If you’re new to Disney Lorcana or still getting the hang of the mechanics, your best bet is to start with a starter deck. Building a deck from scratch can be overwhelming at first, but once you’re comfortable, custom decks are the way to go! Why? Because you can mix in the best cards from expansions and create powerful synergies.

Of course, like any TCG, there are deck-building rules—so no, you can’t just throw in every card you love. And with Dual-Ink cards, things get even trickier! Ready to level up from starter decks? It’s time to get creative!
Dual-Ink Cards, Explained
Dual-Ink cards are a brand-new mechanic introduced in the Archazia’s Island expansion. Unlike regular cards, these have two Ink icons instead of one, shaking up the usual deck-building rules. Normally, you follow three main rules when building a deck:
- Your deck must have at least 60 cards.
- You can include up to four copies of the same card.
- Your deck can only contain cards from one or two Ink types.
Dual-Ink cards bend that last rule a bit. Typically, you’d build your deck using cards from one or two of the six Inks—like an Amber-only deck or a Ruby & Emerald mix. But Dual-Ink cards feature two Ink symbols, meaning they fit into decks with either of those Inks.
To determine if a card is Dual-Ink, simply check the Ink symbols below its name—if there are two, it’s a Dual-Ink card. Another way to tell is by looking at the banner behind the card’s name. Regular cards have a single color based on their Ink type, while Dual-Ink cards feature two colors.
For example, Pascal, Garden Chameleon has Amber Ink and Amethyst Ink. If your deck is Amber & Ruby, you can include Pascal because it has Amber. If your deck is Amethyst & Ruby, Pascal still works because it has Amethyst.
Each Ink type in the game represents a different playstyle (or personality). With Dual-Ink cards, you can mix playstyles and create unique synergies. But be careful! Just because a Dual-Ink card can go in your deck doesn’t mean it should. Make sure it actually helps your strategy—otherwise, it’s just taking up space!
