to do so when you play them. This helps you keep up with the speed of the game. At least this Sisu guarantees you one card if you manage to quest with it.

5 Sisu, Emboldened Warrior

Ramping Up Strength

Sisu Emboldened Warrior is a ruby card that can trample over anything if the conditions are right. This card gains an additional strength for each card your opponent has in their hand. While this can be powerful if your opponent has their hand full, you generally don’t want to root for them to keep drawing more, even if it does power up Sisu.

On the other hand, Lorcana can be played with more than two players, which is where Sisu pops off. This is because Sisu gets the gains for all of your opponent’s hands, not just one.

4 Madam Mim, Purple Dragon

Bounce Card Back To Your Hand

A seven-cost card that has a five in strength and seven in willpower doesn’t seem that bad. Madam Mim Purple Dragon also has Evasive and can generate a whopping four lore each time you decide to quest with it.

Being able to bounce back two cards back to your hand is also a good effect. However, it is slightly more restrictive than you think. Bouncing two characters is much more difficult when it is a requirement for keeping Mim on the board once you play it. If you don’t have two characters, it becomes a dead card in your hand.

3 Sisu, Daring Visitor

Early Game Banishes

Sisu Daring Visitor is a great early-game card for getting rid of weak, pesky characters. While it only has one strength and one willpower, Sisu makes up for it by having the Evasive keyword and being able to banish one character on play.

The character banished needs to have one strength or less but this works out since many of the early-game characters your opponent will play will most likely be weak anyway. This can give you some control of the board and prevent your opponent from questing or gaining positive effects for having those characters on the board. Evasive also helps it stay on the board long enough to get more powerful Sisu out.

2 Sisu, Empowered Sibling

The Most Powerful Sisu Card

If you’re playing a lower Sisu card, then Sisu Empowering Sibling is the next step toward preparing for the late game. While this card costs eight ink to bring out, it gets a significant discount if you have another Sisu character in play. This lets you bring Sisi Empowering Sibling out at six ink.

With a solid five strength and four willpower, Sisu can help you trample over some of your opponent’s characters when you challenge. However, with three lore generation per quest, this card can also help you hit your lore count for victory. Most importantly, you get to banish every character on your opponent’s side of the field with two or less power.

1 Maleficent, Monstrous Dragon

Lorcana’s Signature Dragon

Despite all the dragon cards, Maleficent Monstrous Dragon is one of the best cards to bring out. With a strength of seven and a willpower of five, it towers over many other characters in the game. It also lets you choose one of your opponent’s characters to banish.

While it may seem more enticing to get rid of multiple characters with a single play, Maleficent trumps that by allowing you to choose and not having any other restrictions for doing so other than paying the card’s ink cost. This just makes it more versatile regardless of the situation. Do you need something gone? Banish it.
