The Disney Lorcana TCG team posted a banlist update notice on their official site on November 3 (local time). They banned 1 copy of the item card 'My Adventure Book' in the Core Constructed format and 1 copy of the action card 'Bend to My Will' in the multiplayer format under beta testing, 'Format Coconut ([Format Coconut])'. Both measures took effect on the day of the announcement, November 3 (Tuesday). No cards were unbanned.

'Too Much Consistency' for Character-Light Decks

'My Adventure Book' is a card included in the 13th set, 'Attack of the Vine!', released in July of this year. Based on the official card gallery, it is a 3-cost item with an uncommon rarity and set number 106. By paying 1 ink and exerting this card, a player reveals the top card of their deck; if it is a non-character card or a character named 'Kevin', it is added to the hand, otherwise it is placed at the bottom of the deck.

In the announcement, Play Design Manager Alyson Erb explained that this card "provided too much consistency" in decks with very few characters or, in some cases, none at all. She added that the card "encourages game patterns that do not contribute to fun and immersive play." The ban applies to all Lorcana tournaments and competitive events held in Core Constructed format at Ravensburger Game Hub stores, and deck lists containing this card are no longer accepted.

The ban list included in the announcement also features 'Hiram Flaversham – Toymaker' from Infinity Constructed. This card was already banned in the Infinity format via an announcement on March 26, and this is not a newly changed rule.

| Format | Banned Card | Notes | |---|---|---| | Core Constructed | My Adventure Book | Newly banned on November 3 | | Infinity Constructed | Hiram Flaversham – Toymaker | Banned on March 26, maintained | | Format Coconut (Beta) | Bend to My Will | Newly banned on November 3, applies only to this format |

First Ban in Multiplayer Beta Format

'Format Coconut' is a multiplayer format released in open beta last August. According to official guidelines, players build a deck of 60 or more cards of up to 3 colors centered around 1 character designated as the 'Coconut card', with up to 4 copies of characters connected to the Coconut card and 1 copy of each remaining card. It assumes 3 to 4 player matches, and the first to collect 25 lore wins.

Senior Game Designer Lukas Litzsinger stated that 'Bend to My Will' "halts the game when played" and represents "a net negative to the play experience." He added that because the structure involves competing against multiple opponents up to 25 lore, this card is more likely to appear in multiplayer than in 1-on-1 matches. This ban applies only to Format Coconut and has no impact on other formats. The team stated that no other cards are currently of concern, they will continue to monitor the format, and they will keep accepting feedback surveys.

What Changes for Korean Players

Lorcana's official website offers four language options—English, German, French, and Italian—and does not include Korean. No official domestic distribution or Korean-edition release announcements have been confirmed. Therefore, this ban does not immediately affect domestic official tournament schedules. However, domestic players who import and play the English edition or participate in overseas Game Hub store tournaments must remove 'My Adventure Book' from their Core Constructed decks starting from the 3rd. Decks that lowered their character ratio to draw hands with this card must be rebuilt. The ban list is published as a table in the body of the official site's notice.
