Here's your clean, one-stop roundup for casual fans and tournament grinders. Quick hits, clear dates, and concrete steps to get ready for Fabled and the end of the Reign of Jafar season.

Top story: Fabled countdown + app update

The Disney Lorcana Companion App updated today with Fabled support. That means you can browse new cards, track collection targets, and prep lists before prerelease. Open the app and refresh the database if you don't see the new set.

Release timing is close now: Local game stores get Fabled on Friday, August 29, with full retail on Friday, September 5. Plan your preorders and time off accordingly.

Ravensburger's official news feed pushed several Fabled pieces this week and last:

• Deck Tech (Aug 12) with early list ideas.
• Creative Spotlight (Aug 15) on Fabled's art choices.
• New rarities explainer (Aug 4) for Epic and Iconic.
• Skim these to understand how packs and pulls will feel and what early builds try to do. (coolstuffinc.com)

What to do now

• Update the Companion App and favorite must-craft cards.
• Read the official rarities article so you know the chase cards (Epic/Iconic) and don't misprice trades. (disneylorcana.com)
• Set calendar alerts for Aug 29 (LGS) and Sep 5 (retail).

Rotation + formats: last checks before September

Rotation hits with Fabled. Core Constructed will drop Sets 1-4. A separate Infinity Constructed format keeps every card legal (with its own ban list). If you haven't reviewed your deck, do it now so you're tournament-legal for September.

Action items

• Run a rotation pass on your main 60. If a key card rotates, look for its Fabled reprint first before scrapping the shell.
• Save an Infinity list if you love your pre-rotation deck; many LGS events are planning both formats this fall.

Organized Play Watch

Set Championships for Reign of Jafar should've been wrapped up by now. You can scout results and posted lists to tune your sideboard for the last few RoJ weekends. InkDecks shows fresh event posts and Top 8s from Aug 10-16. (inkdecks.com)

Looking ahead, Lorcana Challenge events return in Q4. Milwaukee, Oct 24-26 is already listed on the official page and marked sold out.

Competitive Checklist

• Goldfish your Fabled-legal Core list now, not the week of rotation. It's important to see what fits in rather than reconstructing an entire deck you may be unfamiliar with.
• If you're traveling for a Challenge, bookmark the official page and your event hub for cap increases or side-event info. (disneylorcana.com)

Casual Corner

New or returning? You're in a great spot:

• The Companion App is the easiest way to learn cards and track pulls. Use the built-in lore counter and collection management to see what you have and still need.
• Fabled adds a lot of reprints, which helps budget builds catch up. Read the official rarities and art posts to understand what's flavor vs. function in your packs.

Key Dates

• Aug 29, 2025 - Fabled at local game stores (prerelease/early sales).
• Sep 5, 2025 - Fabled wide retail. Core rotation goes live for competitive play.
• Oct 24-26, 2025 - Lorcana Challenge, Milwaukee (sold out). Watch for stream and side-event details.

Wrapping up

With set champs and spoiler season now officially over, we're kind of in a lull until Fabled is out. All we can do is speculate and play-test a bit until the new league kits are set up for locals. Be sure to keep a lookout on the Ravensburger Play Hub for pre-release events to celebrate Disney Lorcana's first rotation for core Constructed, as well as new epic, enchanted, and iconic cards to collect this set.
