Mirror, mirror on the wall. What are the most desirable and valuable steel cards? In Disney's Lorca, Steele is home to some of the strongest bodyguards and toughest fighters. This set is very popular for pairing with almost any gem color in the game.
But let's ignore all this talk of strength and power and instead focus on which of these cards is more valuable. It's all about the artwork and rarity of the cards when it comes to collecting or displaying an impressive centerpiece in the deck. So, what are the most popular and valuable steel cards?
This list is based on the average market price shown on TCGPlayer.
10 Piggy, Strong Swordsman (Enchanted) – $67.23
Series Four, Ursula's Return
This sweet little boy in a series called Ursula's Return? Well, of course, Piglet has to fight all the introduced villains. This card shows us adorable, but fierce at the same time! Check out the sweet Piglet with a set of armor made from a colander and scrap pieces of wood held together with rope.
There are also swirls of silver energy around her that give her card movement and a glow that, although hidden by the stat block text, continues underneath, showing what this card can do in incredible detail below. It does highlights. It's also a character who may never see another enchanted version of themselves. Only time will tell.
9 Mickey Mouse Trumpeter (Enchanted) – $70.50
Set three, to the Inklands
It's no surprise that Mickey Mouse has another enchanted card under his belt. After all, he's just kind of the heart and soul of the Disney brand. In terms of the positioning and placement of Mickey and his trumpet, the enchanted version doesn't differ much from the standard card art.
However, instead of having bright colors in the background that match the saturation of Mickey's outfit, in the enchanted version, the colors in the background are more muted, allowing Mickey and his trumpet to stand out against the rocks and sky. It looks like he's the only one left in the ruins, but he just keeps going. Is this the power of friendship on display?
8 Hercules, Divine Hero (Enchanted) – $71.25
Series Two, Rise Of The Floodborn
If you're a fan of the Disney classic Hercules, it's pretty obvious where the inspiration for this card came from. Although, this is a spoiler for the ending of the movie. If you want to see this as a good card and move on, it looks good, enjoy the rest of the list! But at the end of the film, when all of Olympus seems lost to Hades, Hercules takes the place of the gods, allowing him to triumph not only over Hades, but over the Fates as well.
He returns to Olympus with Meg, shining with a brilliant golden light that matches the over-saturation of the other gods. This is achieved even more because the background colors on this card, similar to the Enchanted Mickey card, are muted with gray tones behind him. The flash of light around his fist is a nice detail that makes the card come alive.
7 Arthur, The Victorious King (Enchanted) – $73.23
Set five, bright sky
Shimmering Skies is just right when you see how enchanted cards are made for this set. Unlike the enchanted cards in previous sets, this card makes the stat block much more transparent to allow the artwork to take center stage. And that's especially true for this card of Arthur and his flowing red and white robes that shine just below the abilities section.
Silent backgrounds, anyone? Unlike Mickey and Hercules, Arthur's card features bright blues, greens, and yellows to help the boy king stand out from his background. In the foreground, we have a young boy holding a sword that, frankly, is too big for him to handle. But not in the world of animation and art.
6 Snow White, Kindhearted (Enchanted) – $107.12
Set five, bright sky
Well, are you looking at that other cute card from Disney's Lorcana set of five? Snow White is more than $30 more than Arthur the Conqueror. This could be because she is one of the most iconic Disney princesses, the first to pave the way for others to follow.
She joins the likes of Anna, the True-Hearted, and Cinderella, the Stouthearted, as this theme of princesses-turned-heroes continues, and this could be the cutest of them all. Both Snow White's strength and kindness are on display in this card, as she offers a finger to a bird to rest on, resting her weight on her large, golden shield.
5 And Then Came Zeus (charm) – $127.61
Set three, to the Inklands
And then Along Came Zeus is the only non-character card on this list, which could be due in equal measure to the card's power and the dynamic artwork that depicts the King of Olympus smiting the Titans while lightning rains down from above. depicts
Much like Hercules, the divine hero, we see Zeus glowing in brilliant orange and gold against a dark, stormy background, truly setting him apart even from the long arms of the Titans. The lightning detail shines nicely on the card, making it stunning and worth marveling at as the card moves back and forth.
4 Simba, The Returned King (Enchanted) – 146.66
The first series, the first chapter
Simba returns to Pride Rock in this enchanting card art inspired by the end of The Lion King. Simba takes his throne in the darkest time the Pridelands have ever seen, with a storm brewing behind him, a flash of lightning lighting him up and rooting him out of the fear he was away with. separates
Although there are no other lions watching or cheering him on, there are other animals in the background to show that he has an audience waiting for him to take his place. These include a family of monkeys and a zebra that takes a good look at the lion's booty. Don't worry, they look respectfully.
3 Robin Hood, Hero of Sherwood (Enchanted) – $157.67
Set three, to the Inklands
Talk about another animal-based character that has no right to look so good, it's Robin Hood! In this enchanted card, Robin Hood stands in the middle of the card, poised with his sword and bow, but shows that he is ready to fight at the first sign of trouble.
This card continues the trend of having a dark and honestly ominous background, allowing him to stand out thanks to his bright orange fur and green tunic. They are the only sources of color in the card, which further illuminates his importance and status as the people's hero.
2 Ariel, Sonic Warrior (E Enchanted) – $199.13
Series Four, Ursula's Return
This card is almost identical to the enchanted Robin Hood, the hero of Sherwood One, but gives off a different energy. It's not that Ariel isn't well represented in that hero role, but her position and expression are much less stoic. And thanks to her flowing red hair, she adds more life and movement to the artwork.
He is a streak of bright color in the middle of a sea of mostly black and dark green that could swallow most people whole. But not this shining princess with her shining golden armor and spear. Even though it follows the same formula of dark background and bright character in the foreground, it creates a more playful and cheerful mood.
1 Tinker Bell, Giant Fairy (Enchanted) – $264.04
The first series, the first chapter
I don't think we're in London anymore, Tink. This card continues to make waves both in tournaments and in terms of its art and value. Tinker Bell, the giant fairy takes one of the most popular characters in Disney history and makes her big enough to dress up as Captain Hook and his entire crew.
The value may come from the fact that it was also one of the first Enchantment cards, seeing as how Tink, Stitch, Carefree Surfer, and Elsa, Spirit of Winter all hold such high value. However, it could still be due to the popularity of the characters.
