Multiple Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn spoilers dropped early on Oct. 19, leading up to the soft launch through local stores on Nov. 17. All the cards were in French but that didn’t slow the community down when it came to translating.

Standing out from the raft of interesting Rise of the Floodborn spoilers was another Amethyst-colored Lorcana card that synergizes with the Merlin cycle bounce strategy. Arthur, Wizard’s Apprentice is expected to be a bounce engine, much like Madam Mim, Snake, gaining Lore while bouncing another Character back to hand.

Learning the ways of wizardry is Arthur, Wizard’s Apprentice, a three-drop un-Inkable Character in the color of Amethyst with 1/3 stats. 

  • Casting cost: Three (un-Inkable)
  • Type: Dreamborn, Hero, and Sorcerer
  • Color: Amethyst
  • Stats: 1/3
  • Student: Whenever this Character Quests, you may return another chosen Character of yours to your hand and gain two Lore. 

Featured within the Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn set is a cycle of Merlin cards that synergize with Characters getting returned to hand, or bounced. Gaining Lore value from other Characters getting bounced back to hand is Merlin, Shapeshifter. The sorcerer is a decent combo with Arthur, Wizard’s Apprentice, as are the other three Merlin Characters.

The trick, though, will be deciding whether Arthur, Wizard’s Apprentice is enough to fuel a bounce deck or if Madam Mim, Snake is needed too. And with Arthur, Wizard’s Apprentice having an unInkable casting cost, it’s possible the growing wizard doesn’t make the cut.

Players can test out the Disney Lorcana bounce deck and Arthur, Wizard’s Apprentice when Rise of the Floodborn drops in stores on Nov. 17 and major outlets on Dec. 1.
