Mikey Mouse Club #42 – Location, Location, Location!

My good friend JB, a pretty darn good Lorcana player that plays in a lot of the big tournaments, introduced me to a new deck that did particularly well in a recent Seattle event and friends, I am head...

Mikey Mouse Club #41 – Under the Azurite Sea!

Azurite Sea, Lorcana’s sixth release, sets sail in late November and it’s looking like another fine set for the game as it continues to steam through its second year. Of course we are getting another 200+ cards to play...

Mikey Mouse Club #40 – Get Started With Azurite Sea!

We take a first look at the upcoming Azurite Sea set for Lorcana.

Mikey Mouse Club #38 – Be Aggressive!

Mikey Mouse Club #21 – Restricted Area!

As someone that was around when Magic: The Gathering first released, I recall when Wizards of the Coast/DCI started restricting the use of certain cards in deckbuilding. Granted, it was still very much a Wild West sort of atmosphere...

Mikey Mouse Club #20 – I Got Yer Be Prepared Right Here

I learned a few things at the recent Lorcana Set Championship events. One is that I absolutely do not want to sit and play Lorcana for eight hours straight, no matter how much I like the game. Another is...
