As the fourth major expansion for Disney Lorcana, Ursula’s Return was the set that truly mastered the “Themed Trove” concept. While early sets were still finding their footing with accessory quality, this Trove introduced a level of polish that has made it a long-term favorite for players who love the darker, nautical side of the Disney universe.
What’s Inside the Box?
The MSRP for this Trove is $49.99, maintaining the premium bundle status that collectors expect from a major set release.
This is probably the best Ursula’s Return Product you can get along side the new Illumineer’s Quest Deep Trouble.
- 8 Ursula’s Return Booster Packs: Standard 12-card packs from the fourth expansion.
- 1 Decorative Storage Box: A reinforced, full-art box designed for active card storage.
- 6 Card Dividers: High-quality, themed dividers organized by ink color.
- 6 Damage Counter Dice: Translucent purple dice with white numbering.
- 1 Lore Counter: A premium spin-dial for tracking your progress to 20 Lore.
The Storage Box: A Deep Sea Vault
The primary draw for the Trove format is the box itself. By Set 4, Ravensburger perfected the dimensions to ensure it functions as a legitimate TCG accessory rather than just packaging.
- Build Quality: The box is made of heavy-duty, laminated cardstock. Unlike the earlier First Chapter boxes, the lid fit is much more secure, preventing accidental spills during transport.
- Capacity: It is designed to hold approximately 500 unsleeved cards or roughly 3 fully sleeved decks with room for accessories.
- Aesthetic: The artwork captures the “Ink Storm” narrative perfectly, with swirling purples and greens that make it one of the most visually striking pieces for a display shelf.
The Accessories: The “Purple” Standard
Starting with Into the Inklands, the Trove contents were upgraded, and Ursula’s Return took that momentum to a new aesthetic height.
- The Dice: These are a deep, translucent purple—widely considered some of the best-looking dice in the early era of the game. They are highly readable and feel significantly more premium than the solid-color dice found in later sets.
- The Dividers: Made of thick, coated cardstock that resists fraying. The height is optimized for the box, allowing you to see the ink symbols even when the box is full of sleeved cards.
- The Lore Tracker: The spin-dial is sturdy and features the set’s iconic key art. It provides a tactile “click” that feels much more reliable than the paper sliders found in starter decks.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Best-in-Class Dice: The translucent purple dice are a favorite for Amethyst players. | No Collector’s Booklet: This set followed the trend of removing the player’s guide/setlist booklet. |
| High Durability: The box and dividers are built for actual daily use and transport. | Limited Print: Like most Troves, these are rarely reprinted once the next set arrives. |
| Thematic Consistency: The dark, nautical aesthetic is cohesive across all components. | 6 Dividers Only: You may need extra dividers if you separate cards by both ink and rarity. |
The Verdict: Is It Worth It?
Buy it if: You are an Amethyst player who wants the most thematic dice in the game, or if you need a high-quality, permanent storage solution for your Ursula’s Return set bulk.
Pass it if: You already have sufficient storage and are only looking for the best “price-per-pack” ratio. A booster box remains the better choice for raw pack-opening value.
The Ursula’s Return Illumineer’s Trove remains a “must-buy” for the aesthetic alone. It is the most polished choice from the early expansions, offering functional, beautiful tools for the high-seas adventurer.
