Over a year since Disney Lorcana released The First Chapter, the newest set - Azurite Sea - is here to take players to tropical locales around the high seas. This also means that characters get new sea-themed glimmers and that the new cards often reflect a pirate aesthetic. Disney movies like Treasure Planet, Big Hero 6, and Lilo & Stitch get to shine, but characters from Winnie the Pooh and Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers are also prominently featured here.

The Illumineer's Trove for Azurite Sea is a perfect representation of both this theme and those beloved Disney IPs. The box itself features Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, Tigger, Stitch, and Baymax from Big Hero 6. The first three are all fitted out in pirate attire, but Baymax gets a striped life preserver - and all are featured on part of a ship with waves behind them. It's a cool new look for many Disney characters, and an aesthetic I adored in both Azurite Sea Starter Decks.

What's Included In The Illumineer's Trove For Azurite Sea

Booster Packs, Dice, & More

While the storage box is nice, it's really the items inside that most people will care about. The Illumineer's Trove for Azurite Sea contains the following items:

  • 8 booster packs
  • 6 card dividers
  • 6 Damage counter dice
  • 1 Lore counter
  • And the storage box itself

Each booster pack has 12 cards that are, of course, randomized. The booster packs feature Baymax, Stitch, and Yzma on the front. The lore counter - and one of the dividers - feature Stitch and his "Alien Buccaneer" card artwork. There are six card dividers, featuring: Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove, Hercules, Tigger, and Baymax from Big Hero 6.

The trading card game, Disney Lorcana, is releasing a fun new pirate-themed expansion soon with some cards looking pretty amazing to play with.

The dividers are made from pretty sturdy cardboard that I always use to separate cards by their Ink from each set. The storage box is also perfect for keeping all the cards in, although it's too large to really use as a deck box to take to competitions. From a collector's perspective, it's an ideal way to store Azurite Sea cards.

Card Highlights From The Azurite Sea Set

New Enchanted Artwork Ups The Chase Factor

Of course, the highlight of the Azurite Sea set of Disney Lorcana are the new Enchanted cards. Each Enchanted card looks like an aged, nautical map and will sometimes even have markings that look like pencil around them. It's a great new aesthetic introduced here, and although I didn't pull any Enchanteds in my Trove, they're some of the most impressive chase cards I've seen in the TCG to date.

A Great Collector's Item With Bonuses Too

The Illumineer's Trove is really more of a collector's item than anything, offering a way for fans to store their cards while opening booster packs. If you don't have an official Lore counter or dice, this is also a great way to get them. Those interested in trying out the TCG for the first time will likely want to start with the various Disney Lorcana: Gateway, which is a great introduction to the game. Still, the Illumineer's Trove is great for any Lorcana fan out there and would also make a nice gift this holiday season.

Compared to other Illumineer's Troves, Azurite Sea's is pretty solid and retains the usual kinds of items (and quality) that Disney Lorcana has given us in the past. While I'll always lament the lack of booklets in these newer boxes, everything that's included here is great. As a set, Azurite Sea has quickly become one of my favorites - and the nautical artwork is undoubtedly a highlight. It feels like Disney Lorcana has reached new heights with Azurite Sea, and I can't wait to see what's next.
