What is a good ink curve in Lorcana?

Most consistent decks peak around 2-4 ink and taper off above 6. A low average ink cost lets you act early, while a smooth curve means you almost always have an on-curve play. Aggro decks skew lower, control decks carry a few high-cost finishers.

How many inkable cards should I run?

A common guideline is roughly 40-50% of the deck inkable, about 24-30 cards in a 60-card list. Too few and you cannot reliably ink each turn to ramp; too many and you flood on weak inkable cards instead of impactful uninkable ones.

What does average ink cost tell me?

It summarizes how expensive your deck is on average. A value near 3 is typical for a balanced deck. Much higher and you may stall on slow turns; much lower and you may run out of gas in longer games.

Why is the 9+ bucket combined?

Very few cards cost 9 or more, so they are grouped into a single bucket to keep the curve readable. They still count toward your total cards and average ink cost.

Does this tool send my deck anywhere?

No. All tallying, the average, and the histogram are computed in your browser with plain JavaScript. Nothing about your deck is uploaded, so it works offline and stays private.

Lorcana Ink Curve Analyzer

Build a tighter Disney Lorcana deck by seeing your ink curve at a glance. Enter how many cards sit at each ink cost and how many of them are inkable, and the tool returns a histogram, your average ink cost, total card count, and whether your inkable ratio is healthy. Everything runs in your browser.

How it works

A constructed Lorcana deck must contain exactly 60 cards. Each card has an ink cost and is either inkable (can be placed into the inkwell to ramp) or uninkable (often the most powerful cards). The analyzer tallies your entries into three numbers:

Average ink cost = (sum of cost × count over all rows) ÷ total cards. This is the mean cost of a card in the deck.
Inkable ratio = inkable cards ÷ total cards, shown as a percentage.
A histogram scaled so the tallest bar fills the row, making the shape of your curve obvious.

The recommended inkable target is 40-50% of the deck (roughly 24-30 of 60). Below that band you may not be able to ink every turn; above it you risk flooding on inkable cards.

Tips and example

A typical midrange curve peaks at 2-4 ink with a handful of cards at 5-7 as finishers.
If your average climbs above about 4.0, add cheaper plays so you are not stuck doing nothing on early turns.
Keep your strongest, game-warping cards uninkable, and fill the inkable quota with flexible cards you would not mind discarding to the inkwell.
Use the over/under indicator next to Total cards to confirm you have hit exactly 60 before a tournament.
