The story
Ursula is rising to seize power over Lorcana! Stand against her and her horde of entangled glimmers to save the realm. Whether you face her with friends or alone in solo play, your goal is clear: defeat the sea witch and restore the future of Lorcana.
The official website contains a few short stories that seem to discuss the story that leads up to the fight against Ursula, as well as an epilogue. Enjoy reading them, and you'll learn a bit more about the stories of some cards.

Set analysis
Illumineer's Quest: Deep Trouble is the first "Illumineer's Quest" product, a new way of playing Disney Lorcana, where you team up with up to three friends to beat a boss deck (Ursula). Yes, 1 to 4-player PvE co-op!
The product comes with two pre-made decks with "normal" cards from the first four sets, but they don't contain any new "normal" cards. The Amethyst-Steel deck centers around Brooms (with a foil Micky Mouse - Playful Sorcerer and a foil Yen Sid - Powerful Sorcerer), while the Amber-Ruby deck has an Amber cost reduction-heal-Support theme (with Piglet - Pooh Pirate Captain) and Ruby challenge theme (with Mulan - Elite Archer).
The 50 card Ursula Scenario Deck contains new cards with a new rarity icon (for Scenario) and a spooky Ursula-styled layout:
- 16 Characters - of which 11 have the new "Entangled" Character class.
- 12 Actions (no songs).
- 3 Items.
These Scenario cards are not playable/legal in "normal" games. These cards are intended to stay together in the Deep Trouble scenario deck, so we won't be analyzing them for "regular" play. Just keep the Deep Trouble package (without the two "normal" decks) together so you can take it out when you're in for a teaming up with your friends for a change!
On top of that, you'll get the following things you'll want to keep in your Deep Trouble package:
- 1 oversized Ursula - Ruler of Lorcana "boss" card,
- 2 oversized, double-sided battleground cards (you can find those in the official app's lore counter),
- 1 Deep Trouble playmat, which helps you to play Ursula's turns (it's in the same material as those playmats in the starter decks),
- the Deep Trouble rules sheet, which contains the custom rules for this product.
The product also comes with:
- several cardboard tokens and counters (as in the starter decks), and
- 1 secret victory card in a special wrapper (no spoilers here ;-) but it's a "normal" special art Disney Lorcana card).
