Disney Lorcana's tenth main set, Whispers in the Well, arrived at prerelease on November 7, 2025, with a wide retail release a week later on November 14, 2025. It followed Fabled, the ninth set built around A Goofy Movie, and set up the mystery-and-intrigue storyline the game has been running with since.
The set introduced a brand-new card classification called Whispers, along with a mechanic called Boost that lets players strengthen those cards from the deck. Two franchises joined Lorcana for the first time here: Disney's The Black Cauldron and the 1990s series Gargoyles.
Despite being close to a year old at this point, Whispers in the Well has never gotten dedicated coverage here, even though collectors are still opening packs, chasing Enchanted pulls, and building around its cards. This guide covers what's actually in the set, how it plays, and what a collector picking it up now should know.
Whether you're catching up on a set you missed or revisiting your Whispers in the Well pulls a year later, the basics below cover the whole release.
The main set carries 204 cards with unique rules text, the same scale as a typical Lorcana main-set release. On top of those, rarer Enchanted, Epic, and Iconic versions of existing cards give the set its real chase-rarity depth.
Iconic is the rarest classification in the game, and Whispers in the Well only added a small handful of new Iconic cards to that pool. Boosters ship 12 cards each, with 24 packs to a booster box, the standard Lorcana distribution.
Whispers are a new classification of glimmer described as strange, not-fully-formed specters summoned off torn or damaged pages of the Lorebook. In the story, they roam the Inkwell Caverns beneath the Great Illuminary, and the set's whole framing is built around investigating where they're coming from.
Mechanically, Whispers work alongside the new Boost keyword rather than replacing any existing card type. Cards like Megara - Secret Keeper and Simba - King in the Making are among the Whisper glimmers introduced in this set.
Boost lets a player place cards from their deck beneath a Whisper card to trigger a new ability or make an existing one stronger.
It's the first mechanic built specifically around the Whisper card type, and it gives those cards a build-around identity distinct from a normal glimmer.
Gargoyles joined the game for the first time with cards like Demona - Scourge of the Wyvern Clan, Goliath - Clan Leader, and Elisa Maza - Intrepid Investigator.
The Black Cauldron also debuted, bringing The Horned King in as a Wicked Ruler and the titular cauldron itself as a powerful item card.
The set's mystery framing paired naturally with Zootopia's Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, timed to line up with the franchise's latest film.
A Sleepy Hollow-inspired subplot also runs through the set, with The Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane, and Katrina Van Tassel all appearing as cards.
Whispers in the Well shipped as booster packs and booster boxes, an Illumineer's Trove, and two Single-Player Decks split Amber/Emerald and Sapphire/Steel.
Playmats featuring Jasmine and Mickey Mouse art rounded out the set's product lineup at launch.
Because Whispers in the Well already released, collectors coming to it now are shopping the secondary market or remaining sealed product rather than chasing a fresh street date. That's actually an advantage: pull rates, card values, and deck viability are all settled rather than speculative.
Sealed booster boxes from this set are harder to find than they were at launch, so singles and loose packs are often the more realistic entry point now. Checking a card's current market price before buying loose packs still helps set expectations for what a typical box actually returns.
Whispers in the Well continued the larger arc Lorcana had been building since earlier sets, layering a mystery framing on top of the game's usual Disney crossovers. The set's own marketing leaned hard into the detective angle, tying the Whisper investigation directly to the Zootopia characters featured in it.
That storytelling thread carried forward into the sets that followed, including Winterspell and Wilds Unknown. Collectors following Lorcana's ongoing story find Whispers in the Well is a genuine turning point rather than a standalone release.
