Updated 26 October 2026 · Results and meta share from inkDecks

  1. Emerald/Steel Evasive

    Emerald / Steel

    🏆 1st, Al Ritmo de la Magia (Spain) — 24 Oct 2026, one of the first Hyperia City Core events. An Attack of the Vine! version won the 144-player Lorca-Breizh CCQ the same day.

    Cheap Evasive characters — Pegasus, White Rabbit, Mushu and Vixey — quest while only other Evasive characters can challenge them. Elinor - Renowned Diplomat gains a lore, draws a card and deals 1 damage at the end of your turn once three of your characters are exerted, Strength of a Raging Fire deals damage equal to the number of characters you have, and Ursula - Deceiver strips a song from your opponent’s hand. Its seven Hyperia City cards — Flash, Wildcat and Woolter & Jesse — are newer than the deck builder’s card index, so find them on our Hyperia City singles page.

    Key cards: Elinor - Renowned Diplomat, Mushu - Stealthy Dragon, Vixey - Forest Friend, Angel - Experiment 624, Strength of a Raging Fire

  2. Amber/Emerald Circle of Life songs

    Amber / Emerald

    2nd, Al Ritmo de la Magia (Spain) — 24 Oct 2026, Hyperia City Core.

    Cheap Amber singers — Angel - Siren Singer, Ursula - Vanessa and Alan-a-Dale count as cost 3 or 4 when singing — cast songs for free: Strike a Good Match and Akood et Emuti for cards, Malicious, Mean, and Scary and To Wither a Flower to sweep small characters, and Circle of Life. Max Goof - Chart Topper replays songs from the discard, and Milo Thatch and Prince Phillip close the game.

  3. Amber/Emerald songs (Attack of the Vine!)

    Amber / Emerald

    🏆 1st, CCQ Vienna — 3 Oct 2026, 215 players, Attack of the Vine! Core.

    The set 13 version of the songs deck above, and the winner of the largest event in our October list. It runs Mother Knows Best and Gaetan Moliere where the newer build has fresh Hyperia City cards, so every card in it is from a set we already stock.

    Key cards: Circle of Life, Max Goof - Chart Topper, Chernabog - Unnatural Force, Milo Thatch - Getting His Hands Dirty, Akood et Emuti

  4. Amber/Emerald Elinor

    Amber / Emerald

    🏆 1st, Sevilla CCQ — 10 Oct 2026, 143 players, Attack of the Vine! Core. Elinor decks also took 2nd and 3rd.

    A go-wide deck: one-cost characters such as Aurora, Pluto and Thomas plus cost reducers — Grandmother Willow, and Pocahontas - Guiding the Tribe, who plays a one-cost character for free — fill the board so Elinor’s end-of-turn trigger fires every turn. Dale - Ready for His Shot lets your characters challenge using their willpower, and Pocahontas - Peacekeeper shifts in as a 6-willpower wall.

    Key cards: Elinor - Renowned Diplomat, Pocahontas - Guiding the Tribe, Grandmother Willow - Ancient Advisor, Dale - Ready for His Shot, Pocahontas - Peacekeeper

  5. Amethyst/Emerald Retro

    Amethyst / Emerald

    🏆 1st, The Cauldron Cup CCQ (USA) — 10 Oct 2026, 138 players, Attack of the Vine! Core.

    Retro Evolution Device banishes one of your own characters to play one costing up to 2 more for free, so cheap characters turn into Hades, Demona and Aladdin & Genie ahead of schedule. Junior Woodchuck Guidebook draws cards, and Under the Sea and Second Star to the Right use Sing Together for big late-game swings.

    Key cards: Retro Evolution Device, Demona - Scourge of the Wyvern Clan, Hades - Looking for a Deal, Aladdin & Genie - Mischievous Pals, Junior Woodchuck Guidebook

    Top 4, Sevilla CCQ — 10 Oct 2026, 143 players, Attack of the Vine! Core.

    Challenger one-drops (Luisa Madrigal, Rafiki) trade up early, Isis Vanderchill exerts a threat and Tigger bounces a cheap card, Gaston - Superior Archer banishes anything with 5 strength or more, and Stitch - Carefree Surfer refills your hand. Raging Storm, which banishes all characters, is the reset button.

    Key cards: Gaston - Superior Archer, Tigger - Bouncing All the Way, Isis Vanderchill - Ice Queen of St. Canard, Stitch - Carefree Surfer, Raging Storm

  7. Amber/Emerald Actions

    Amber / Emerald

    2nd, The Cauldron Cup CCQ (USA) — 10 Oct 2026, 138 players, Attack of the Vine! Core.

    Barely any characters. Items such as Potion of Malice, Inscrutable Map and Battering Ram, and actions like Piercing Attack, chip away at the opponent’s board while Strange Things stops their characters questing, and Stegmutt - Clumsy Dinosaur costs 1 less for every item in your discard. inkDecks prices it at around $58 in the US, one of the cheapest lists to place at a CCQ in October.

    Key cards: Potion of Malice, My Adventure Book, Battering Ram, Strange Things, Stegmutt - Clumsy Dinosaur

Placings are as published on inkDecks. Meta shares are inkDecks’ Core figures for Hyperia City as of 26 October 2026 and will move as more results arrive. Stock and prices change through the day.

How this list is made

Every deck here is a real list that won or reached the top four of a Core Constructed event in October 2026, as published on inkDecks: CCQ Vienna (3 October, 215 players), Sevilla CCQ and The Cauldron Cup CCQ (both 10 October), and the first Hyperia City weekend (24 October). Meta shares are inkDecks' figures for Core decks since Hyperia City, a small sample that will settle over the coming weeks.

Hyperia City (set 14) released on 23 October 2026, so most of these lists are Attack of the Vine! builds that the new format starts from. Our Hyperia City singles are newer than the deck builder's card index, so Hyperia City cards in these lists may show as still to find for now — look for them on that page.

The stock line under each deck is checked live. "Buy this deck" opens the list in our Lorcana deck builder, which adds every card we have to your basket and never adds an Enchanted or Iconic printing without asking.

Reading the list

Lorcana decks are at least 60 cards from one or two inks, with up to four copies of each card. Ink pairs are named in the deck title — Emerald/Steel, Amber/Emerald and so on. For how to adapt one of these lists, see how to build a Disney Lorcana deck; for cheaper options, Lorcana decks on a budget.
