Ravensburger pulled My Adventure Book, a card based on Ellie's scrapbook from Up, out of Core Constructed play on Nov. 3. By our count, that's 102 days after its set hit store shelves.
Disney Lorcana just took away a scrapbook. Ravensburger banned My Adventure Book, an item card inspired by Pixar's Up, from Core Constructed play, effective Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The card arrived in the Attack of the Vine! set, which hit stores July 24. By our math, it lasted 102 days before getting the boot.
In the official announcement, play design manager Alyson Erb wrote that the card "provided too much consistency" for decks that run "very few or, in some cases, no characters."
In other words, players figured out they could skip most of the Disney characters and build decks around a pile of items and actions. Ravensburger says that pattern isn't "conducive to fun and engaging play."
The company says character cards "have always been at the heart of our game," and it wants strategies "that allow character cards to shine."
Laughing Place reported the ban Thursday, Nov. 5, describing it as a push for more character-focused gameplay.
Here's Lorcana YouTuber Wossy Plays breaking down the My Adventure Book ban:
What does the Lorcana ban mean for players?
In plain terms, you can't put My Adventure Book in a Core Constructed deck for tournaments and competitive events at Ravensburger Game Hub stores. Those stores won't accept decklists that include it.
Nobody is recalling the card or coming for your binder. Infinity Constructed, the format that lets you use cards from every set, still lists only one banned card, and it isn't this one.
Casual play is less clear. When Ravensburger banned a card in March, it said players could still use it in casual games with friends and family. The new notice doesn't address casual play either way.
Ravensburger did admit the timing stings. "We know banning cards can cause some upheaval in current decks or strategies," the announcement says.
What does the My Adventure Book card do?
Type: Emerald item, costs 3 ink, uncommon, card 106 of 207
Ability: "New Memories." Pay 1 ink, then reveal the top card of your deck.
The catch: If that card is a non-character card, or a character named Kevin, it goes into your hand. Anything else goes to the bottom of your deck.
Kevin, of course, is the giant bird from Up. She got a VIP pass. Every other character got sent to the back of the line.
That's why decks with few characters loved it. When almost nothing in your deck is a character, almost every reveal turns into an extra card.
What else did Disney Lorcana ban?
The same Nov. 3 notice banned Bend to My Will, a 7-cost action that makes each opponent discard their whole hand. That ban only applies to Format Coconut, a multiplayer format that's still in open beta.
Coconut games run to 25 lore with several opponents at the table. Lead game designer Lukas Litzsinger wrote that the card "grinds games to a halt," since everyone else is stuck playing off the top of their deck.
And yes, Ravensburger prints that format's name in square brackets every time, which reads like a working title. The company hasn't said.
How many cards has Disney Lorcana banned?
Not many. Ravensburger has been pretty stingy with the ban hammer.
April 8, 2025: Hiram Flaversham, Toymaker (the inventor dad from The Great Mouse Detective) and Fortisphere, the game's first-ever bans, in Core Constructed
March 26, 2026: Hiram Flaversham again, this time in Infinity Constructed, after co-creator Steve Warner said the card created an "insurmountable resource gap"
Nov. 3, 2026: My Adventure Book in Core Constructed and Bend to My Will in Format Coconut
Poor Hiram. Two bans in under a year.
Where can Disney fans find Lorcana in the parks?
Lorcana's newest set, Hyperia City, launched Oct. 16 at World of Disney in Disney Springs and Disney's Pin Trader in the Downtown Disney District, both with virtual queues, as we covered.
The next big park tie-in is the 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, presented by Disney Lorcana for the first time. It runs Jan. 15 to March 1, 2027. That's 46 days, a week longer than the 2026 festival, BlogMickey reported.
The Ink and Find Scavenger Hunt, the Collection Quest and the Illumineer's Lounge are all coming back. In 2026, the lounge sat in the Morocco pavilion, where guests traded cards to finish their Collection Quest sets, WDWMagic reported.
The ban notice covers tournaments and competitive events, not scavenger hunts. So your copy of My Adventure Book can still ride along to EPCOT as a souvenir from Up's Lorcana debut.
